Fitted Cloth Diapers: Bambino Mio Miosoft Trial Pack

Bambino Mio Miosoft Trial Pack - Large Print

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Okay so I am somewhat of a connoisseur of diapers since I run a diaper lending service and try to personally try out every single brand of diaper and cover that comes through so I can give educated recommendations.So here is what I think of the Bambino Mio - at first I was excited because I liked that it was wipeable inside, had simple, cute, gender neutral designs, and was velcro.I'm pretty much talking about the cover here because the inserts are just plain old DSQ prefolds that you could buy anywhere - good quality but nothing fancy or unusual.Once I got it the first thing that I noticed, before I even used it, was that it seemed to be made out of very thin and papery and cheap laminated plastic - it isn't your standard 1 or 2 mil PUL.When I went to put it on my daughter I noticed a few more things - it isn't very stretchy at all (the different plastic they use is not at all stretchy unlike regular PUL) and it runs pretty small.I got a large because that is what my daughter wears in most diapers but this one was at it's max to fit on her.The rise was pretty low compared to other brands so she hasn't pooped in hers, but if she had a poop that was messy at all I would be concerned about stuff popping up the back.Something else that is working against it - it doesn't have crossover tabs.Not a big deal, but since you can get lots of other covers WITH crossover tabs for the same price, why go without?Makes the dipe much more versatile.The biggest thing I dislike though is that it has no versatility.You can use it with trifolded prefolds (yours or theirs) but since the tabs are long and thin, there is very little coverage on the sides - meaning if you try to use it with a snappi'd prefold or a fitted diaper the diaper sticks out on the hips which is a leak hazard.

So - all in all - it's not a bad product per se, but with so many better options out there in the same price range, why settle?

If you think you'd like the Bambino Mio set because it is a kit - try the Bummis Organic Cotton Diapering Kit: 15+lbs - much better cover and comes with extras.If you are looking for a good quality, cute, reasonably priced cover - try Bummis Super Whisper Wrap Diaper Cover, Medium (15-30lbs), Sage Stars on White or Thirsties Diaper Cover- Butter, Small and you'll be much happier.And if you are looking for "Bambino Mio style" inserts (aka prefold diapers) try any DSQ or Chinese or Indian prefold diapers - my fave are the ones sold by Green Mountain Diapers.
