They never leak (like ever) and our DD's skin seems to do best with microfiber. She never rashes in her Freetimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bumgenius-aio-question#post-978755 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 15:11:16 +0000 heffalump 978755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have them and liked them..... but we've had to use sposies lately because LO keeps getting a rash in them. They worked great for almost 2 years and I strip them, but still rash. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bumgenius-aio-question#post-978639 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 14:37:43 +0000 yin 978639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used Elementals for two years, and they worked well. I'm trying 4.0 for LO2 because the dry time for the Elementals took forever. I also used and abused them, and they're not longer in good shape. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bumgenius-aio-question#post-978555 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 14:16:28 +0000 immabeetoo 978555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've also come to realize I don't really like microfiber. I do like our elemental, but it is the older style I've read the newer ones have exposed PUL. It's hard to say honestly until you try them on your baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bumgenius-aio-question#post-978307 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 13:05:07 +0000 Weagle 978307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We love our Elementals! I've never tried the Freetimes because I don't like microfiber. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bumgenius-aio-question#post-978244 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 12:50:20 +0000 sunshineandsushi 978244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love our Freetimes. Never have any leaks or blowouts in them, unlike with disposables. For our boys, we lay the back flap flat across and fold the front flap in half to increase absorbency in the front. I don't think we could keep up with washing them if we couldn't just throw the whole thing in the washer without unstuffing, then stuffing before using, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bumgenius-aio-question#post-978226 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 12:47:45 +0000 lovehoneybee 978226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I LOVE our Freetimes. We've been battling a yeast infection so he's been in disposables for a week or two and I keep staring longingly at the BG (you CANNOT use most regular diaper rash cream on CDs. It will be a HUGE PITA. Luckily this was the first major rash he's had.)</p> <p>We also have some Elementals, but I don't like them as much. I find they stain easier (although they can be sun-bleached) and take longer to dry. </p> <p>I've only had one blowout with the BG, and it was when he was 3 weeks old and they didn't fit as tightly around the thighs as they needed to.</p> <p>You can also buy separate inserts for them (We have half a dozen...I think they're called Double Dry or something, from the Cotton Babies website), which we use at night since LO is a belly sleeper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bumgenius-aio-question#post-978197 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 12:41:25 +0000 Sunshine710 978197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love the freetimes. Sold other diapers to get more of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bumgenius-aio-question#post-977795 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 10:40:35 +0000 autumnlove 977795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@citymouse: I've played around with the sizing and rise but they just fit really strange on my daughter. Her legs stay really far apart when she wears them and she looks more comfortable in the 4.0s and Elementals. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bumgenius-aio-question#post-977754 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 10:30:53 +0000 citymouse 977754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: what don't you like about them? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bumgenius-aio-question#post-977746 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 10:29:36 +0000 Boheme 977746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@citymouse: The inserts are attached like flaps on both sides, but I'm sure you could place another insert on top if you wanted. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bumgenius-aio-question#post-977744 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 10:29:15 +0000 autumnlove 977744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't like the Freetimes so we save them for daycare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bumgenius-aio-question#post-977735 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 10:27:14 +0000 citymouse 977735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: Can you not adjust the absorbency with the Freetimes with attachable inserts? Or is it just not as much as the 4.0? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bumgenius-aio-question#post-977732 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 10:26:52 +0000 LulaBee 977732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We love our freetimes! Started out with Fuzzi Bunz and a few other types of diapers, sold all of them to get BG freetimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bumgenius-aio-question#post-977716 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 10:23:49 +0000 MrsRoo 977716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took a chance and bought my whole stash of BG free times. We love them! No issues so far with any leaking or blowouts. DH loves them. Everyone who has watched the baby can use them easily and without complaints. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bumgenius-aio-question#post-977675 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 10:09:07 +0000 Boheme 977675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@citymouse: We have a mix of different Bum Genius and I love them all. I love the Freetimes because they are a quicker-drying AIO, I love the Elementals because they're soooo easy, and I love the 4.0s because you can adjust the absorbency in the pockets. We do the two types of AIOs during the day, and pockets at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bumgenius-aio-question#post-977674 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 10:09:03 +0000 littlebittyhouse 977674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't love the freetimes. I much prefer the pockets.</p> <p>If you're interested I am happy to sell you gently used freetimes! I would love to trade them for a few more pocket diaps. They are in great condition, no staining and the elastics are not worn out - we haev only been using them for a few months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bumgenius-aio-question#post-977666 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 10:06:53 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 977666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have BumGenius AIOs and the pockets. We like the pockets better because they dry faster and the AIOs only came in velcro. We vastly prefer the snaps. But the AIOs still work great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bumgenius-aio-question#post-977662 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 10:05:57 +0000 citymouse 977662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: This is what I am hoping for! I *think* these are the best ones for us, but how could we really know until we try? I really would like to avoid buying a couple of each brand to try out and then try to sell/use disposables until we figure it out kind of thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bumgenius-aio-question#post-977657 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 10:02:04 +0000 Boheme 977657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love ours! My husband even loves them. We have never had leakage or a blowout in them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bumgenius-aio-question#post-977640 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 09:53:56 +0000 citymouse 977640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone ever bought these and been disappointed? </p>
