I got one too and loved it, but then ended up getting a lot of GK's which I loved even more! I like the way the GK elastic back worked a bit better than the flappy bit on the BG's but that is just me!
We use a mix of BumGenius and BBH and are pretty happy with them, just ordered another dozen actually! I like how trim they are under his clothes while the BBH are pretty bulky. After over 2 years of use the elastic is stretched but we got a lot of use out of them! I believe you can now get a kit to replace elastic and velcro tabs too.
I have tried a few different nappies but BG are all that I use now. I really like them, simple and straight forward. I have a heap that DD1 used but she is TT now and I've tried using them on DD2 but the leg elastic has stretched to 2 year old leg size and they leak on my 4kg little one. I don't know if that is a problem with the nappy as such, I'm thinking most elasticated nappies would do a similar thing if you tried to use them on a 4kg baby after a 2 year old? Not sure? Anyway there are tutorials out there on YouTube for replacing the elastics so I'm going to do that The stretched ones are 3.0 version which are a bit trickier to fix, the 4.0 version (which I also have some of) have a change in them to make replacing the elastic easier.
But overall love the BGs and DH happily uses them also.
I found htem pretty good. The velcro gets very sticky though and I had to clean the tabs out a lot. after 3 years of heavy use the pul broke down and the outer parts had to be thrown out.
