Last week I recieved my first box of Bumgenius' new diaper detergent. The detergent was developed in partnership with Country Save, a well-liked and respected brand in the diaper laundering world. My first impression when the box landed on my doorstep via UPS (cottonbabies.com ships detergents free with UPS...nice) was "that can't be it...that's way too small". Well, that was it. The box of powdered detergent is about 5"x8"x4" and contains an advertised 66 loads worth of suds.
I'm hoping I can get this to last at least 3 months so I don't feel so ridiculous for spending 12 bucks on suck a tiny box, but we'll see.
I'm not super impressed so far, but I don't hate it yet. I think I just need to adjust the amount I'm using.
I'm pretty sure I won't be buying this box of soap again...I read the day after purchasing it that if you compare this detergent with regular Country Save the ingredients are exactly the same. And, since I can get a large box of it at the comissary for about 6 bucks I'll be going with that in the future.

New Bumgenius 4.0 Artist collection prints~ review
Today at 1pm central time Cotton Babies released a new line of prints. I've been anticipating the launch since the day they announced they were coming...Unfortunately I was a bit let down when after watching the youtube cast. But I've looked back a few times throughout the day and have to say they're growing on me!
I love BG 4.0's, and can't wait for Cotton Babies to bring back the brights (clementine, zinnia, ribbit and moonbeam) and put out more patterns.
Bumgenius makes my favorite diapers. I have tried several other brands of pocket diapers and BGs keep my daughter driest the longest, absorb the most urine, wick moisture away the fastest and fit the best.
The price on these is also unbeatable! $17.95 for a one size diaper is an average of 5 bucks less than other brands! Fuzzibunz retail for $19.95, Kissaluvs $23.95 and Rumparooz $22.95, while some all in one or pockets go for upwards of $30 a pop!! Bumgenius is also very consistent in pricing; the Aplix version of their diaper and the snap version cost the very same.
Bumgenius 4.0's feature a super soft, no-pill stay dry inside with the stuff pocket at the back of the diaper. These are a snap-to-size diapers that fit from approximately 8- 35 lbs, possibly even heavier depending on your little ones body type! They're designed to fit after your babies umbilical stump falls off, though most mommies don't have great success with them until around 4 months and up. I didn't start using them on my daughter until she was about 25 pounds ( when i finally got up the nerve to divert from prefolds and pony up the dough! ) but I do intend to use them on our next child, who we're still trying to conceive. But I've only had wicking or leak issues once or twice in the several months that I've been a devoted Bumgenius user- on heavy soaking nights.
I've highly recommended the 4.0's to every cloth-mom I know, and continue to do so! They're definitely worth the money, and if you come across a seconds sale, THAT'S the time to spring for them.
