Over this year, I've discovered so many wonderful benefits of bamboo such as 100% biodegradable, sustainable, and it also grows super fast making it a renewable resource! Bamboo is also extremely soft, absorbent and very breathable so it's great for keeping your baby cool, dry and comfortable especially when it's hot out.
I was given the opportunity by Cotton Babies to review a bumGenius DELUXE Bamboo Fitted Cloth Diaper as well as a couple of the bumGenius bamboo wipes.
The wipes, though made from Bamboo, I found not as soft and as absorbent as the flannel ones I've used. I would possibly use these for other things but not on my daughter's sensitive bottom. Note that I was recommended to try fabric softener but have not been able to as of yet since I normally don't usually use it as it's built into my laundry detergent.

I found the diaper super soft to the touch and I'm sure my daughter really enjoys wearing it. The things I like about this diaper are as follows:* It's naturally stretchy making it the perfect fit for your growing baby
* It's available in sizes extra small ( 6-12lbs) to Large (20-30lbs)
*They are super absorbent, we've had no leaks at all!
* Velcro closure, great for children learning to potty train!
* Not as bulky as other cloth diapers my daughter has worn!
A few issues I've had with the diaper...
* Because they are super absorbent, I've had to run these in the dry cycle 3-4 times
*These run a little small, so I would recommend getting the next size up
* Velcro closures - not good for babies that tend to take off their diapers, I would recommend using a diaper cover!I'm still on the search for the perfect cloth diapers and supplies. I hope my review will benefit someone in someway as I know lots of other people are also on this search. See more reviews of the bumGenius bamboo diapers at Cotton Babies!

I have this diaper- I usually use pockets but was told to try this on my super-wetting 17 month old boy who sleeps at least 12 hours a night. Well, I found that all the same things you did- I used a Thirsties Duo cover with it- I liked the diaper a lot! But it is not the answer to my overnight cloth diapering woes. I am afraid because he sleeps so long, the only thing that is the answer at this point is disposables for night. (I don't want him to keep leaking through during these cold months and spent all night drenched). But I agree with this review- it is a great diaper and I definitely plan on using it during the day, even though I am a Pocket girl!
Great to know you agreeded with my review. :) I enjoyed sharing my thoughts on cloth diapering here on Kindred Spirits Thoughts and look foward to sharing more review in the future :)
