We were generously gifted a large set of Bum Genius Diapers for Vivi's birth and though I was a bit hesitant as we waited for them, I'm truly a committed fan now.
I feared the poop, the laundry, the diaper pail, the leaking. I thought cloth diapers would be an alien world to a mom who raised three kids in disposables. Nevertheless, poop is poop. It stinks and I want it off my kids' skin and out of the house fast no matter where it lands and I've come to realize that the whole process feels less toxic when there's actual cotton and not plastic questionableness involved.
The dirty business is the same, but the stink stays in the diaper pail (which washes easily) and I've had far less leaks on both our big guy and our baby girl while wearing Bum Genius diapers than when we've used disposables. And even the poop messes pay off well when we're saving lots of money every day, saving loads of trash from the earth, and snuggling our kiddos in cotton instead of whatever that absorbo-junk is in the disposables.

Now, to be clear, I am absolutely stress-free about using these cloth diapers because we still do use disposables when needed (sorry, environment). If I'm behind on laundry, if we're going out, or if all four of our kids are needing me and I just don't want to scrub out anything- then I don't. EASY as that.
Another huge perk is that I love this company. I love Cotton Babies. Not only is the super quality Bum Genius line their own product (they also sell a huge range of cool baby items), but the company has several programs to assist families which I really admire and appreciate. I know that Cotton Babies seriously works to help families and not simply to cut throat like so many profit-gluttons in the business world.
So finally... (thanks for making it this far!) Here's the Challenge:
If you or a friend are having a baby soon, why not consider registering for Bum Genius diapers at Cottonbabies.com? It's the best invested gift money ever. Go ahead and start baby's savings account with all the disposable diaper funds you've saved, Your sweet kiddo will have well over $onek in savings before they're potty trained even if no other money is set aside but this!
And yes, this "challenge" would work with other cloth diapers from other companies, but I've already spelled out my dozen reasons for liking this brand, this company and I'm sticking to my pick.
Who could ignore a challenge presented with such ADORABLE photos! Oooohhh I just want to snuggle that boy. Since I started buying disposables at crazy good prices with Maelee, I have a closet full to the brim (and so glad to be using them up now)... but I hope to try one of these well-indorsed systems eventually. Agreed - it would be a most excellent baby gift to get someone started on it!
ReplyDeleteseriously LOVE bumgenius, though we are out of them for a season as I have all potty trained kids for the first time in 5 1/2 years :)
ReplyDeleteI also got the grant and cannot believe how generous Cotton Babies is and how grateful I was for the many zillions of disposable diapers I did not buy.
will definitely embrace your 'challenge' and tell those I know that are expecting!
