As much as I love prefolds and covers, Pocket Style Cloth Diapers are by far my favorite. At the top of my list is the bumGenius 3.0 One-Size Cloth Diaper.

So why do I like bumGenius 3.0 so much? First of all, the craftsmanship is top-notch. From the first feel you can see that these Cloth Diapers are made from the finest of materials. Also, as you examine the bumGenius 3.0, you will see that the utmost in care has been made during the construction. The available colors are beautiful and four new vivid colors were recently added.

So aside from aesthetics, why are bumGenius 3.0 One-Size Diapers so great? Well they are one-size to begin with. They will fit from approximately 8 lbs to 35 lbs. There are 3 rows of snaps on the front that allow the rise to be adjusted to fit a wide variety of babies and toddlers. Do you have two children in diapers? This feature allows you to use the same cloth diapers with both children even if they vary widely in size.

Since the bumGenius 3.0 cloth diapers are a pocket style diaper, they can be stuffed with any number and variety of inserts. If you are using the diaper during the day, your child may only need a single insert. However for naps or even overnight more absorbency can be added.

In fact, I have used the bumGenius One-size for over two years as a night time diaper and I think they rock. As my baby has grown, her absorbency needs have changed. As a small infant, a single Cotton Babies one-size microfiber insert was more than enough, but as she neared 6 months more absorbency was needed to counteract longer stretches of sleep. Therefore, I would wrap the one-size insert in an infant prefold cloth diaper to up the absorbency.

I only have one issue with the bumGenius 3.0 one-size cloth diapers… the aplix (hook and loop fastener). Some people love aplix for its ease of adjustment and for this I think it is great. However, I think aplix looks worn way too fast. It tends to get pilly and frayed over time. Remembering to attach it to the laundry tabs helps keep it looking newer longer, but doesn’t prevent the worn look entirely. However this is just aesthetics and doesn’t affect the function of the diapers by any means. The fact remains, though, that aplix is very easy to use and has practically infinite adjustability. Even so, I am actually looking forward to trying the new snap bumGenius 3.0 AIO, which I will review at a later date.

Overall, I love bumGenius 3.0 One-Size Cloth Diapers. Aside from the aplix, they hold up well and dry quickly. If you are looking to try a one-size pocket style cloth diaper, I recommend starting with the bumGenius 3.0. I don’t think you will be dissapointed.
