In this cloth diaper review of Fuzzibunz Perfect Size diapers, we share what we love and would change about these pocket diapers.
Cloth Diaper Brand - FuzziBunz
Diaper Type - Pocket
Overall Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥
What size did you purchase? - We purchased one small and several medium size diapers. This diaper comes in 4 sizes: X-Small - 4 to 12 lbs, Small - 7-18 lbs, Medium - 15 to 30 lbs, Large 25 to 40+ lbs
How much did you pay for it? - $15 per diaper, including one microfiber insert.
Fuzzibunz is one of those
completely reliable diaper options. While the cost of purchasing
diapers in multiple sizes can add up, sized diapers are definitely one
of the best options for a nice, snug fit.
We used our Fuzzibunz
Perfect Size Diapers primarily as our go-to over-night diapers. They were wide enough and
roomy enough to prevent leaks, even when we stuffed them up with several
inserts and doublers.
The design of FuzziBunz Perfect Size is
great. While many brands have added hip snaps to prevent "wing droop"
and the leaking that can happen when the diaper isn't snug around the
legs, we never had a problem with Fuzzibunz. I think that with the two
snaps on either side, the placement is perfect to avoid leaks... and two
snaps are easier than 3 on a wiggly baby!
These diapers are
really well made, and my sister can testify that they hold up for the
long haul - hers have gone through 2 children already and are still in
great shape. One more thing that I truly appreciate about this diaper
is the simplicity of changing the elastics. Over time, exposure to
urine and detergents causes the elastic in most diapers to start to lose
its stretch. FuzziBunz design makes changing the elastic easy and
painless - and they even provides replacement elastic with every
diaper!
You may hear people say that FuzziBunz sizing runs big. I tend to agree. We weren't able to use the small right away on our 8 lb newborn - it was too big. We used the medium starting at around 18 lbs, and it fit right up until 35 lbs.
There
isn't much I would change about the FuzziBunz Perfect Size diaper. I
don't use pocket diapers as often as I used to, but this is a great
pocket diaper.
I`m not a huge fan of microfiber inserts. We
primarily used hemp inserts sold by AMP Diapers, and we stuffed our
FuzziBunz with hemp most often. Even with two microfiber inserts, I
found they weren`t as absorbent as a single AMP Hemp Insert. While a
microfiber insert will work during the day, if you plan to use this
diaper for naps or overnight, I would definitely want to at least double
up the microfiber inserts... but I would definitely consider investing
in more absorbent inserts for overnight and for heavy wetters. Most
inserts will fit in the FuzziBunz pocket.
Yes, on a scale of 1 to 4 (with 1 being never, and 4 being absolutely!), I give FuzziBunz Perfect Size Diapers a 4.
As
far as pockets go, FuzziBunz are one of my favorites. I`m not currently
using FuzziBunz, as I don't use pockets as often any more - since I
went back to work, I found I prefer AI2s that didn't require stuffing.
