Bum Genius Elemental Diaper review

Here is another diaper that I LOVE! This diaper is the bum genius all in one, one size cloth diaper. The things that I love about this diaper is first and foremost; it's an all in one diaper, this means there is absolutely NO stuffing this diaper! No inserts to mess around with, you simply put the diaper on and take the diaper off. I also love the fact that this diaper is a one size diaper, so it grows with you baby. Bum genius elemental is designed to fit from birth to potty training, so you only have to purchase one diaper making it very cost efficient. This diaper is not a great overnight diaper at least not for us right now. When he sleeps 4 hours or more he usually wakes up drenched, however, he is a heavy wetter. This diaper also stains a lot easier than my other diapers, and this could be due to the fact that it is organic cotton on the inside. Despite the fact that it says it is designed to fit from birth to potty training, this diaper did not fit our baby until he was about 2 months. Because it is so big and bulky it just hung off of him when he was first born. Now that he close to 3 months this diaper has an excellent fit.

You will find that the insert is attached to the inside of this diaper, it is a double layer insert, because the diaper is a one size the insert is longer when the baby is smaller. To make the insert fit the smaller size diaper you simply fold the insert over either in the back, middle, or front for extra protection wherever you may need it. By doing this it makes the diaper a little more bulky. I usually will not use this diaper in my diaper bag because it is so bulky and takes up so much room.

I would recommend this diaper to anyone who is new to cloth diapering, works, or may be utilizing a baby sitter. It is super easy to use, and in fact my husbands favorite diaper to use. Because there are no insert to deal with, you don't have to worry about taking the insert out after changing the baby or stuffing the diaper before using it, making it babysitter/daddy friendly. It only has two rows of snaps to put it on which makes it easy to use. Overall Bum Genius is one of my favorite cloth diapers, and they come in some super cute colors and prints!!
