So Easy
This nappy is great for the transition from disposables to cloth! SO easy to use, lovely colours and very absorbant!

Lovely nappy
Having tried several types, this is the one I use the most. It is simple to use and adapt to suit whether your baby is a heavy wetter or not. It's a great fit and doesn't look too chunky.

Wish I had tired them sooner
I've never used reusable nappies before and have been seriously thinking about it for a while, my little darling is 8 months old and I ordered a few BG's to see if they worked and how I would feel using reusables. Both me and my hubby are well impressed, because we only bought a few we've used them only a couple of times but have had no leeks. They are great to use, although you do need to change your mind set: don't throw them in the bin!! and of course be mindful of how you treat them i.e washing correctly close taps don't use too much detergent etc but to be honest I find this no bother. The few I've bought have washed and dried well and i'm going to buy the starter kit!! I wish I bought these nappies sooner but I'll keep them for our next little bundle :-)))

Love them, very practical...
I really like these nappies because I can pre stuff them and they are as easy to use as disposables. I used them from when my daughter was 1 week old and they didn't seem bulky at all. Mind you, she was 3710g at birth and over 5kg at 4 weeks!
My daughter wees a lot so the newborn insert wasn't really enough for her. I now have a system of using either two newborn inserts or one normal insert and that is fine - no leakages. I bought the nappy plus kit and am washing daily at the moment but we have got a lot of changes because I'm still on antibiotics which makes her poo a lot. Amazing how quickly the nappies dry indoors as well.

Really worth buying
Hi. We got the starter kit from 'fill your pants' and went for the BumGenius One-Size. We were the first amongst our friends to do so, so didn't have anyone to personally recommend them, so weren't sure what to expect. We have been really pleased with them. We didn't start using them until our baby reached 10lbs as she seemed a bit small for them, and the idea of having to wash nappies in the early days of having a baby didn't appeal. However, we have been using them ever since and find they leak less than disposable nappies (in the last 5 months they have leaked a total of 5 times- not bad). They are easy to wash, and its not much hassle at all. I do a wash every other day, popping them into the washing machine at night and hanging them out in the morning. Recently, we purchased some disposable nappies as we were going away for the weekend and weren't sure if there would be a washing machine where we were going. We couldn't believe how expensive disposable nappies are. Its really worth going for.

GREAT VALUE
I have tried the version 2, but this is much better. The colours are brighter, the tabs better and it dries really quick. Great for those of us without driers. A brilliant night nappy. Even when the inserts are soaked, baby still stays dry.

Brilliant!
I've got a few different nappies now but these are the ones I reach for first every time. Completely leak proof (so far) with my 3 month old, even overnight, pretty trim, and gorgeous colours. I've only deducted one point because the Zinnia colour runs!

Very Good Value for Money
Considering the amount of money you spend on nappies in your babies first few years we considered buying and hence opted for the bumgenius reusable nappies, which have indeed been the best buy (along with a rocking swing) we have bought. We began using them when our daughter was 2 months old (they are slightly too big to use on a younger baby as they are quite bulky to begin with and the fit depends on the weight of your child) and have now got ourselves into a lovely routine where by they are washed every night after use so that we never fall short (highly recommended) We have chosen to use them purely for at home use at the moment as it is more practical to throw away a disposable while you are out. But unless you lead a very busy lifestyle and are always out then they are clearly a much better option. The nappies hold ALOT and therefore can go longer without a nappy change. There is not that constant worry that the nappy has leaked! The extra insert comes in especially handy at nighttime as the nappy can last for atleast 10 hours in the night without a change, and due to the incredible and vast colour selections available, you can have a set colour always prepared as night time nappies, so you don't have to faff around filling themwith the extra insert. If all nappies are prepared when the washing and drying is done then it is also alot easier when it comes to putting them on.A handy nappy bucket avoids all those horrible nappy smells lurking around the house. The downsides to these nappies are that they are quite bulky to use at the beginging so are no good for newborns and therefore there is a wait to use them (saying that...who wants to mess around with reuseable nappies when just given birth-once your recovered and in a routine the nappies fit snuggly into the routine also). I have noticed that if the nappies are very full then the lable itself will become wet as this is the first thing to show signs the nappy is about to leak. Finally it may be an expensive outlay but it is deinetly worth while, cleverly designed reusable nappy!!

Easy for everyone to use
These nappies are easy for all the family to use, in particular the hubby o) They look good on and are great because they grow with your child. Some people do look at you a bit weird when you say you are using reusable nappies but I know they are easy and a lot better for the environment.

changed my style
i was dubious as to whether i should switch to cotton nappies or not. i bought this nappy as a trial and it was fantastic!! lasted longer on my daughter! doesnt leak!! whoppie!!! dries in seconds, easy to use... im now on the road to becoming a nappy guru ha ha! though it does look bulky on my four month old baby hence i gave it a four rating not a five. :)

Very practical nappy
I bought one of these in Zinnia because I was very happy with the BumGenius all-in-ones that I had, but needed another quicker-drying nappy.
I love how this nappy is so straightforward to use, and I do like the brighter colour. Stuffing it is not difficult, and it is very trim on. It washes well, hasn't stained and dries overnight - the outside on the airer and the insert in the airing cupboard. It also doesn't take a lot of space in a changing bag. The only slight niggle I have with it is that the pink dye has slightly transferred onto the laundry tabs of the nappy, though it has never run onto any other nappies in the wash with it.
I find the fit marginally better than that of the all-in-one, though this could be due to my daughter nearing the top end of the all-in-one size.

Ordered one of these to see what i thought before commiting to the nappy kit- very impressed at design and ease of washing/drying. will now be ordering more. Love the funky colours as well!

BumGenius are brill!
BumGenius are great nappies and is my favourite of all my one size nappies. Fits good, only ever had one leak, contained newborn poo well, easy to use etc. The only thing I would say is that they were pretty bulky on a newborn, wish they went a bit smaller.

Fabulous
This nappy is fabulous, we had been using the all in one version until we where given one of these to test. With the pocket bit I can add extra stuffing to deal with my daughters night time pee deluge, yet it still has a slim fitting between the legs. Easy to adapt the size as the child grows. I love the bumgenius range and have never had any problems or leaks despite some spectacular poo explosions! Highly recommended. If these were given out in the Bounty packs more mums would choose to use washables!
