Genius! Bumgenius, that is.
Holy moly - this is a huge topic. I had no idea what I was getting myself into when we started to cloth diaper Finn. Prefolds, cover, pockets, inserts, all-in-ones, all-in-twos, wetbags, detergents - AAAHHHHHHHHH. It was overwhelming to get started. Luckily, I have a couple of friends that cloth diaper and they were more than happy to share what they liked/disliked.
We ended up skipping prefolds/covers. Finn was already 4 months and HUGE when we delved into cloth so he fit into one sized diapers already. I wanted to stick with OS when possible to minimize the gain the maximum money savings (ha ha). I found a lot of great deals online and started to build my stash. Bumgenius was recommended to me by just about everyone. And I was in luck - there was a coupon for FREE 3.0's (an all-in-one) with the purchase of $XX of other Bumgenius products floating around in a couple of magazines. Although they aren't one size diapers I decided to go for it (hey, free is free) and Bumgenius 3.0 became our diaper of choice for overnight.
They've since been discontinued the 3.0 but they've launched Bumgenius 4.0 with some new features (better aplix, the option for snaps, different elastic) - I'm looking forward to checking them out. We're going to hold off ordering until I can see them in person - I'm happy with our 3.0's and don't feel the need to replace them. For now. I'm eagerly anticipating a trip to Happy Baby Company when we head to Pittsburgh next month. Everything looks pretty on the internet but to see and touch in person is going to make it hard to stick to my monthly budget.
