Thinking of trying cloth? Now is a great time!

Thinking of trying cloth? Now is a great time!
Amazon is currently offering Free Super Saver Shipping on bumGenius 3.0 One-Size cloth diapers in Butternut, Blossom and White. $17.95 is a pretty standard price for these diapers and bumGenius sales are hard to come by, so this is a great deal!

For those unfamiliar with bumGenius, this is not your mom's cloth. bumGenius is one of the most trusted names in cloth diapering and their cloth diapers are simple to use and clean. The 3.0 design consists of a waterproof outer layer, velcro closure, suedecloth inner lining, and a pocket for an insert. Extra inserts and doublers can be added to make the diaper more absorbent for heavy wetters or for nighttime use. Best of all, the rise on this diaper is adjustable with snaps, making it a one-size-fits-most option. The weight range of the bumGenius 3.0's is listed as 7-35lbs. In our experience, they start to fit best around 12lbs, but that is still quite a weight range! - Jenn

Oooooh!  Cool!  Thanks!  I’m looking forward to trying these after a recent problem with Pampers.  Has anyone else noticed that they removed that inner-most layer?  The diapers are so rough now - so much for paying for a premium product - cloth, here we come!

This isn’t really a sale.  Amazon has been carrying these a while.  If you only need to buy ONE, then I guess it’s a good deal.  Otherwise, buy three at Diaper.com with a $10 off $50 coupon, and get free shipping. 

Or buy one from Cotton Babies, try it for a couple of weeks, and return if you don’t like it. 

Or, wait for Cotton Babies to have some “seconds” available.  These are diapers that have minor imperfections (those that I ordered had a tag that wasn’t perfectly straight, or a little dirt that came out in the first wash.  Nothing that affects the performance of the diaper itself.) These diapers usually sell for $12/ea and you get free shipping once you hit $75.  Even better, if you haven’t signed up for their email list, do so and you’ll save 5% off your order. 

If you want to try cloth diapering in general, there are sites that will send you a whole box of different kinds of diapers to try out--you pay a deposit and return what you don’t want--the rest is applied to whatever you do order.  Great way to figure out what brands fit your baby best.

Thanks for the heads up about the Diapers.com deal.  Our “stash” consists of a wide variety of diapers and we’ve added one at a time in most cases, so I thought a free shipping deal like this would be good for those with cloth diaper ADD ... like me. :)
