Ok, as a dad I am ready to admit that there are many things about the glamorous world of baby cloth diapers that I am still learning. Sometimes it is tough to keep all of the diaper makers and brands straight. If you are a fellow diapering dad like me you know exactly what I am talking about. You have your Bumkins, Your Fuzzi Bunz (not Fuzzi Buns), your BumGenius, your Thirsties, and your Punkin Butts just to name a few. As if that weren’t bad enough, you have to learn to remember which of these diapers are the all in one (AIO) model and which ones nees to have covers to keep the contents of the diaper on the inside of the unit. But wait, there is more that we need to begin to consider…

I have begun to do a little bit of research into the cloth diaper package . What is a cloth diaper package you may ask? Simple, it is typically a grouping of diapers together (sometimes at a discount). So, if you had a need for not just a single Fuzzi Bunz cloth diaper, but a stack of them you could contact one of the many cloth diaper stores online and purchase the diapers you need in a bundle instead of individually. Additionally, you can get a sample cloth diaper package (depending on the cloth diaper store you frequent) so that you can choose several types of cloth diapers with a single purchase. I like the feature. That way I don’t have to go out and hunt down a Blueberry diaper, or Bumkins diaper, I can just order a sample pack with them in it.

One of the other potential pluses for this approach is that it allows you to buy bulk cloth diapers in a single transaction as opposed to many smaller purchases that would end up costing you more money in the long run. Additionally, if you choose the right cloth diaper store you may qualify for free shipping on your cloth diapers.

Baby Cloth Diapers

We all just want a wrap or cover that works…don’t we? I have found that what works and what doesn’t work is not always as much fact as fiction. What I mean by this is that much like beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so is the value or satisfaction with a particular diaper.

I went over to my site of choice, DiaperPin, to do some research on the Bummis Super Whisper Wrap . I needed to know what other people were saying about their experiences with the Bummis wrap. As I alluded to above, the reviews are mixed. It appears that some of those that have purchased the Bummis super whisper wrap have been unhappy with the amount of wicking the cover allows. Additionally, some of the reviewers were not happy with the feel of the wrap, calling it too “plastic” like. Some of the moms seemed to really like their Bummis super whisper wrap and had nothing but good things to say about this Bummis wrap. If you have used this wrap or are currently using it, we would like to hear your story.

Bummis Super Whisper Wrap

As a cloth diapering dad, it is a challenge for me to get up on all of the cloth diapering lingo. It is almost as bad as kids and their super secret texting language. This is nothing new for us men, we have known for a long time that our wives can be a mystery. I think it’s ok for them to have their own secret diapering language…after all we have ours (although it doesn’t center around diapering). The further I get into the cloth diapering underworld the more I find out I don’t know. It gives me a new appreciation for how complex using a Bummis super whisper wrap can be. At least I can go to my wife when I have questions about how to use Bummis diaper covers…who the heck did she learn this stuff from? I think they are born with this knowledge preprogrammed into their mom brains.

In my quest to increase my knowledge about cloth diapering, so that I can be of some use to my wife in this area, I once again dove headlong into the seedy cloth diapering scene to try and get a little more information on the Bummis super whisper wrap I wrote about last time, and the Bummis Super Brite, both of which are Bummis diaper covers. Let me tell you this dads…while there are many forums out there that deal with cloth diapering, I don’t recommend spending a whole lot of time there. Don’t get me wrong, the moms are very knowledgeable, and eager to help, but it just doesn’t feel right. Kind of like walking into a mom’s night out meeting, pulling up a quilt and sitting down with the girls to discuss you travails. It’s just not natural.

As a result of my labor, and a good deal of pleading with my wife, I managed to find a site called DiaperPin. It provides excellent reviews and information on the myriad of diapers (Fuzzi Bunz, bumGenius, Bummis, Bumkins, and the list goes on) available to you as a diapering dad, and you don’t even have to delve into the forums to get the information you are looking for. The site provided very favorable reviews of the Bummis super whisper wrap and the Bummis brite diaper covers. By and large the majority of the reviews were very favorable, and the moms seemed to like the Bummis diaper covers. You should stop in over there and take a look at what they are saying. Now I just have to see what kind of information I can find about Bummis whisper pants.
