I've been exclusively cloth diapering Lucy now for a couple of weeks, and I'm loving it. It's easier than I had imagined with traveling/going out, and so I've only used a couple of disposables in the last weeks for times when she is at therapy and I think there's a chance she might create a dirty diaper. Nannie ordered me several Fuzzi Bunz, and I've decided I prefer those over Bumgenius, though I still love all of them. I like the snaps on the Fuzzi Bunz--I don't have to fuss with the velcro laundry tabs (or the velcro sticking to dirty stuff when I change her). And the Fuzzi Bunz are slimmer and trimmer since they are sized (Lucy is in mediums with lots more room to grow), so Lucy doesn't waddle so much with the bulk. I'm using the Bumgenius for overnight and especially under clothes that have a more generous fit, but the Fuzzi Bunz work on her smaller-bottomed outfits. Also, the Bumgenius sometimes leave red marks around Lucy's legs, but I can't do any more adjusting to make them bigger there; I haven't had this problem with the FB. Overall, I'm very pleased with this easy change and love that I haven't bought disposable diapers in over a month--and I'm not looking back! :)

Yay! Glad you are liking them. We find the FB great for Ezra's small frame (he's also in mediums, on the smallest snaps pretty much). Good idea on the BumGenius for nighttime; I might have to order some. We use 7th Gen. sposies for nighttime, but want to use more cloth at night but I need to figure out doubler stuff.
Ashley - Lucy is a standard overnight wetter (depending on how much liquid she has gotten the night before), and she does fine with the Bumgenius regular/toddler insert plus either one or two newborn inserts. It's pretty bulky, but it does the job well. :)
thanks Katie, for the update--I'm curious now to try the FB now. It's hard to get jeans to fit Elena's tush without having to roll them up 6 inches at the bottom for her to walk!! And yes, she does waddle quite a bit. So I'll have to try the others now. Hmmm. Thanks for the input!!
Sara - Definitely try the FB! Of course, I'm no expert, having only tried the two varieties. So there might be even slimmer options out there...
