Bummis All In One Diaper Review
Available now at www.GreenMountainDiapers.com
Bummis has just released a their new AIO cloth diaper (all-in-one). An AIO diaper is when there are no removable inserts. You don’t need to stuff any extra absorbent piece into the diaper. They are literally all in one. They are great for ease of use. No time to pre-stuff the diaper. They are quick to prep. The main ‘con’ that cloth diaper users seem to have with AIO style diapers is the length of time they take to dry after being washed. Being that they are AIO they are thicker and have more material as part of their design. This naturally causes them to take longer to dry. I drip dry all of my cloth diapers. When you place a cloth diaper in the dryer with medium to high heat the elastic that is found in the waist and around the leg gussets will warm up. When elastic gets warm time after time it can loose is elasticity and integrity. You NEVER want to pull on a cloth diaper straight out of the dryer! If you pull hot elastic it cannot and will not go back to it’s original tightness.
AIO diapers come in different designs if you will. Each brand have their own design which makes them unique. I really like what Bummis came up with for this new AIO cloth diaper. When you open this diaper it has a an absorbent organic cotton liner. This is what will be up against your child and what will catch everything. It is slightly textured which is great to keep things stay put if you will when bowel movements occur. Don’t get me wrong though, the contents are going to shift and move in there as the kids moves around, but I feel like this feature does help keep things not move around as much.
The Bummis AIO has a long extra piece of the same organic textured material, this is referred to as a doubler. A doubler helps give extra absorbency to a diaper – extending how much it can hold. This can be laid on top of the diaper against your child skin or ‘stuffed’ underneath/inside the diaper. Because the doubler is permanently attached to the diaper and will never be removed, this diaper is still considered an All-In-One.
Underneath the main layer, where you would stuff the doubler if you choose too, is an extra layer of material. You can feel it in there and peek in to view. After washing and drying this inside layer can get shifted around. It is attached on both ends but not on the sides lengthwise. Before I stuff the doubler in this pocket (because that is how I like to have my son wear this diaper), I stick my hand in the pocket and smooth down this extra layer. During washes this layer will roll up and sort of bunch up. I feel like I wouldn’t want to wear the diaper with that slight bumpiness to it, so I like to smooth it out for my child. I believe it makes it more comfortable for him, as well as more effective. If the cloth bunched all up in the middle then its not as effective on the sides towards the legs and could possibly cause a leak. I have NEVER had a leak from the diaper, but I think this user error could cause a leak especially with boys who pee out leg holes.
Overall here are the best parts of the Bummis AIO:
- Easy to wash (only 1 wash to prep needed)
- Fast to dry
- Nice leg gussets

April 4, 2016 at 12:11 amI will try this AIO. I have been looking for a favorite to buy multiples of since I am new to cloth diapering
April 4, 2016 at 11:20 amLove the doubler!! I had a heavy wetter and doublers are HUGE helps!
April 4, 2016 at 5:25 pmThanks for reviewing this diaper. I’m not as familiar with Bummis, but now I’m intrigued!
April 4, 2016 at 7:07 pmThis is an absolutely gorgeous diaper. I’ve shied away from using other AIOs because I’m not a fan of microfiber and they are so thick I never know how clean they wash. The doubler piece that can then be folded to fit my heavy wetter son’s needs – that’s perfect! What a great diaper!
April 5, 2016 at 11:40 amI like that these are made out of organic material and that they are easy to wash! I also love all of the cute patterns!
April 7, 2016 at 12:35 amOhh I’ve never seen an AIO with an attached doubler! I’m a very excited newly expectant mommy and I can’t wait to start my cloth diaper stash!
April 7, 2016 at 1:17 amDoes this include the super hero AIO?
April 8, 2016 at 10:07 amI am unsure which super hero one you are talking about. I dont think Bummis has a super hero one right now. I know Bumkins makes a super hero line, but that is a different brand (they are spelled similarly)
April 9, 2016 at 6:25 amI’m really intrigued by this dimple material.
April 8, 2016 at 10:39 amI just wish the price tag wasn’t so high 🙁
April 8, 2016 at 11:06 amI love that these only need 1 wash to prep, that is so convenient!
April 8, 2016 at 11:40 amIt reminds me of the Blueberry Simplex AIO…which I’m in love with!
April 8, 2016 at 2:05 pmI could totally get behind this brand!
I would love to try one out =]]
April 8, 2016 at 6:22 pmI really like the style of this aio!!
