When I first started using cloth diapers, we were an AIO (All in One) household, all the way. We LOVED them. And I still do love them, at least somewhat.
They have two fatal flaws, however. First, they take forty forevers to dry. Boo hiss to that because I need to hurry up and get them back on Darah’s bottom! Second, in my experience, AIO diapers are the ones that stink the most. I mean that literally. I don’t know why, but my AIOs have to be stripped far more often than my pocket diapers. Has anyone else found that to be true?
So now I use more pocket diapers than AIO diapers. But I miss not having to stuff, and more importantly, not having to touch soiled inserts.
Bummis
Today I am bringing you a diaper that strikes a beautiful balance between the convenience of AIOs and the quick drying of pocket diapers. Check out the Bummis Easy Fit. I heart it in a major way. I made a video (while Darah was napping, sorry if it seems rushed and amateurish…because it was and it is!). Check it out to learn exactly what makes the Bummis so unique and so crush-worthy (is it weird to have a crush on a cloth diaper?…). Oh, and just ignore the fact that my floor is so dirty that the diaper is picking up bits of leaves…oops.
So yes, that semi-attached insert is a fantastic feature. If I were building a diaper stash right now, I’d want at least 3 of these bad boys. That’s a note to self for baby #2!
Buy it!: I was thrilled to see Bummis diapers for sale at my local Whole Foods, and you can also find them on Amazon. The price seems to be right around $23.95, which seems fair to me for the quality (bamboo) and the convenience.
