new bumGenius 4.0

[daisydo]

I've been using a couple of the bumGenius 3.0 pocket nappies as well as fitted nappies. Has anyone tried the new bumGenius 4.0? Are they any better? Also I had a look on the bumGenius website and they are sold out already of a lot of the colours in the velcro fastening any ideas where else to go?
thanks:flowerz:

Have one 3.0 and 4.0.

3.0 I thought were ok, but not for the price... I didn't think they were THAT much greater then other nappies that were cheaper, plus they were Velcro, which I hate for several good reasons.

I love the 4.0. Can't wait to add more to my stash, but still, $38... ouch. They're a better size and cut. They have snaps, which are great. I got mine from Nuture Nappies, I think they're the distributor? The bumgenius site should have a list of sellers... But yeah, good luck. Seen some for sale on ebay... tempted to get some, but I don't need 12!!! If they were $10 less, I think Bumgenius would be the bulk of my stash...
Otherwise, try somewhere in the states- you have to pay a lot for postage, but the nappies are cheaper, so it kinda works out to be the same... or get a friend to split the cost?

They say the elastic is easier to replace in the 4.0, but I haven't tried. The fabric is the same.

I was looking into buying them from the US - only i really dont need them.

Looks like you could pick up 12 for under $300, which is a lot cheaper - that was just on ebay international sites. I talked myself out of buying them before i could find a US stockist that would do international postage.

DOH! And I found one who DOES international posting hahahahahahahaha. 6 BG's V4 for 150 Aussie dollars with postage included. :thumbsup:

Thats really good value! Gotta love the exchange rate! Pity postage from the US is so much more than from the UK - and it takes longer too!

[Misschief]

Well I got them in yesterday and washed them straightaway. Today I tried them on my son and I have to say they are fantastic!

i have 8 of the V2.0's and they are so fantastic! i bought one v4.0 at the expo and its great too! they are my workhorse nappy and after 17months, still have a lot of life in them

I did buy a 6 pack of the version 4 from a website in melbourne, I've only used velcro fastenings before but thought I'd try the snap - a bit fiddly at first but I'd like to see my toddler get out of them come summer when he's just in a nappy and singlet! I really like them, they fit nicely and dry well. They're great for during the day and if i need a slim fit, but I did also stock up on some BBH bamboo one size when I got the bumgenius, I find them fab for overnight.

I bought 24 v4.0 nappies from ebay in the states & they cost $491 including postage, ao they worked out to be $20.45 each. Bargain! :)

If it's the same seller I used, you're still paying too much. I order them now with a lady who has a shop in Washington. She does an even better deal than the ebay seller. Also they should have the artist prints. I have 10 artists prints, 2 of every colour in snaps as well as Velcro. They're pretty funky.

Sure, I'll PM you :)

[Misschief]

Or not. I can't PM you and I can't leave the link on here as I dont think it's allowed. Can you PM me please?

Hi Misschief,

Would you mind sharing the contact details of lady you buy from in Washington?

I was wondering if you could pm with the details of the washington store. I just missed out on a bargain from Australia yesterday on ebay because they were doing an upgrade right when I was about to start my bidding on 12 bumgenius. whom ever one did so at a bargain price of 205 for 12. Lucky mum.
