Fuzzibunz Perfect Size Diapers

Jul 26,2012 / By Maria / 7 Comments

With my recent post about sized vs. one-size diapers, I thought a post about Fuzzibunz Perfect Size Diapers (affiliate link) might be in order! I’ve had my size medium for almost two years, and I had several of the newborn diapers as well. The newborn diapers didn’t work for us because I had a skinny legged, heavy wetter, but they would have worked much better if they had separate waist & leg snaps like the bigger sizes. What I found most notable about the size medium was how large it was, so I was curious about the sizing of the small, and Kelly’s Closet sent me one for the Blogger Beach Bash.

If you’ve been around a while, you’ve heard the story of my cloth diaper research 8 years ago when I was expecting my daughter. I found the Fuzzibunz Perfect size diapers, but thought I’d need 24 diapers in each of 4 or more sizes, and I was scared away by the cost. When I researched again 4 years later when I was expecting my son, I realized that I had just missed the creation of Bumgenius one-size diapers shortly after my daughter was born! In my (almost) three years of cloth diapering, I’ve seen tons of new diaper brands pop up, and they seem to almost always be one-size. So, why would you ever buy sized diapers?
