Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have twin boys, and a lot of cloth diapers. When the Bumgenius "Freetime" came out, I was very excited. I immediately bought some, but I have to say that they have become the diaper that I shuffle to the bottom of my stash. They are so cute, especially with the "Albert" pattern, but I just can't get them to function reliably. What I love about this diaper is that it has the sturdy snaps that are common on BG diapers, and because the absorbent material is sewn into place, there isn't any extra bulk in the tummy area, under the snaps. That makes for a great fit around the waist. However, those sewn in "flaps" have caused me so much disappointment. Firstly, there are openings in the flaps. I don't own a diaper sprayer, so I have to dunk and swish, which wouldn't be a problem... except that solids can get into the opening on the flap. That's pretty gross. I also have some lint that keeps building up in there, that I have to pick out. I've never had that problem with a diaper before. My boys boys are active toddlers now, and I find that even if they are wearing the diaper for a short time, and the front flap is folded for more protection in the 'wet zone', it still leaks out the leg holes. I've tried adding doublers to the diapers, but the loose flaps want to wiggle around and slip out the sides, causing me to try and hold down a busy toddler, while stuffing the edges back in. It just doesn't work very well for us. If the two flaps weren't meeting in the middle and trying to each go their own way, it would be easier to use. All in all, I am very sad that these diapers don't work better for us. I really wanted to love them. They are cute, and I hate to feel like I've wasted money. However, these diapers have caused me to change many pairs of pants, and usually at very inopportune times. So sad. :(
