Subject : Bumgenius pocket or Bambinex Bamboo?

After seeing all the posts lately about reusables on 'Baby' I have decided that I want to give them a go. I went on thenappylady.co.uk and answered some qns and she recommends either Bumgenius pocket nappies or Bambinex Bamboo with onelife wraps. I'm not sure which one to go for so I was wondering if anyone has used them both which did you prefer?
Thanks. x

I've not used either of those exact nappies, but I have used similar to both. The Bumgenius are fast drying and easy to use, and give a slim fit. They aren't hugely absorbant though so you may need to boost them when your lo gets bigger. Just realised I HAVE used one of the Bambinex ones when Barney was little, they are lovely nappies, very absorbant, but they are bulkier than the BG and take aaagggggeeees to dry. Personally I would go for the Bumgenius, we use pocket nappies and I love them.

On a different note, I am hoping your carrier will be in the post tomorrow, but at the latest it will be Monday. I am so sorry it's been so long but being ill wiped me out completely for the best part of 2 weeks.

hi as jellyfishpink said, i've been using bumgenius for nearly 5 months now and there fab. Pippa isn't a particullaly heavy wetter and we just use the bg with the big insert and that last a good 3-4 hours, it may last longer but i wouldn't leave her in a nappy for longer. My dh loves them as there just like a disposable to put on, and they dry overnight (he won't let me have a tumbler) can't recomend them enough, i think there a really good intro to cloth nappies, but that's when the fun starts

I like the Bumgenuis been using them on my nearly 3 week old for a week now, coz of runny poo it does go through the nappy liner but I just soak then in napisan and then at 40, come up really clean. They are a bit bulkier than disposables but will keep using them. Savings will count in the long term. My little man was 7lb and I use the extra small bit.
