Okay, here's my question: Ive tried so many cloth diapers, to end up where we started, loving Bum Genius os. No other diaper absorbed so much, and didnt leak. The not-leaking is crucial. I attribute that to the cover design. Are these new diapers from Cotton Babies made with the same cover design, leg elastic, etc? Then Im sold! Because with a second baby on the way, I want some diapers that I dont have to stuff in the rotation, that actually work. So the Econobum or the new Flip sound like good options.

I have had my full kit for over a week now. All in all I think this is a great buy for the price. Having said that, i don't love the prefolds. I can't seem to snappi them. It seems like they are meant to simply be folded in the middle which I don't think works well in keeping in the mess. I do like the covers a lot - especially the fact that they are one size. If possible I would rather buy the covers and use a more standard prefold.

I am a cloth diaper junkie- I have tried everything and when they released these, I had to try them! So far- I love them! I love the fact that you can buy an entire system for just under $100 (if you were to buy 2 sets). If you were wanting to do a similar low budget system of proraps and prefolds- you would need to buy the same amount of covers in each size which then would add up to over $250. If someone truly is on a tight budget- this is the system to buy as it will be everything you will need. HOWEVER, you get what you pay for- and these can not be compared with the Flip, one-size, organics or all in ones- you are going to be paying more for having a higher quality product. These do not compare. This is a stand-alone product that I applaud Cottonbabies for creating to better serve families with small budgets. My 18month old chunker has been wearing them the last 4 days and so far, I have no complaints. No leaks, no blowouts, no rubbing. They aren't a trim as the regular BG's- but they work. And if I was giving them a rating based on pricing and performance- I give them 10 stars!

i love these diapers! love them! the covers are super. they are leak free and fit like a dream. and the prefolds are so absorbant that they seem to keep my son's skin nice and dry. others have commented that the prefolds are too bulky and i disagree. i think they are fine! i am very happy with my purchase and will be getting one more kit to complete our diaper stash!
