 A great way to start with cloth Jul 24, 2008
By Jennifer Peacock
I had never even seen a baby in cloth diapers before, but I wanted to start, so I ordered this kit. It has 36 unbleached prefolds, 6 diaper covers, 2 rolls of flushable liners, and an instruction book. The book is great - shows you step by step what you need to do to wash, use, and store the dirty diapers. You have to wash the prefold diapers 3 times before using - they get a lot smaller and softer as they go through the wash and dry cycles. I've been so happy with their absorbancy, ease of use, and cost. Even my husband was pleasantly surprised by how easy the switch was (this is our 3rd child and the first 2 were all disposables). When you think of a pack of diapers costing $20, this kit is pretty cheap. We may "upgrade" to the all-in-one diapers as our newborn gets larger and outgrows the covers(she's only 8 weeks old and 11 lbs.), but for the next couple of months, this is all we need. I would recommend them for anyone thinking of moving to cloth to "go green" and save some money.

Excellent kit Jul 30, 2009
By mommy of boys
"mom of 2"
This is a great kit for those wanting to cloth diaper. I had bought this having no clue what I was looking for and was very pleased. I have used these from the beginning and are well loved. I did find that 36 prefolds is MORE than enough. I wash every 2-3 days and never ran out of prefolds or covers for my baby. I did however, purchase some thirsties covers, so I could have a variety of colors! The prefolds are also unbleached indian prefolds and super soft and fluffy!!
Now that my LO is about to outgrow these, I have been using the prefolds inside the BG and fuzzi bunz diapers as inserts, especially overnight with no added bulkiness. These prefolds have gotten plenty of use and more than paid for themselves!
Also do practice a variety of folds. The fold in the Bummis directions is designed more for a girl with the added absorbancy in the middle. For a boy you want to fold up the front and do an angel wing fold to have more absorbancy in the front. I have noticed when I do the fold in the directions teh diapers are soaked very quickly and when I do teh angel fold they aren't soaked through...so do practice.

Won't go back to disposables, after 4 kids! Sep 29, 2010
By Brett John Werrbach
We recently purchased this system to use on our 4th child. All of the other children were in disposables. I wish that I had found this system eariler. Not only is it saving us money, but it is so easy to use and clean. We decided to wait until our baby was 8 weeks old and we have been using the system for a full week. After just one day I was able to get my speed of diaper changing to almost the same time as with disposables. I have to say we are using less wipes b/c the wicking of the liners captures most of what would be on the baby's bottom and the red diaper rash that all of my children have always had and we just applied diaper cream at every change, isn't there now! So we are using much less diaper cream. I can see how this product would be WAY too bulky to use on a new born, but our baby is now 11 lbs and it works great. This is a great product and it only takes time in the eveing to remember to wash the diapers before bedtime so that you have them for the next day. Since our baby is only 8 weeks, smell is not an issue yet. we'll have to figure that out later. I use the next generation laundry soap that the handbook suggests, found at my local Target store. Also, yes use the amount that they tell you to use in the handbook. I am a clean freak that enjoys everything to smell "clean", but when you wash these diapers correctly, cold short wash - no detergent, then hot regular wash. Then your diapers will come out clean and very absorbant. However if you have an HE washer like I do, then throw in a bath towel or two to "trick" the machine into adding more water, the more water the better in washing these diapers. The only thing that I'll suggest is that you'll need about 2 more diaper covers to go with this system. Enjoy.

No more disposables Oct 22, 2007
By B. R. Bliss
My son has not had a messy leak since we started using these. I put him in disposables one time after buying cloth and the diaper basically exploded as soon as he had a movement. I have only used a disposable once since then and it was for half an hour while his diaper covers were drying.
These are fantastic.

excellent product Sep 04, 2009
By Earth Mother

I purchased this kit for my daughter, who had just given birth to her first baby. She was skeptical at first at the thought of the "old fashioned" cloth diapers, and did not even try them until her infant boy was 3 weeks old. I encouraged her to give them a try, pointing out that I had used cloth diapers for both her and her brother, and just used disposable diapers when out, or traveling. Well, once she tried the Bummis system, including the flushable liners, and found out about the dry diaper pail method, she has become a cotton diaper booster! Baby is 3 months old now. To my surprise, she even uses the cloth diapers & wraps when out doing errands, visiting, etc., and only keeps disposables on hand for long excursions or emergencies. (Such as when the washing machine conked out last month) I overheard her extolling the virtues of cotton diapering to her best friend, who had used nothing but disposables for her first child, who just turned 1 year old. We just received the 15-30 pound kit I ordered. I would recommend the Bummis system to everyone.
