Charlie Banana nana nana vs FuzziBunz

(WEB) (FACEBOOK) - 4 out of 5

I am in LOVE. Move over Fuzzibunz I found Charlie Banana. I find the PUL on this diaper exceeds in quality, I love that you get the 2 microfiber inserts (much like the new One-Size Fuzzibunz and elastics on the legs for a custom fit). I love the colour options for this diaper. It's is MUCH like the Fuzzibunz. I just like the fact that I have the option of buying a great pocket diaper from someone else... I've made it known that I'm not buying the new Fuzzibunz being manufactured in China, I find their PUL to be "cheap" and sticky feeling. I find them difficult to stuff. (Look the label, it will tell you where the diaper was made - I prefer the USA and Mexico versions - apparently they will be producing them in Turkey now.)


Charlie Bananas are hard to come by in Canada, but luckily Double K Boutique is selling off the rest of her lot at a discounted price.


Pros:

• Absorbency - great for regular flow
• Fit - Trim and sleek under clothes, custom fit with elastics and snaps, perfect fit on my little girl
• Leaks - no leaks, even with nighttime use
  
• Softness - SUPER soft microfleece
  
• Drying time - covers take an hour or so
• Retail price - competitive!!! Can get them on sale for as little as $15 CAD if you're willing to do the hunt. - Can go as high as $24.95 CAD for prints (which are adorable)
  
• Insert - you get 2 microfleece inserts, a short and a long
• Ease of Use - Snaps! and pocket stuffing
  

Cons:

• Absorbency - not sure if can withstand a heavy wetter
  
• Leaks -no leaks yet - but I'm not using this as a main diaper yet
  
• Drying time - new liners take an overnight dry or 15 minutes in the dryer
  
• Ease of use - tricky if you have a fidgety baby like mine, but I bribe her with a toy
