Are bumgenius really that good?

[Peach*]

Have been looking at all in ones and they seem to be one of the most expensive of the bunch. Obviously I understand you pay for quality but even beehinds which Ive ordered and have heard good things about are much cheaper, so just wondering are Bumgenius all they cracked up to be??

I have tried alot of nappies but never the BumG's even though they were in my top 2 choices when starting out.

I will be interested in others responces also as 14 months on I have so many favs that are so much cheaper so I haven't bothered.

I love my Bumgenius. They did retail for $28 at one stage, then because they are imported from the US - and the exchange rate went up $hit creek - it became really really expensive to import them when you took that into account, plus the postage from the states on nappies is just outrageous!!!!

They are good nappies though. Have a reputation for the elastic wearing and breaking earlier than other brands, but even that is easily fixed by someone in the know - I haven't seen many complaints about them in any other way.

Hmmm, so really its not because they are super amazing that they cost more then? Interesting. Thanks for the replies girls.

I was explaining why the beehinds ones are cheaper - cos they are australian owned (even though not australian made) but the distributor doesn't wear the cost of importing them - which then everyone has to wear.

I love our Bum G OSFA they were really absorbent & we had no leaks with them

hate em! The elastic is **** and goes a lot more than other brands, Ash got horrid nappy rash for the inners, I HATE microfibre and hated touching the stuff, the velcro tabs wore out quickly and I didn't find them very good size wise (they fit Ash from a NB but they didn't fit my 2 year old nephew).

I think there are MUCH better options out there.

Genesa Forge (our favourites!)
Wild Child
Whizz Kidz
Itti Bitti
Baby Beehinds (there fitteds and minky magicalls are awesome)
Bizy Bee
Flattery
Bits For Bots
Beetlebums
Cherubs Kiss
Bubblebubs

So yeah, I'd say go something else

I hate them!!! they take up to 3 days to dry and I live in Qld.

My Bum G pockets dry really quickly even in winter!! The shells dry in hours and the inserts in a day. I don't find them much more exp than others- a few dollars more but I do think that better PUL etc and velcro is used. They fare quite a bit better than others that I bought at the same time for not much less ie Cushie Tushies, GreenKids, Happy Heinys, Hautes etc

I would have to say that they are my most fav nappy and well worth the $$'s. They really keep Bella dry and fit great around her chubby thighs. I was quite apprehensive about the cost of them at first, then I got some on sale at the baby expo.

We love our BumGs but like Arimeh said the leg elastic has come away on 2 of my 10? But easy to use ...just s hame they went up so much!
