Some comments:
We love bumGenius! diapers! The new colors are so gorgeous. They fit great, don't wick (even after 12 hours overnight - wow!), are easy to use, trim, and don't leave any red marks!
I've heard that they stain for some, but we haven't had any staining whatsoever, but we use a Mini-Shower.
A note about wicking - we switched to a front loading washing machine, and switched detergents at the same time. About a week later, we experienced wicking and a lot of leaking for the first time. We finally switched back to regular Tide, and just use less for our HE washer. Since we switched back, the wicking stopped. So, if you're having any leaking, I would highly recommend switching detergents. bumGenius! diapers are the most leak-free diaper we've ever tried, hands down.
They seem to start fitting babies around 12 lbs.
We also experienced wicking when using any Free or Clear detergent (like Tide Free, All Free and Clear, Method). These diapers are the most leak-free diapers we've ever tried. But, use the wrong detergent, and the suedecloth becomes like a rubber sheet! The Free and Clear detergents also seemed to make the velcro less effective.
All in all, a great diaper and they really save a lot of money! I'm not sure if they would fit toddlers with super long rises. My husband loves them!

I have been using bumGenius one-size diapers since my son was a few months old. Had I known about these before investing in a large lot of pre-folds and covers, I would have gone exclusively with the bumGenius.
They are wonderful all around. They are durable (I am still using many of my originals two years later), adjustable from birth to potty training, super absorbent and can be tailored to your child's absorbency needs, easy to use, and easy to care for. The 3.0 version is the BEST with the addition of the top ridge of PUL to keep moisture from wicking onto child's shirt and the newborn sized insert.

love these diapers. They are my husbands favorite too. I use prefolds at home but use BG's for going out and nightime. I have NEVER had a leak with them and my daughter is a very heavy wetter. Mine get washed daily and hold up GREAT. I will be buying many many more of them!

I bought the first one to try it out and loved it and then the next I got them when they were on sale. I absolutely love these diapers. I bought two more used...I am going to buy a few more to top up my stash. I use ""amaze"" when I am rinsing the diapers and they get rid of all the stains...they come out beautifully clean and then I wash with tide and last rinse is with vinegar which takes out any residue left and it works beutifully. Oh yeah and I use a liner(kushies) doesn't stain as much and makes poop clean up a breeze. I just adore this diaper and I can see it lasting for a lot longer on her as it has a great rise unlike the rumparooz( which I love as well but seem tiny for a one size diaper). Dont hesitate to buy this diaper.

LOVE these diapers!
You need a special detergent for them, but other then that super easy to care for,(but if you get country save from london drugs, its really cheap) they stay on better then disposables(my baby shows bum crack in disposables). They only leak if his little winki is pointing the wrong way or if he has a very long night, which even disposables leak then, So i think they are wonderful. Stuffing them is so quick and easy. I like the fact that they recommend just a dry diaper pail !!!!!wonderful!!!!!.
TIP- I rinse them once in cold water before taking out the inserts, because i rinse in cold and then wash in hot with an extra rinse. They come out way cleaner then if i wash cold then rinse in hot twice (like they recommend), it comes out way cleaner, my wash machine actually has setting so i dont have to keep going back to it and i dont have to touch pee liners after the diaper change (cause then how do you wash your hands with out touching your baby when you cant leave them on the change table. Or i don't have to touch them when they have been sitting and the smell is intense. I feel like these diapers are a win win for me and the environment..
I am a first time mom and would recommend these diapers to any first time mom or first time cloth diaperer
