BumGenius One-Size

Cloth diaper fans overwhelmingly select the BumGenius One-Size cloth diaper as their preferred choice. These cloth diapers feature a patent-pending three-by-three snap system to adjust the size of the diaper to fit babies between 8 and 35 pounds. A pouch accommodates inserts to absorb wetness; the newborn insert can be used alone to reduce bulkiness for new babies, and later it can be added to the standard liner for extra leak protection. Even though the price seems high at $18 each, the adjustable size makes it possible to use the same diapers longer and purchase fewer diapers overall. The Velcro closures ensure a snug fit, as opposed to the snap closures found in other brands, such as FuzziBunz cloth diapers (*Est. $18 each). Some reviewers, however, note that the Velcro tabs wear out over time.

No cloth diaper brands are included in the diaper roundup by ConsumerReports.org, although two comparison reviews from Cookie magazine and Parenting.com focus on cloth diapers.
