Cloth diapering options have never been more plentiful – all-in-ones, prefolds, pockets, covers with Velcro closures,
covers with snaps, inserts, liners – the list goes on and on. My first experience with cloth diapering was more than a dozen years ago and the options were limited to plastic pants with elastic leg openings and pins. Back then I thought it was great when I could coordinate the colored pins with my daughter’s outfit, how things have changed!
When I was expecting my second child I knew I was going to use cloth, but which â€systemâ€? After much trial and error (and lots of laundry!) I finally settled on prefolds with waterproof, Velcro covers, which has served us well for the last 10 months but is not without a few annoyances such as the bulkiness of the prefolds – especially when you have to double up like we often do.
Despite having combed every corner of the internet to research and compare the endless array of options, I seem to have missed contour diapers or assumed they had to be used with specific covers or would only fit for a short amount of time. Turns out, I should have tested them long ago. The Bumkins Contour Diaper is much more versatile than I expected – these diapers work with most covers (I tried it with two types and it worked perfectly), are incredibly slim but absorbent and very soft. I tested the diaper overnight without doubling up and to my surprise, no leaks or wetness. Another plus for me is the Bumkins diaper line-dried in the same amount of time as the prefolds. The only downside I noticed is the Contour Diaper is only available in one size so they might not work for smaller babies.
While the Bumkins Contour Diapers are not cheap – $10.95/cotton, $12.95/bamboo – I think having a few on hand is definitely a worthwhile investment, especially for those of us that stubbornly insist on using cloth diapers outside of the home but don’t want the extra weight in the diaper bag.
