Does anyone use these?? What do you think of them??

Also, does anyone know if these can be dried in the dryer?

These are not an all in one. They are a pocket diaper. I really like them now that they fixed the laundry tabs. I dry mine in the dryer or I hang them up if I'm not in a rush. They are very trim and absorbant. I can use them at nite with my super soker son with only the insert it comes with and a mircofiber towel. I think these are one of the best pocket diapers.

I like BG so much that they are now most of our stash! We had to switch to pockets for daycare, and tested out BG, Happy Heinys, and Swaddlebees. BG is the only one that didn't leak or wick, so that's the main reason I chose it. I also like that:
~ the fit is fantastic due to adjustable rise, lots of soft, stretchy elastic, and the stretchy wings
~ they're one-size, so they're economical and I won't have the hassle of worrying about resale
~ the fantastic (quick drying, super absorbant, don't require folding for m/l sizes) cottonbabies inserts were included - inserts can get expensive
~ they're easy for daycare providers or anyone else to use without a tutorial
~ I can adjust the absorbancy as my son's wetting patterns change
~ the suedecloth inner doesn't pill and stains sun out easily

There are a few things I don't love. I wish BG were available in cute primary colors - colors are coming, but I was on a quick deadline to get daycare dipes and couldn't wait. The white suedecloth is a magnet for dark lint and stains very easily (though stains sun out very quickly). I wonder how they'll hold up to washing and drying on hot. I wash on hot because I've found that diapers don't get as clean in my front-loader on warm, but I do hang the pockets to dry most of the time. However, I know some other mamas have washed and dried on hot for a couple of months with no problems. I hope my BG last for the rest of my son's diapering days, but if they last as long as small/med of some other brand would have, I'll have gotten my money's worth. Hope this helps!

I have one of these - we bought it to see what all the fuss was about. Now I am happy to say that I am waiting for the colors to come out!

LOVE the insert that comes with it as well.

We have resorted to only using the one we do have at night, since my DD is such a heavy night wetter than even in double-stuffed FBs, we're having wicking issues. It seems to be the only thing that's keeping her dry on the OUTSIDE.

The elastic also seems stretchier than other dipes I've used, if that makes any sense. And the suedecloth somehow holds poo better than microfleece, but also makes shaking OFF the poo easier. Don't know how that works, but I'm LOVING that it does!

I line dry the pocket and throw the insert in the dryer.

We love them! They are the only pocket diaper that never, ever wicks around the thighs for us, even after twelve hours at night!!! They are going to be coming out with colors soon, and we're pretty excited about that! There is an older version that had some issues with the foldback tabs, but the newer version fixed it. Definitely easy to use with daycare, and the cloth diaper that is most like a disposable. I know of some moms that have all sorts of stains with the inner suede cloth, and others haven't had any issues. I guess is depends on water type? I know some people don't like the thin outside layer, it kind of reminds them of rubber pants. But, definitely a great one-size diaper! HTH!

I love mine, like the fit, no leaking, they stain easily but came out when I stripped them.
BUT I have the "old" laundry tab ones. I found this scotch-tape sized piece of hard plastic in the wash, and noticed that one side of the diaper's tabs is not as thick, as if the other side of it came off or something. Is this what people are talking about with faulty tabs?

I just got 3 and I LOVE them. I cannot wait till the colors come so I can buy more!! They fit dd so well. I really love the stretchy tabs. The only thing is like others said-the outside fabric is thin and plasticy(if thats a word). But as long as they hold up in the wash it's fine by me.

Send an email to Cotton Babies. They have been GREAT about replacing the defective diapers. I emailed them after I'd used the diaper for 3 months and she still offered to replace it. They are a wonderful store.

Yep, Jenn has replaced all of mine that had trouble. I got a bunch out of the batch with the faulty sewing on the laundry tabs. I saw something on the site as I was preparing the last one for exchange that said Bumgenius exchange. What does that mean? Is there an exchange system to turn in the old ones for the newer ones with the snag resistant stretchy? I would love that.
