**Updated**
I’m feeling very reporter-ish right now. Currently, I’m camping at Garner State Park in south Texas but I *have* to report something to you!
Any typos must be ignored because I am writing this on the phone.
There’s a huge launch going in today over at Softbums cloth diapers. Already I’m a huge fan of Softbums because of their amazing toggle elastic adjuster in the legs.
The mom behind the business is about as sweet and dedicated as they come.
I’ll get to the point since one of my normal posts would take me 5 years to type on this.
FIT:
The most customized fit you’ll get with a one-sized diaper.
The Velcro gives you a snug waist fit but is easily undone by toddlers.
ABSORBENCY:
After one prep (which is not fully prepped!) I began using the system. I first used the bamboo pod. I left ut in Sterling for 3 hours. The pod was wet but the shell dry.
I then got him ready for bed by adding the fleece-topped microfiber pod with a doubler (newborn) pod.
After 14 hours we had no leaks, Sterling was dry and the shell wasn’t soaked.
EASE OF USE:
Getting the correct fit with the toggle isn’t difficult but it does take some time. Once you get it where you want it though you won’t have to mess with it until baby requires it.
The toggle can be accessed through the front small slit and through the wide pocket at the back.
Changing out the pods is easy. Just unsnap and snap in a new one. If the shell gets damp you can lay it out to dry for next change.
OMNI DIAPER FEATURES:
- The first Muti-Purpose Pocket Ever! It’s a Pocket Diaper AND an All-In-2
AND a Cover!
- Huge pocket opening is easy to stuff
- Larger size means it fits even BIGGER toddlers up to 40 lbs, yet still
fits a tiny Newborn with Slide²Size
- Compatible with the same Pods as the Echo, as well as almost any other
diaper insert!
- Choice of DryTouch or Organic
- Use as an all-in-2 for the most economical diapering system available!
- Use as a pocket for a super absorbent and bulletproof diaper so easy your
daycare can use it!
- Use as a cover over flats, prefolds or nearly anything else you already
have for a worry-free night!
Softbums was versatile before now you have yet another option. I’ve always recommended Softbums and I continue to stand behind that!

I’ve not tried a softbums diaper, but I love the idea of the slide 2 size adjustment! I think it’s a wonderful concept!

My favorite feature of the Echo is the toggles to adjust the elastic – I’m so excited they kept that on the new Omni.

I love that you have multiple ways to use it. I often go between pockets, AIO/AI2 and fitteds, so this is like a dream diaper for me

I am wondering if this system would be better than Flip. I currently have a Flip but am looking to add to my stash and really like the concept of Softbums. Has anyone else had a chance to compare these two systems?
October 18, 2010 at 10:16 am
Hmm. That’s tough. I like them both for different reasons. I think it be best to have both
Having some diversity is a good thing.
