Easy to follow guide to bumGenius One Size cloth nappies...
•  This 'one size' nappy can be used from birth to potty - no need to buy small, medium and large sizes, you can adjust this one as your baby grows (from approx 8-35 pounds), saving you money and hassle. 
•  Made up of a soft outer nappy with a pocket which holds the inner pad - both of which get washed each time (hence the name pocket nappy).
•  So easy to use, you put them on just like disposables.
•  Easy to wash – up to 60 degrees. Just use a little antibacterial nappy wash if you are washing at 30/40 (check out our Bio D Nappy Wash).
•  Easy to dry – tumble on a low heat or hang on the line.
•  No soaking required - leave them in a dry plastic bucket with a tight lid until you have enough to do a wash (usually every 2 -3 days). Check out our nappy bucket mesh liner to make it even easier from bucket to machine.
•  Available in 8 colours - Bubble, Blossom, Butternut, Grasshopper, Noodle, Sweet, Twilight, White (see our colour chart above)
•  Available in 2 designs - you can either have velcro tabs or the new snaps to secure the nappy at the front.
•  Trim, snug and comfortable stretchy tabs provide improved fit. 
•  Wide slot makes it easy to stuff and remove insert. 
•  Slot cover keeps your baby protected from wetness at the back. 
•  New waterproof insert stopper prevents leaking at the tummy. 

       


What's included?
Each nappy retails at €17.99 and includes two inserts: a newborn insert for newborns and a one-size insert as your baby grows. When the baby outgrows the newborn insert, it works great as an overnight booster or as extra absorbency for a heavy wetter.

How many do I need?
We recommend 20 nappies. You will go through approx 4-8 a day so this amount means you will only have to do a wash every 2 days approx - some nappies will be drying, some will be in the wash and some will be ready to use.

How do I wash them?
Before first use, wash at 40 degrees 3-5 times without detergent. When the nappy is used, remove the insert from the nappy and store both items in a DRY bucket with a tight lid until ready to wash. Fasten tabs to laundry tabs on the inside of the nappy or wrap tabs around to the front. bumGenius are easy to wash at up to 60 degrees. Just use a little antibacterial nappy wash if you are washing at 30/40 degrees (check out our Bio D Nappy Wash). If you can, prewash cold, then do your normal hot wash. Use ¼ to ½ (¼ for high efficiency machines, ½ in regular machines) of your usual non-bio washing powder. Rinse well. Easy to dry – tumble the inserts on a low heat or hang on the line, the nappy itself is almost dry when it comes out of the washing machine so I wouldn't recommend tumble drying it. Every now and again, wash all nappies cold with no washing powder to prevent washing powder residue build up which decreases absorbency.

Only the best for your baby:
The soft, waterproof outer fabric keeps the nappy just as trim on a newborn setting as it is on a toddler. Soft, sueded inner fabric wicks moisture away from your baby's skin. Super stretchy, ultra gentle leg and back elastic with rolled out casings keep the yuk in and help keep red marks away. Plus, the unique covered (patent pending) pocket opening keeps wetness completely off your baby. After the nappy has been used, you can even avoid messes in your bucket by rolling it up and fastening the tabs before storage. The microfibre inserts are made in China and the nappy is made in Egypt. Fair wage and safe labour standards apply.

Money Back Guarantee:
The bumGenius! Satisfaction Guarantee gives you two weeks to evaluate your purchase. Try one nappy, use it for two weeks. If you don't like it, send it back along with any others you purchased (as long as they are unused and unwashed) and get 100% of your purchase price back.
