Blueberry vs BumGenius

Shifter · May 25th, 2009, 07:11 AM

Well, I have officially become addicted to buying cloth nappies! I have a wide assortment now and am loving them.

I got hold of a Blueberry one size after rafwife's glowing review and I have to say that although it is the most absorbent and very silky soft, it is also by far the bulkiest cloth nappy we have! Jack looks like a weeble in it, rolling around on the floor with his legs sticking up in the air, his feet won't touch the floor

I much prefer BumGenius, which is almost identical to the Blueberry in design, it's one size, adjustable poppers on the front, pocket and stuffing, fleecy layer next to skin etc. It is really only the outer layer that differs and it is much more compact. It's also comparable in absorbency and is 2/3 the price of the Blueberry!

5 stars for BumGenius.

5 stars for bum genius fro me too, blueberry follows closely with a 4, for the exact same reasons as you x

Bless him

Niamh is very slim and long, so maybe not as bulky on her. I do love the minky fabric though

Oh I do too...I now have 6 of these nappies and love them to bits, but they can be a nightmare to put clothes over! I put them on Leo when its warm outside and I can get away with him just being in a nappy and t shirt, this way I can show off my fluff bum babba!

Cool! I was worried about using cloth over night because she sleeps through, but the last two nights her pampers have leaked anyway.

What are Bum Genius's like for leaks? I heard they weren't great, but thats just from a few posts on here.

Leo is in his from 9pm until around 6/7 am so overnight too. Just put in an extra soaker pad or two if she heavily wets. I dont like the tots bots bamboozles (all cloth) I think thats what they are called, (the ones you put a waterproof wrap over ) all night cos Leo got up and although the outer was very dry, every millimetre of the nappy was soaked and his skin was VERY wet

But, I have used them in the day and they get thumbs up for me, but only left for a max of 2 hours.

Ive not had any leak problems the BG s as yet, but he's only wet in them so far and his poops are quite formed at the mo, not sure how they will cope with a big runny poop!

I've been using bum genius for about 6 weeks and had my first leak on Friday! I figured out that it probably leaked because I needed to move up to the next snap setting.
