Nubunz, anyone?? $8.50 pockets, USA made..

[november]

I've heard a few good things about a newish company selling a fitted diaper called Nubunz. www.nubunz.com

Anyone here have any experience with them? They seem pretty comparable to BG's or FB's for a fraction of the price. I am a cloth diaper virgin on a very tight budget, so I am very, very tempted to order 24 of these or so.

Hoping someone here has had some experience with these! :0) Anyone?

Check out diaperswappers, there is a thread about them. They seem pretty good overall. I just ordered some and they shipped them already, prolly will have them by Friday and then will be able to review them by Sunday
The sale on them ends soon (only August) - they will be more than $8.50 a piece afterwards. How much though I don't know, they don't state it on their website.
The dipes are USA made and not in China (unlike Ebay stuff, though I know people who have good experiences with Coolababy, Fashionbaby etc)...

Cool, great to know! Please report back and let me know what you think of them as well! I am tempted to buy two or three but I'd love to hear your opinion of them first.

[texmati]

ooh! I'd love to know as well! DH has been asking for some bumgeniuses, but I hesitate because they are velcro-- not snap.

I just ordered 8 after reading the reviews on diaperswappers.... they should be here today. Can't wait to use/see them!

Also new to all this and was that I was wondering how they were. I am still debating on ordering them or going with a prefold/cover. But at the price if its good that hard to beat.

Does anyone know if the fleece liner is more like FB or more like BG? The descriptions says "polyester micro fleece inner" but I don't know how to translates into what it feels like. I think that means it's more like FB, but I am not sure.

I recently bought 2 nubunz diapers and like them pretty well. I haven't tried FB yet but the fleece liner is similar to BG. Its thinner and BGs liner is better. For the price the nubunz are worth it. I have used them over night with both inserts they provide. I usually use an extra one just in case. The PUL is just about the same quality as BG. For some reason they call them AIO on ebay but they are pocket diapers. The newborn insert is just about as large as the large one. It would be great if they had snaps on them to change sizes for a smaller baby. I'm about to order some more while they are still for a great deal. On there website it says the great deal is only going to be till the end of August. I have no idea what the regular price is going to be. Oh one more thing they run a bit bigger than the one size BGs.

Darn, I probably can't use them on my little guy. For some reason, he gets a rash every time I use the BG on him. My theory is that the liner is bothering him b/c I can't figure what else it could be. I use the same detergent as with my other diapers so I don't think it is that. I've tried double rinsing the BG, but that's more hassle than it's worth for just three diapers. I may try a Nubunz just to see. If I don't like it, I'll pass it along to someone else, I suppose. I wouldn't be out a lot of money so I guess they're worth a try.

That's too bad he gets rashes from them. Happy Heiny's has a fleece liner but its different. Ever tried them?

Interesting - they look EXACTLY like Coolababies except with the 2 extra snaps added so you can overlap at the waist, and better colours. Even the logo is almost identical. I don't mean to sound suspicious, it's just kinda curious. If they are knock-offs it isn't a bad thing, I have 30 Coolababies from ebay and I absolutely love them.

[JessieBird]

Further thought...I'm not usually a conspiracy theorist but do you think they can say "made in USA" if all they did was customize the tag and add two snaps to Coolababies (or other similar factory) made in China? Truly no accusation or judgement from me, just curious to know.

The bottom of their main page http://www.nubunz.com/ lists the normal prices (ie. after sale presumably). This is what I found:

$10 each plus shipping for 1- 7
8 or more gets free shipping
12 or more gets discounted price per dipe

[heatherweh]

Good deal! I don't know why I always shied away from pocket dipes- I got some pocket AIOs and stuff them with hemp doublers at night or for car rides. Its not a big deal at all.

I ordered 3 dipes and 2 extra stuffers- great price but the shipping was high $9.

I just ordered a couple of these and they shipped today.

I will let you know what I think of them after I try them out.

[Smithie]

I'd like to order some of these at this awesome price!

Does anybody have an opinion as to whether the round or square velcro tabs are best? (We don't like snaps so much.) Also, what are the two included inserts made out of? Microfiber? Hemp?

[nia82]

The inserts are microfiber and somebody who already has them said the inner liner is some sort of special fleece that wicks moisture away.
The shipping was for free as I ordered 10 of them... I think starting at 8 it's for free.
I ordered Wednesday, they shipped the same day and made it to Denver today, so I guess I'll have them on Monday (UPS tracking is so hm addicting, cannot wait for them to arrive!). I ordered them for nights and car rides... And those super wriggly diaper changes....

[Mamato3wild ponnie]

I just order 3..cant wait to get them...hope we see good reviews

[Mamato3wild ponnie]

Anyone get there's yet? I got an email today...mentions something with the factory and the delivery date is pushed back a few days? Anyone else see this?

[Sleepyheaded_Mama]

Oh please do update this thread once you all have your Nubunz in-hand, my step sister is intrigued by my decision to CD this LO and I want to recommend these to her knowing they are worth it as her LO is due three months after mine.
