Bumkins - Review & Giveaway (CLOSED)

Trying different cloth diapers has really become something I love doing - finding what really works and which diapers are definitely worth investing in. I was happy to work with Bumkins as I have heard the name before but have never heard a lot about the products they carry.

We received the Bumkins Diaper cover, Contour Diaper (bamboo), and the Fitted Bamboo cloth diaper for review. I really like the Fitted Bamboo diaper a lot, it's super soft, stays in place and fits my daughter just how it should and absorbs wonderfully with the bamboo booster. This diaper fastens with Velcro and has an overlap so you can adjust to fit around your child depending on their size. Of course Bamboo is really becoming quite popular - has good healing properties, very soft, naturally anit-bacterial and anti-allergic and did you know it actually absorbs 60% more than cotton? This diaper requires a waterproof diaper cover and we've been using it with the Bumkins cover, which works for the most part. I have had leaks on occasion with this cover because it seems to need to be a bit wider to really hold in another diaper. I like the light weight of this cover and the air vent in the back (which I've never seen before), the extra leg gussets and all the pretty prints to choose from. The Contour Diaper was not used a whole lot here, even though one-size fits most my daughter was a bit large (22 lbs) for it and it wouldn't stay on correctly even with a Snappi. This diaper did absorb a lot though, and if she was smaller I believe would work fantastic with the sewn in bamboo soaker it will really absorb - I definitely plan on trying this with the new baby soon. A diaper cover is also required with this diaper, but there shouldn't be any leaks with those leg gussets that look great.

Bumkins also carries many other products on their website and are happy to help with any questions you may have if you are interested in purchasing a Bumkins products.
