Fitted Cloth Diapers: Bummis Organic Pre-Fold Diapers 6pack All Sizes Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After washing, the size small (what Bummis refers to as Infant: 7 - 20 lbs) shrink to roughly 11.5 by 14 inches. My son is growing pretty fast but is still shy of both 2 months and 15 pounds. Nevertheless, he outgrew the infant size before he weighed 13 pounds! And that's using covers without pins. He outgrew being able to fasten the infant diapers with a snappi or pins well before that. (Personally, I like being able to use prefolds without water-proof covers like Thirsties--using no covers or using simple wool soakers allows more air to circulate.) To keep using cloth prefolds, I decided to bite the bullet order the medium size organic Bummis prefolds (which Bummis refers to as Baby: 15 - 40 lbs). What a mistake. A few days ago, the came. After laundering them to take out the natural waxes, their dimensions are approximately 12 by 17.5 inches. They aren't that much bigger! I wish they were a bit wider so I could use them my preferred way (folding for maximum absorbency in front and using a snappi) for a long time before he outgrows them. My son fits that way for now, but looking at the fit, it's obvious that he will probably outgrow these soon too. I suppose using these will tie me down to using the PUL covers all the time, or maybe I could get a prefold belt. Either way, it's not what I prefer.
Aside from the size issues, they're alright. I like that they're organic (that, bein 4-8-4 ply, and the fact that I could order these from Amazon were the big selling points for me). They're easy to launder. They aren't too rough. Absorbency is fine. Naturally they aren't as absorbent as disposables, but I prefer changing diapers regularly anyhow for sanitary reasons. One cool thing about these is that doeble-diapering an infant size within a baby size and folding the excess length over works nicely. It's also nice that you can repurpose prefolds as a variety of things: burb cloths, changing pads, something to soak up leaking breast milk, doublers, and something to place under a baby when practicing elimination communication. What upsets me is that no where on Amazon.com or Bummis website could you find the actual dimensions of the prefolds. I was stupid to believe the indicated weight range they list. Fool me once, shame on them, but the second time I should have known better. I wish I would have ordered from Green Mountain Diapers instead (they list their dimensions and seem to have a good reputation). Now I'll have to, but I wound up wasting time and money this way.
