Rumparooz G2 OS

Overall: very pleased


Design

Type: pocket

Fastening: strong snaps

Inserts: 6r soaker set- full size microterry w/ snap down setting and contoured newborn microterry insert

Cover: microchamois inner; waterproof outer


Absorbency and Containment

Urine: great for daytime; have had some leaks overnight due to long stretches of sleep

Solids: "poop scoop" design and double interior gussets keep explosions contained


Fit

Legs: double interior gussets have soft and comfortable elastic

Waist and Rise: 2 rows of snaps along waist; 3 rows of rise snaps

Trimness: thicker than disposables creates some bulk but they fit well under onesies



Convenience

Changing Inserts: inserts do have to be removed by hand for washing

Speed and ease: if stored pre-stuffed they are just as quick and easy as changing disposables

Space/Storage: take up considerable room in diaper bag and changing table if pre-stuffed


Care

Washing: same routine as other CDs

Drying: pocket dry time is faster than AIO; soaker dry time is comparable to regular laundry


Value

Length of Use: 6-35+ pounds

Price: $23.50


Other Comments

Though it is thick, this diaper fits well and is adorable on Baby Bee's bum. The newborn soaker works as a booster to add extra absorbency.

One thing that initially worried me about Rumparooz was that the diapers are made in China. I was concerned about my purchase supporting a possible sweat shop, but while I was writing this review I found out that Rumparooz had recently won a MACT award. One of the qualifications for this award is that the company provide fair and safe working conditions for their employees. You can read more here.
