Unless Bamboozles has changed their product it would not be a nighttime diaper. When I used it, it wasn’t that absorbent. The tab “My Recommendations” has my favorite nighttime diapers. Sbish and Pooters are very absorbent and trimmer than multiple inserts.

Do you have any experience with Bamboozles? We’ve been using flip overnight but have to use two inserts plus another soaker since my boy is such a heavy wetter – it works but they’re not going to fit much longer because of the sheer bulk.

I use the stretch wool cover.

Hi Autumn

I am wondering, when you use the bamboo fitted for night do you recommend the sbish double layer wool cover or their stretch wool cover? Thanks.

it’s much simpler than you’re thinking…all you need to do is buy some fleece from the fabric store, cut it into strips and lay it on the diaper. you can continue using the system that works for you and add that liner for dryness on his skin. the sbish bamboo fitted does not have a stay dry inner.

So here’s a question. I DON’T have a heavy wetter. I am not at all worried about the diaper leaking overnight. I use bamboo Bumgenius fitteds with a Thirsties hemp doubler and a Thirsties cover. HOWEVER, HE (not the bed) is wet in the morning, and that’s no fun! 12 hours is a long time to go without getting a fresh diaper. I’ve been hearing about fleece or flats or somethingorother that I can add between him AND the fitted AND the doubler….that are supposed to keep him dry- but I’m not sure what that is. Does this magic diaper have that built in? I’m worried about his little butt, not the sheets. Any help? Thanks!

Hi, Just a comment on the bamboo diapers. You can purchase a very nice bb fitted diaper on ebay for ($9) I purchased some and was very pleased. For extra absorbancy I used a microfiber pad and wrapped the bamboo soaker around it-so only natural fibers were touching my baby's skin. That worked very well since she was sensitive to diaper rash and she stayed drier and still
had the advantage of the microfiber absorbancy. My baby is happiest in the bamboo fitted diaper
from Hooray4Baby and a cute pocket diaper over,and using the pocket diaper's microfiber soaker pad inside for extra absorbancy. Good Day – Happy Baby!!!

A mom who loves bamboo diapers!!!

I just checked the website for the
organic bamboo fleece fitteds http://www.sloomb.com/cart/ and they are 26 dollars each; are these the right ones for the magic diaper over night ?

Wow I have to say I thought this diaper was unbelievable! I finally ponied up the money for a pair of them (one to wear while the other was being washed). I just couldn’t stand the sight of the soggy 10 lb disposable diaper that my son had been marinating in all night and I figured given what we pay for the nighttime disposables they’d pay for themselves in a few months if they worked, and BOY did they ever work. I’d tried a few other nighttime options with limited success, and we had a lot of night wakings because my LO can’t sleep in a soggy diaper. After 2 nights of trying them out they worked SO well the wetness didn’t even make it to the outside of the diaper to the cover! Mind you, DS was getting over an illness and *may* have been peeing less due to dehydration, but it seemed like his fluid intake was still pretty steady, and I can still see them performing well once he’s back to his super-soaker ways, given that he *barely* gave this diaper a run for his money. Previously we had tried Drybees, Bamboozle, Happy Hempy, and various prefold/pocket configurations that were so bulky my little guy was waddling like an oompa-loompa in them. These diapers are definitely thick but soft and squishy enough that I don’t worry about him being uncomfortable. Autumn, thank you again for your wonderful site – your information has once again proven invaluable.

@yanira: GAD Windpro fleece pockets, SBish Bamboo Fleece fitted, Baby Beehinds, Sugar Peas Pea-In-the-Pod AIO…those are a few good ones.

@heather: Sbish bamboo fitted is a lot more absorbent than GM, imo. GM changed up her website so I can’t find the info stating how many layers they are. The number 9 is coming to mind. Sbish are thicker from my assessment.

@sharon: you can see a picture at either of the links I posted. Bamboozles are very thin and not very absorbent, imo. I didn’t like the fit either.
