I have a 2 yr old son who is a serious heavy wetter so I end up having to add inserts to all of his diapers. The freetimes are easy to use...until the poop gets all over them...yuck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-is-your-favourite-bumgenius-cloth-diaper#post-1800336 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 06:13:26 +0000 bisous 1800336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Glitter: Sure! It's really because of poopy diapers. When LO still had breastmilk poop, Freetimes were fine (although still took longer to dry). Now that I am turning diapers upside down over the toilet when she goes #2, I don't want to deal with the flaps on the Freetimes!! Too much to worry about in terms of where the mess goes--haha and with 4.0s, I feel like there is less chance that my hands will actually be coming in contact with the mess. :happy:</p> <p>Eta: JUST saw @skipra's post! Same idea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-is-your-favourite-bumgenius-cloth-diaper#post-1800310 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 04:27:54 +0000 skipra 1800310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Glitter: it is so much easier if the poop is nasty...like when starting to feed something other than breastmilk or if there's diarrhea or something. Those flaps on the freetimes can make cleaning a messy and nasty task! But, I do prefer the Freetimes when ebf. Right now we have ours divided so that W uses only the 4.0s and G uses the Freetimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-is-your-favourite-bumgenius-cloth-diaper#post-1800269 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 23:18:32 +0000 Glitter 1800269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skipra: why? is it easier to clean poop off pocket diapers? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-is-your-favourite-bumgenius-cloth-diaper#post-1800223 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 21:41:17 +0000 Ash 1800223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Glitter: I have a little guy who's 8 months old. They're fine during the day but not enough at night. And yes, it will probably get heavier the more bm/formula he starts taking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-is-your-favourite-bumgenius-cloth-diaper#post-1800219 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 21:37:25 +0000 Glitter 1800219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: @Ash: do you have a son or daughter? and how old? DS is 3 months and takes foreverrrr to soak his freetimes. I just change them when I feel he's had them on long enough. Should I expect his wetting to get much heavier as he gets older? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-is-your-favourite-bumgenius-cloth-diaper#post-1800218 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 21:36:07 +0000 skipra 1800218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never used Elementals but I prefer 4.0 over Freetimes. Especially when they are older or have nasty poop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-is-your-favourite-bumgenius-cloth-diaper#post-1800217 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 21:34:28 +0000 Ash 1800217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4.0s!

They clean and dry so much faster because the inserts are separate from the pocket. I also like how I can double stuff them overnight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-is-your-favourite-bumgenius-cloth-diaper#post-1800115 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 20:12:27 +0000 Glitter 1800115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bisous: I don't understand.

I have a couple free times but find the 4.0s easier at this age (LO is 14<br /> mos) in terms of cleaning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-is-your-favourite-bumgenius-cloth-diaper#post-1800087 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 19:57:10 +0000 autumnlove 1800087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Elementals!

So easy, and they dry overnight in our house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-is-your-favourite-bumgenius-cloth-diaper#post-1800083 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 19:53:05 +0000 Mae 1800083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Glitter: They come with 2 inserts but because she's little I only use one (never had a leak) and it is a lot less bulky than the BG Freetimes so I feel like it fits her a lot better right now. Also the inner material seems to wick away the moisture better than whatever the inserts are made of (the inserts are the same material as the BG Freetimes flap-y things) so she rarely cries when wet in them. They do not seem to be made as well as the BGs... but they ARE cheaper and they work better for us for now so I like them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-is-your-favourite-bumgenius-cloth-diaper#post-1800079 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 19:49:07 +0000 Glitter 1800079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: Why do you prefer the Alvas? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-is-your-favourite-bumgenius-cloth-diaper#post-1800075 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 19:47:24 +0000 mrsrain 1800075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have used the elementals as a nanny, and they just take way too long to dry. As a mom I got the free-times and I love them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-is-your-favourite-bumgenius-cloth-diaper#post-1800067 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 19:40:38 +0000 Mae 1800067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only have free times (of bg) and I like them. I actually like my alva pocket diapers more-- surprisingly considering they were a lot cheaper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-is-your-favourite-bumgenius-cloth-diaper#post-1800059 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 19:35:31 +0000 Boheme 1800059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4.0s and Freetimes. I'm not a huge fan of Elementals - they take soooooo long to dry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-is-your-favourite-bumgenius-cloth-diaper#post-1800058 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 19:33:11 +0000 Glitter 1800058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only have Freetime in my stash and love them. I need to purchase some more but have been reading good things about 4.0 and Elemental also! Which is your favourite and why? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-kind-of-bumgenius#post-305544 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 14:59:14 +0000 littlebug 305544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We debated between then 4.0s and the Freetime, and decided on the Freetime because our families are already totally weirded out by the idea of cloth diapers. We figured using an AIO would be easiest on them (and on us, 2 full-time working parents). We also thought daycare might like us a bit more if they didn't have to stuff and/or separate diapers and liners. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-kind-of-bumgenius#post-305534 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 14:54:31 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 305534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's a personal preference thing. We really love our Elementals, but I have a couple pocket diapers and I have to say you just need to figure out what is less annoying to you: stuffing pockets, or having to spray more when it comes to solid poops. (I personally would choose the latter any day, which is why we have AIOs). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-kind-of-bumgenius#post-305464 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 14:18:16 +0000 loveisstrange 305464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love, love, love my 4.0s. We have 25 of them. :) The crotch is fairly wide, so stuffing is a breeze. It takes me like 5 minutes while sitting watching TV. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-kind-of-bumgenius#post-305454 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 14:13:02 +0000 cvbee 305454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only have 4.0 and they are excellent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-kind-of-bumgenius#post-305335 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 13:15:44 +0000 T.H.O.U. 305335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tororojo: It looks like they are currently running a sale: </p> <p>CVRLUV - Free cover with $29 purchase</p> <p> Remember you can add even more cloth diapers to your stash by pairing the Buy 5, Get 1 deal with our FREE bumGenius 4.0 in Bubble or Sweet offer.

Like you said, we use an extra hemp liner for over night. Personally, I love them. I think they're very easy peasy and make cloth diapers as easy as they can be. They go from the dryer to the diaper basket, no stuffing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-kind-of-bumgenius#post-305223 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 12:35:44 +0000 tororojo 305223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Thehistoryofus: If such a code exists, I NEED IT!!!
