Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We have been using the original Bambo Nature diapers (green bag) since our child's birth and have had zero complaints. With the new redesign (white bag), we immediately ran into a few leaks like many others have stated. I was very disappointed and ended up returning the bags of unopened diapers. I didn’t want to waste the bag I had opened though so I used that one up after waiting a couple weeks. Strangely, I found that we did not encounter any more leaks in that time. Here’s what I think… After some testing and side-by-side comparison (size 3 only), this could be the issue. Both diapers have the same double gusset feature – one folds up like a barrier around the crotch area and one lays flat against the baby's underside. In the new diaper, the two gussets always stick together when you first open the diaper, causing it to be leak-prone if you put it on your baby this way. This is what probably caused the leaks we had in the very beginning; perhaps we just weren't careful enough. To avoid this, gently run your finger between the layers to separate the gussets and always ensure the diaper fits snugly and correctly on your baby. (I know it’s tough when you have a squirmy kid but it is absolutely necessary.) Bambo also made slight sizing changes to the new diapers which could account for the leaks some customers are experiencing, especially if your child is in-between sizes. We have been using the new Bambo diapers for the past couple months without a single leak again. Considering how thin the diapers are, they hold up extremely well – even overnight or longer uses. I now prefer the new diaper over the original one; it’s not bulky at all, the wetness indicator is useful, and the simpler design looks better under light-colored clothing. It's a winner for us. I hope it stays that way as we move up sizes.
