Review on 🍼 Charlie Banana Baby 2-in-1 Reusable Fleece Cloth Diapering System: The Ultimate Unisex Pastel Diaper Set with 6 Diapers and 12 Inserts! by Nicolai Goler

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not worth the money after all

I used these diapers for about 18 months before destocking them and I have mixed feelings about them. The Good: When I first started using them they fit my long and skinny 6 month old very well, they were easy to adjust and the microfiber was quite absorbent. Bad: - The rubber strap wore out very quickly. I bought several FuzziBunz brand diapers at the same time and used both diapers the same way. FuzziBunz has lost no (or very little) elasticity. Most of my Charlie Bananas have all of the gum removed. And unlike FuzziBunz, you can't replace the gum in a Charlie Banana. The bra strap slider was corroded on some of them, making it very difficult to adjust the size. Leg elastic after every wash. This meant that a medium sized diaper would look more like a large diaper after washing. If I remember to adjust and pull out the buckle, the diapers will tear and leak. The pads didn't seem to stay absorbent for long. I felt like I had more leaks with these diapers than any other. I ended up buying different inserts for these diapers because the CB inserts didn't fit. Ultimately, I think these diapers are a good deal, but not in the long run. I wish I could take my money and invest in other brands with better warranties, longer shelf life, and flexible replacement options.

Pros
  • fingers crossed
Cons
  • sad packaging
