Are you a bum genius?

Posted on March 22, 2011July 28, 2015 by jenny

A while ago I attended a Nappucino to learn more about real nappies. The Borough I live in give vouchers towards the cost of real nappies to encourage people to give them a go. To be honest I have struggled with real nappies but I try to use them whenever I can, especially when we are staying close to home. We were sent two bumGenius V4 from baby kind to try.

 

The bumGenius v4 is a stay-dry, one-size pocket nappy.

 

The good points:

built in waterproof outer cover and inner lining

hook and loop or poppers to fasten

level of absorbency can be customised

stretchy lycra wings to ensure a comfy fit

adjustable size to fit babies from 8-35lb

can be washed at 40°C

 

The bad points:

none!

 

 

I enjoyed using these on Edward as they were so simple. They fitted really well and didn’t make his clothes too tight round the bum. You need to wash them before you use them for the first time but they wash and dry well. I was sent 2 to try but usually change Edward between 4-5 times a day. They recommend you purchase at least 18 nappies so you can do a just nappies wash every couple of days.

The bumGenius compare really well to other brands and I would recommend them. The version 4 mean they keep on improving!

    I do find these really easy to use and wash. They are the best all-in-one nappy I’ve tried.

    Doh, I forgot to mention I’m going to be hosting a reusable nappies bloggers carnival on the 13th of April. Do you mind if I link up to your post? @jumblyMummy
