One of the benefits of our family owning Nurtured Family is that I get to try a lot of different diapers. My favorites are currently FuzziBunz One Size and Blueberry Minky. Blueberry Minky diapers are top of the line due to the high quality components used for the diapers. They cost more, but they’re adorable and they hold up well. As far as a practical, smart design, FuzziBunz One Size stands apart in my mind.
My dear friend Erin called recently and laid out her plan for her new diaper purchases. Her baby girl was turning one, and she’d come to a point where she didn’t like feeling the wetness of prefolds. Erin planned on buying some FuzziBunz One Size diapers, but mainly she was leaning toward sized diapers. I encouraged her to hold off on buying any sized ones, and rather to try out a couple of the FuzziBunz One Size. She was hesitant. She’d tried lots of one size diapers in the past, and didn’t like how they fit or how it was harder to stuff them with inserts due to how they bunched up in the front with snap downs. I realized that she didn’t know how FuzziBunz One Size diapers were constructed differently. Even though she’d seen pictures of them online, she didn’t take a close enough look because she assumed they were like the others. We decided that I needed to blog about how they’re unique, in case others misunderstand as well!
So, here’s the deal. You know how children’s clothes often have adjustable waistbands with button holes in the elastic? Rather than adjusting by snapping down, FuzziBunz One Size diapers take advantage of the adjustable button/elastic system around the legs and at the waist. Due to this, there is greater adjustability than other diapers. In fact, there are 10 settings for the rise (rather than 3, like most one size diapers) and 4 settings for the waist (rather than no adjustability, like most one size diapers).
The most brilliant part of the FuzziBunz One Size diapers, to me, is that the elastic is not only so adjustable – but easily removed and replaced when it wears down! I find that the two things to wear out the fastest for cloth diapers are Velcro (which I tend to avoid in general) and elastic. Since FuzziBunz only comes in snap version – no Velcro – and the elastic is replaceable, they will last and last! So, if you’re looking for a diaper with a smart design that will last longer than others, FuzziBunz One Size is definitely worth checking into.
At this point, you may be wondering what Erin thought. Here it is straight from her:
“I wanted to switch to FB because Stella was too squirmy for the fitted and cover combo. I needed something fast – that works! And honestly, I think I was a FB snob because it is the “it” diaper. I knew there had to be some underground or less popular cloth diapers that needed our love too. Right?!? However, I have to say that our new OS FB are the best in fit and function! They work ALL night without leaking and the fit is super! No bunching. No awkward fit. Nada. Not to mention how fast they dry compared to the fitteds we were using that would take multiple cycles to dry. I am won over. And yes, I repent for being a cloth diaper snob.”
