I consider them to be trim. They do run a bit smaller than the swaddlebees, but my ds is in a medium of both brands (and he's 22ish pounds at 9 months).

And definitely SOFT and CUTE!

HTH!

Thanks! That helps! I love all of the colors... but will have to wait until baby comes to decide WHICH ones, 'cause they have great girl AND boy patterns! It would be just impossible to pick something now.

These fit my skinny SD really well and they are quite trim. I got some during the sale and am loving them as well. They hold a lot and DS is super comfy in them. I am kicking myself for not getting more.

They are trimmer, you'll like them if you like the BPs.

If anyone missed the sale and wants to give them a try without paying $28 a diaper, there are some "irregulars" listed on their outlet:

Or, of course, for those who did get some at the sale and can't stop themselves from buying more...

hmm i got burned by them with the sample diaper ( i know they had problems and are being made differnant and in the states now) i just don't know if i trust them to try it...i do have a coupon to use tho...so maybe i should try them

[peapiebaby]

I got burned w/ the sample, too (mine never showed, then was resent, then never appeared.)
I was very leery of trying them again but have since been pleased.

Also, as far as fit goes, from what I can tell w/ names, etc..., it seems the woman w/ Swaddlebees also is the owner for Blueberry? Anybody else know any more? So the fit might be very comparable. I have a chubby legged baby so don't have to worry about those issues....

i just noticed the same print on swaddlebees and blueberry diapers... are they the same?

Uh Oh!! I was really looking forward to buying some blueberries, but if they are just like the swaddlebees I can't do it!! Swaddlebees have always leaked like a sieve for us (especially the AIOs). Someone please tell me the bb aren't leaking! They are just so cute!!

[peapiebaby]

We only have a cover (and training pants that I bought waaaay in advance) so don't know that much about the leaking....But the same lady sends out the e-mails for both sites (Margarita McClure?McCaskin? Mcsomething...)

Both campanies have the same owner (well, I think she's sold swaddlebees now, but still works there??), but the cut of the diapers is very different. The blueberries are wider through the crotch, and wider at the sides too (where the snaps are). The swaddlebees AIOs have always leaked for me too (though the pockets work great). No leaks at all with the blueberries. They do seem like they'd be less likely to leak since they offer fuller coverage. I'm still loving them a few weeks later.

I know this is an old thread, but I was wondering if anyone had tried the non-minky diapers - the sized pockets that are not minkey.....they're just a little more in a price range I can afford.
