Short and sweet

As all of you mothers and fathers know, time can be hard to come by when you have little ones (I think it actually stays that way for about 18 years...), so, unfortunately, I don't have time for one of my rambling monologues. Sorry!

I'll get right to the point: the diaper trial has been completed! I decided not to try out the BumGenius on Abby because it is virtually the same as the Happy Heinys (except it fastens with snaps, not velcro). I did, however, try the flip, because with that diaper, you simply lay the insert into the diaper - you don't have to attempt to shove it into a pocket.

Major brownie points in my book!

The diaper was soft and looked comfy (and Abby didn't complain while wearing it!), the insert did an AMAZING job of wicking moisture away (the side that was actually touching Abby's bum felt virtually dry - the opposite side was SOAKED!), and it was very easy to size the diaper to the proper fit. I am extremely pleased with this diaper, and since the econobum diaper is exactly the same (really, the only difference is that econobum diapers are ONLY available in white - and I really don't care about the color!), I will be ordering a full supply of econobums very shortly!

I've washed, dried, and re-packaged my 3 trial diapers, and after contacting Diaper Junction to receive my return order number (which you HAVE to do - you put the number on the outside of the package before you mail it back, and if the company gets a return without that number, they ship it back to you at your expense and you won't get your refund - play by the rules, people!), I will be putting the package in the mail in the next few days! Since I know I will be purchasing diapers from the site, I opted to get my refund in the form of store credit - if you choose that option, you do NOT have to pay return shipping charges! I don't know for certain, but I'm assuming that whatever it costs to ship will just be added to my store credit so that I can use the credit for my impending purchase! You can always get your money back, straight out, but it sounds like you then have to pay the shipping charges. ::shrugs:: I don't think 3 diapers weigh all that much, so shipping wouldn't be all that much anyway - and I had free shipping to begin with!

So, all in all, my recommendation is the Flip-style diaper - once I've used the econobum diaper, I'll let you know how those work. I'm anticipating nothing but good things (and lots of $$$ saving!) from them, but we'll have to wait and see!
