Bumgenius 4.0 review

Bumgenius is by far our favorite diapers. They aren't the only ones that we own but we have more than any other brand now.


 The diaper looks like any other diaper. It's your standard pocket diaper. I really like the tab design (the red things with the buttons) on Bumgenius. It has a few less snaps than our other dipes but fits the same if not better. They're super stretchy and hold really well.


As you can see, we chose to invest in snapes. B can take off the aplix (hook n loop, velcro, ect.) and it tends to wear out quicker. The top rows of snapa you see are for waist and hip fit. The top row ensures your baby doesn't leak out of the top while the bottom row makes sure the legs are nice and snug. There are three more rows of snapes that are used for your rise. When baby is younger and weighs less you'll have rhose snapped so the diaper doesnt swallow baby. The snap design is pretty standard for all one size snap diapers.



The inside of the Bumgenius diapers is suedecloth. Its nice, soft, and seems to hold up well.



I love the design of the pocket on these diapers. They have a small piece of fabric on the inside to hold the diaper down and a large piece of fabric on the outside to make sure the insert is 100% covered.



The inserts have a snap down feature. I'm obsessed with this. We found out early on that B's inserts all had to be folded down or he leaks. I love that these have the snaps to hold the insert down. Overall they are my favorite inserts.



Stuffing the pocket is super easy. It takes a good half of your arm going in the diaper but it gets done. Bumgenius also offers freetimes and the organic elemental. These are there AIO (all in one) options for people who don't love pockets. 



Very few of Bumgenius diapers have prints. These are called the artist series. We have two of these one being shown. When Bumgenius does prints they do it right. I love the nautical Jules print. It's counter diaper is called Carroll. You guessed it, its a Lewis Carroll inspired Alice in Wonderland diaper. Gorgeous diaper. Bumgenius has a little over 20 colors. Some are discontinued such as the coveted Easter diapers but they're still avaliable in swap groups you'll just pay more. 

Another great thing about these dipes is the resell price. You pay around $18 for these brand new and they sell for around $16 used. I've snagged them for as low as $7 but had to do a little elastic repair. If you buy these you'll get almost all of your money back if not more for the printed diapers.

I've fallen in love with this brand. I have tried the freetimes and flips but both run a bit larger on B and I'm not crazy about that.  I love that these are American made and super durable. They are the only diaper that doesn't leak in the carseat. We've had great success with these and I plan on continuing to buy these until we snag our rainbow. I fully believe these are worth every penny and recommend them to anyone looking to try cloth.