April 8, 2016 at 11:18 pmLove that the insert is organic cotton!
April 9, 2016 at 4:20 amLooking into cloth diapers and this is definitely a good start. I might try these and see how well they work.
April 9, 2016 at 10:51 amI had no idea they were making an AIO
April 9, 2016 at 3:44 pmWow, I didn’t know that some AIO diapers have a spot to put a double or extra padding! So glad I learned that!!
April 10, 2016 at 12:54 pmI’ve never used an all in one but would be interested in trying one out. Thanks for the review.
April 10, 2016 at 2:47 pmThat print is adorable, and I definitely need to give bummis a try.
April 11, 2016 at 8:45 amGood review, I liked reading about the user error with little boys peeing out the leg hole.
April 11, 2016 at 2:18 pmThose look awesome. We have some bummis swim diapers, but I may have to splurge on some of these
April 11, 2016 at 2:25 pmI love the idea of being able to stuff the AIO so it looks more one piece for nanny, grandparents etc – but have the quick option of just laying down the soaker for me.
April 12, 2016 at 7:35 amI love the thickness of these
April 12, 2016 at 2:55 pmI would love to try this AIO. I like how trim it looks and how simple it is to use
April 12, 2016 at 3:31 pmWould really love to try these. They look very absorbent and nice.
April 14, 2016 at 12:27 pmGreat review, looking forward to trying out the bummis brand soon
April 14, 2016 at 2:10 pmThanks for sharing! I’ll be starting cloth diapering for the first time with my boy #3 due in July. Trying to decide which types I’m going to want to try and which I can rule out altogether before I waste my time. This was helpful,think I’ll be giving this one a try.
April 15, 2016 at 8:20 amIt seems like a great diaper, and a great review. My only question is about bulkiness, how does this diaper compare in bulkiness to other diapers? From the photo it seems like the diaper is a little bulky or saggy and hangs down in the middle
April 15, 2016 at 6:06 pmthe little one going to be coming soon and they are going to use diaper and then i would be gifting it to one of the girls
April 15, 2016 at 10:18 pmNot only are they eco-friendly, but the patterns are super cute!
April 16, 2016 at 4:12 amThis looks like a great AIO! I love Bummis so I can’t wait to try it out! 🙂 I love the prints, too.
April 16, 2016 at 11:11 amThese look like great diapers.
April 16, 2016 at 2:11 pmThis looks so cool! I love this review, I always wanted to try bummis, I hear so many great things about them!
April 16, 2016 at 10:40 pmThat textured inner looks interesting. I haven’t really seen any other diapers with that.
April 17, 2016 at 10:55 amThat textured inner looks interesting. I don’t think I’ve ever seen another diaper inner like that.
April 17, 2016 at 10:57 amThank you for the review. I love that the inside is textured! Seems like that really would make a difference. Also, for this tip “You NEVER want to pull on a cloth diaper straight out of the dryer! If you pull hot elastic it cannot and will not go back to it’s original tightness.” This is the first time I’ve heard anything about this!
April 17, 2016 at 12:59 pmMight have to try this aio
April 17, 2016 at 1:26 pmi love that it is organic cotton sitting against the skin, rather than something synthetic!
April 17, 2016 at 7:48 pmI might have to check these out!! My aio that I currently have is blueberry simplex!!!
April 17, 2016 at 9:15 pmThese are awesome. So much to learn this was a great review and had alot of information for someone just relearning cloth diapers. I love the way they have improved.
April 17, 2016 at 11:46 pmThis looks like a great diaper. I will let my sister know about this post.
April 18, 2016 at 11:23 amI really want to try this! My favorite diaper is the Bummis duo brite and it seems similar just in aio form.
April 18, 2016 at 11:32 amI adore the pattern on these. I wouldnt want to put clothes on over the diaper it is so cute! I like the construction and how well made it looks.
April 18, 2016 at 10:19 pmI think you are right to smooth out the inside of the diaper so that it does not bunch up. It is good that it has several layers.
April 19, 2016 at 4:53 pmThank you for the review my husband and I have a 2 year old daughter and another little girl on the way and we are looking to going cloth this time around This would be a product I would definitely want to try out.
April 22, 2016 at 2:42 amI love this! I’m just wishing these were around when my kids were babies! Thanks for the review!
April 24, 2016 at 12:22 pmWhat a very thorough, informative but easy to read review! Thank you for posting this! Now I just have to convince my hubby that we need one! Lol 😉😆😬
