EcoBumz Cloth Diaper Review

After writing my review for the ZiggleBaby diaper, I was asked by the owner of the EcoBumz company to test and write a review for their diapers. The two companies go hand-in-hand. I'm not going to get into the history but dive straight into the review. I do have a five month old in the house after all.


I took home two EcoBumz (EB) diapers about a month ago and let me tell you how they differ from my ZiggleBaby (ZB) and Bum Genius (BG) diapers. My other diapers are one size meaning they will fit your baby from about 8 lbs to about 35 lbs or so. The EcoBumz diaper is a fitted diaper that can not be snapped or folded to make them bigger or smaller. Well, I suppose you could do that but I wouldn't recommend it.

The next difference between the BG and EB is located between the legs. I really love this, actually. The EB diaper is not as wide between the legs which is great for my little guy. I get concerned sometimes (like a mom would) that diapers rub his thighs too much or are making him bow-legged. I know I don't really need to worry but I really like the fit on little K.

Another thing that I really love about this diaper is that it's an all-in-one meaning that it doesn't need to be stuffed or folded or anything. This diaper, like most all-in-ones, have the option of adding more fluff. I really like this feature but I have never had to use it. Mind you, the longest K is in a diaper is 3-4 hours.

 

Of course, as with the ZB diapers, it is made from the "fasten anywhere" material where the low-laying hook and loop can literally be fastened anywhere. This can cause an issue which brings me to my first "con" of this review.

If you have diapers with poor hook and loop (otherwise known as Velcro) they may dance and bump and grind in the washer and dryer leading to something of a diaper gang bang when you pull them out of your dryer. Of course, the same happens in the washer even if you are fortunate enough to have a clothes line.

This photo shows all my BG diapers that need the Velcro replaced snuggling up to one EB diaper. I'll save you the trouble of counting, there are 12 diapers. I should say this is not the fault of the EB diapers. All my other diapers that have good Velcro and the laundry tabs hold during the wash do not get involved in this mess. But, I would be remissed to not mention this one thing.

 

One other "con" that I have come to notice occasionally with the diaper is that it can feel a little damp if he is sitting on my knee. There is no leakage and the diaper is waterproof so I am not sure if it is caused by the diaper or if it's because I'm so darn hot all the time. Either way, I felt I should mention it. I only noticed it once of all the times he wore the diapers.

The website claims that it is stain-resistant and I do apologize but I am unable to comment on that as K is EC trained and I haven't cleaned a poopy diaper in quite some time. He had a few accidents while we were travelling about a month ago but not since we have been home. He has never pooped in an EB diaper.

Well, that's all the time I have for this review. My little sunshine is awake and wanting his mommy so I best end here. If my two or three readers have any questions about the product please put it in the comments below and I will do my best to answer them. If I can't answer them directly I can speak with someone at EcoBumz who can.

Thanks for reading! Happy cloth diapering!
