Great review! My love for these has been boosted just yesterday when we left the DC’s with DH’s grandmother and she managed to change Naomi’s dirty nappy without any problem whatsoever - possibly the closest to the ease of a disposable you can get!

I see,

thanks Laura. So the likes of Fairy would do just fine? The only problem is how much to use it is VERY “bubbly”:) A teaspoon should be more than I enough.

THanks

Hi Gloria,

Well the Dawn is just a dish soap, and the concept behind this is that the dishsoap binds to the oily substances that have built up on the nappies and rinses them away. You can take a look here for more info on ’stripping’ your inserts http://www.fill-your-pants.com/pdf/bumgenius

Hope that helps!

Hi there,

I am having problems with the ammonia smell coming out of the boosters.
The instructions (form the US) say to wash them using Dawn detergent which is not available in the UK. Any suggestions or alternative methods?

Thanks

Love these so much! I bought them for my 3 month old but tried one on my tall and slim nearly three year old the other day and they fit well! I really hope these will last us all the way through to potty training!

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!

Hi Leah,

Hmm that does sound quite unusual. What temp are you washing them at, and if you are tumble drying are you making sure you only use a medium or low heat?

The bumgenius are guaranteed for 6 months from purchase, which includes covers, linings and closures for properly cared for products.

The bumgenius do usually wash very well, if you are concerned you can find more info about the product and guarantees here http://www.bgnappies.com/customer.html

I’ve bought a whole set of BG’s (18), I’ve been using them for 6 months and yes they are great (apart from at night at the moment for some reason?) but they are starting to look very scruffy already! Threads coming off, velcro strip starting to come undone - is this normal? I’m so sad because they are gorgeous.
