This post is part of myIntro to Cloth Diapers Series! Each week I will be adding a new video detailing an aspect of cloth diapers that a “newbie” would have questions about. This week the video is dedicated to Elastic One Size Diapers.
I am concluding my newborn cloth diaper reviews today with this video of many of the one size diapers I used on my baby Everett. Some of the diapers shown in the video aren’t in the chart, but the most requested diapers made it to the chart. If anyone has any questions please ask in the comments and I will answer. I like to remind everyone that every baby is different. My first son didn’t fit his BG 3.0 until over 10 pounds, but this guy fit at 9.5 pounds.
I have reviewed each of these diapers in more detail, though at the time I had not used them on an newborn. To see each diaper’s individual review you can click the links.
Instead of the usual video review, I am taking a week off. I only have 3 diapers I am reviewing and need an extra week before I am ready to publish.
So….. since many YouTube commenters and blog readers alike have asked, I took a short video to show my most used diapers. We are definitely a pocket family. I still have my original bumGenius! 3.0′s that I bought while pregnant. Those make up a large percentage of what I use daily. They are also great for my husband who gets tired of using a different diaper each change. That is my job!
So if you didn’t see this already on Facebook, take a look! Expect a video on how I do my cloth wipes in the future as well.
This review has been a long time coming. For some reason I kept pushing it back. I have been reviewing this diaper since mid September, so I have used it for a very long time!
Ease of Use ✰✰✰✰ Putting a Rocky Mountain OS diaper on a baby is very simple. There are 4 snaps to affix, 2 on each tab. You don’t have to fiddle with hit snaps versus waist snaps. The leg elastic adjustment was hard for me at first. I struggled to find the snaps buried within the casing. The trick is to pull the fabric down from the outside while pulling the elastic upwards. I do think changing the size of the elastic is easier for smaller hands. I imagined my husband’s hands working on pulling the elastic out and I think he would have some trouble.
Bang for the Buck✰✰✰✰ The price point is 18.95, right on target for a one size with these features. The Fuzzibunz is the same price. Most stores are selling this diaper with an insert now, but when I first started reviewing them they were not. I think they must have realized their price reflected a diaper with an insert. As I understand it the insert is the one I used in the video, a long one size microfiber insert. I like the sizing of this, and think the price is well worth it!
Performance ✰✰✰✰✰ Never a leak in the RMOS. I have used more stuffing for the overnights because the insert that came with it seemed thin. I added a Bum Genius microfiber doubler and between the two it has held up.
Fit ✰✰✰✰✰ I have gotten a great fit! The legs fit my son beautifully thanks to the elastic sizing, and the snaps are placed close enough to always get a good leak free fit there as well. There haven’t been many red marks, and if any they were on the back, not the legs.
Overall- The fact that this diaper has most of the features I look for makes me wonder why I don’t think about it more often when talking about one size diapers. Maybe because the brand name isn’t as present on the internet… I don’t know. I had a very pleasant experience testing this diaper and I reach for it often. The suedecloth releases poop easily when it is shakeable, a nice feature! I love the fact that the inner suedecloth lining is a coordinating color to the PUL. Even though I don’t normally go for the pastels, these always catch my eye.
I was not paid for this review however the diaper sent was kept.
