Cloth by Tel Diapers

As in prior posts I mentioned I am new to cloth diapers. That being said I bought most of my diapers from Cloth by Tel. Her website is HERE I love all the colors and the prints that are offered. She also sells leg warmers and some other accessories.

When I received my package, the diapers were extremely soft and lovely colors.I ordered 27 diapers so I received the free shipping on my order. I ordered 5 red, 5 orange, 5 brown, 5 blue with stars, 5 camo, and 2 brown camo minky.

On the positive side, I really love the colors and prints as I said before. She has good customer service which is nice since I live in Nebraska and she is in Canada. The diapers do a good job of keeping the poop in. The only time we have had an issue is when my two year old took his own diaper off. I can use these for approximately 2-3 hours before they need changed. At night time I just double the insert and have not had an more of an issue than I have had with disposables.

Cons: would be I do wish they worked alittle better absorbency wise. I have other diapers that I prefer if I am going out of the house just for this reason. The second con would be the snaps. I love the idea of snaps but some of the snaps don't seem to hold well especially in the rise sizings. I do have a wing droop issue also. Which hasn't cause any problem just looks funny. Lastly, I don't believe these would fit really well before 15lbs even though they are suppose to go from 8lbs and up.

Overall, These are an excellent diaper. The price really can't be beat and once you learn their limits(the diapers) then there shouldn't be much of a problem. I would and I have recommended these diapers to friends and family. It is a affordable way to start cloth diapering and couldn't be much easier.

Bumgenius Review

Just like in the last post, this is a diaper that I won. It is one of the brand new 4.0 One Size in Ribbit (springy green) color. I like the color. I also like that the snaps hold really well and that I have never had a leak and with the doubler it makes an excellent night time diaper.

That being said. I am not a huge fan of the washing issues I have had. I have a hard time getting it to smell clean when all the other diapers do. I also don't like how hard it is to get the insert in the right spot so that my little guy that is 5 months old doesn't have a "front Butt".

Overall  it is a very good diaper for what it is made for. Will I be buying more? Probably not. Even though it works great I just can't stand the issues that I have had with it. It is one of the last diapers that I use even though I love the color. I think it will work a little better once he gets bigger. So if my opinion changes I will give you an update.
