FuzziBunz One Size Pocket Diaper

Nov 19,2009 / By Maria / 2 Comments

>Fuzzibunz were actually my first choice initially when I researched long before I even had a baby on the way. I really don’t remember why I changed my mind and decided to go with bumgenius. The velcro maybe?

I chose the aqua color, thinking it was gender neutral, without being the usual pastel green or yellow. It is a bit lighter than it appeared on the screen & is very pretty.

The fuzzi bunz are very adjustable. They don’t have snaps for a fold down waist, they have adjustable elastic on the waist and legs, reminiscent of adjustable waist pants. I am not sure if it is a piece of elastic through the leg opening cinched on each end, or if there is also a piece running through the rear waist. I suppose the rise itself is reduced by the elastic in the legs being drawn tighter. When it is clean, I will have to look more closely. (ed: looks like I was correct) They came with extra elastic, and according to their website, it is easy to replace.

I imagine you can really get a custom fit for your baby, so if you have a skinny baby with chubby legs, you can still get the right fit.

I need to double check, but I think it came set on “2” for both the legs and the waist. I assumed this was equal to medium, but when I looked it up, it appears there are 4 waist settings and 8 leg settings, and 2/2 is the largest setting? (ed: yep that’s right)

I will take a closer look when it’s clean, but it appears I put my 15.5 pounder in a setting for 30+ lb babies? If so, then this is truly idiot proof because it worked wonderfully with no leaks.

I really wish the diaper came with detailed instruction on sizing, how to adjust and how to get the best fit.

This may be stupid, but it does concern me that they have buttons. I realize that diapers go on the kid’s butt, but you will always have a stash of diapers around, often in the child’s bedroom. We all know that no matter how closely you watch your child, it only takes a split second for something to happen. I wonder if a child has ever gnawed the button off of a fuzzi bunz diaper, or if one has fallen off? I seem to have bad luck with buttons falling off clothing items. These buttons are small and I imagine one could come off without the parent immediately realizing it, and that it would be hard to locate if it did. Meaning, a baby could find and ingest it.

This was the first and only diaper I’ve had with snaps. I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to get a good fit and that I’d have a hard time snapping them. I had no trouble at all and in fact, it was nice not to have to struggle with laundry tabs or diaper chains. Looking at all those rows of snaps was intimidating but it was easy as pie. I question how this diaper would work on a younger baby. The second set of adjustments must cinch the rear waist tighter.

I’ve read that snaps are great for bigger babies, especially older ones who try to take their diapers off. The longevity of a snap is supposed to be better than velcro also, though you will likely have to replace a snap here or there someday.

The liner seemed smaller than the bumgenius, but we had no absorbency issues. It had a doubler included as well. Here’s a photo comparing the BG to the FB liner. Doublers not pictured, I usually only use them at night.

This diaper is so trim I can hardly believe it is cloth. This is the diaper I thought I’d like the least, but it’s my new favorite. I do wonder if it would be a lot more bulky on smaller settings, but as I used it, it was still trimmer than the BG on the largest setting, with a single, unfolded liner.

Photo shows the diaper after I corrected it to the 3/3 setting. Not as trim as the large setting, but still trim.

As of today, this would be my #1 choice for diapers I’d like to fill my stash with. It doesn’t have the extra PUL stopper to prevent wicking, but we didn’t have any wicking problems.

My inclination would be to use these during the day and use the BG on the largest setting at night, with multiple doublers inserted.

Here’s a question though, is my kid going to immediately poop in every new diaper I get?

Edit August 2010: I don’t care for the triangular snap formation and I didn’t care much for the fit one I sized it down. This is another one that I will plan to try again when my son has grown a bit. I am very interested in trying Fuzzibunz “perfect size” diapers.

>I was very excited to get my package today (yesterday by the time I got around to finishing & publishing this). The colors are lighter than I’d expected, which is the opposite of what I’d experienced with the bumgenius.

The monkey print I chose for the Happy Heiny’s diaper is adorable!! It confuses me a bit though because it has 4 rows of snaps. Most one size diapers have 3 rows. All open for large, 1st to second for medium and third for small. I’m guessing it must be an extra small setting?

The Blueberry Minky diaper is super soft and very cute.

My initial instinct is that the Bumgenius are nicer than all of these others.

The BG pockets are kind of hidden, rather than just open at the top of the diaper, and it has additional waterproof material at the front and back to prevent wicking onto baby’s clothing if the insert were near the front or back.

The BG inserts also seem much larger, which makes me think they would be more absorbent & would be more likely to work with the single insert alone on the larger settings, rather than having to use the doublers.

Lastly, as much as I’ve heard people say the BG laundry tabs stop working over time, these other diapers’ laundry tabs seem useless already. I had a heck of a time getting them to stick when getting them ready to wash the first time. After I’ve washed the BGs, I actually struggle to get the velcro OFF the laundry tabs!

I had a bit of a diaper chain when I got them out of the wash. They are hanging to dry and I am starting the process of washing the blueberry diaper’s insert multiple times. It is made of hemp and it comes with natural oils on it that need to be washed off. It has to be washed separately to avoid causing absorbency issues on other items, and it will not reach it’s maximum absorbency until after 6-10 washes.

I will with hold judgment until I have seen them in action, but if I had to pick RIGHT NOW which diapers I would prefer more of based on just this initial assessment (and price aside) I would choose more BG 3.0s.

>I think I mentioned before that we planned to use hubby’s plasma donation $ to build up a cloth stash. He was showing me his latest boo-boo from said donation and told our son that he is bleeding for his red little hiney!

I found a site that had great prices and sold most of the brands I was looking for. Dipes are expensive to begin with, but their cost can easily increase by 50% or more if you have to pay shipping on each item.

I chose 4 brands/styles I wanted to try based on reviews online & from other mamas in the CD groups. Happy Heiny’s one size pocket diapers with aplix, Blueberry Minky one size diaper, Fuzzibunz one size diaper with hip snap and a clearance diaper, Haute one-size traditional pocket diaper. Between the blood $ and a check I had from selling Mary Kay, I had about $100 to spend. There was a $5/$50 coupon as well as free shipping with a $99 purchase.

I threw in some Grandma El’s Diaper Rash Cream (post on diaper rash and CD safe creams to come!) and a planet wise small wet bag. I had been using gallon size ziplocs for clean/dirties when we went out up to this point.

A mom in the CD group on cafemom makes cooshie tooshies diapers. I was able to get a screaming deal on a pocket diaper and an AIO. They are mediums, whereas all the other diapers I have purchased were one size. However, the price was great and definitely worth it.

Now the worst part, waiting for the packages to arrive!
