Baby Products Reviews of Bummis Super Whisper Wrap Cloth Diaper Cover: Small (8.5-15 lbs).
Customer Review: A good cover but the competition's better
Summary: 4 Stars
There's no doubt about it, for cost and eco-friendliness cloth diapering is the way to go, and the new innovations are so easy and convenient there's no reason not to. That said, I've tried these, Kushies, and bumGenius. We just started using these because my baby just passed 8 lbs. I use these with Chinese prefolds (which btw are the most absorbent thing out there and so cheap!). My daughter's had no leaks and seems perfectly comfortable in them. Hence, four stars.
BUT... they're limited in size and you have to buy a diaper to go in them. The cost of a whisper wrap plus a chinese prefold is only a few dollars less than the bumGenius, which is the most amazing cloth diaper invented IMHO, because it comes complete and it fits for so long. It fit my daughter at under 7 lbs and is supposed to fit up to 35 lbs (hopefully she'll be potty trained before then!). So if you count the amount of time you CAN'T use the whisper wrap because it's too small or too big, it's cheaper and more convenient to pay a few extra dollars to go with the bumGenius.
Customer Review: Bummis vs Thirsties
Summary: 4 Stars
When I got into cloth diapering I got both the Bummis SSW and Thirsties (both the sized covers and the Duo). I love them both, but I wanted to tell the pros of the Bummis over the Thirsties.
Every baby's different, so if yours is similar to mine you may love the Bummis a little more. My baby girl (now 4 months old) has always had really chunky legs but not a big belly. Since the Bummis SSW don't have leg gussets, they don't hug her legs too tightly. I have to be careful with the Thirsties because if I'm not, I may get them too tight on her legs. Do I have leaks since the SSW doesn't have leg gussets? No, I just make sure the prefold underneath is on good and I have a fleece liner in to help the absorbancy.
I do love both Bummis and Thirsties, I just think too many people address the issue of skinny legged babies when there's some of us with chubby legged babies and have to be careful that the leg gussets of some diaper covers don't squeeze them too much. Hope I helped :)
Customer Review: Fantastic cover!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am totally a fan of cloth diapering now that I've actually done it. I must admit I was very apprehensive before I actually used them because I thought it would be so much work, but it really amounts to doing a load of laundry every other day... not hard. These diaper covers are fantastic. I have not had a single leak with them. When my daughter was first born, a friend gave us several packs of newborn disposable diapers that we used for the first few weeks, and we had numerous leaks. We actually used the newborn size of Super Whisper Wrap for the first two months and are on the small size now. She was 6 pounds 11 ounces when she was born. I use the chinese prefold diapers with them. I tried two different types of the Gerber prefold, but they're just not as absorbant and were quickly saturated. What sold me on these covers is how I can wash them with diapers when they are soiled and I don't have to hand wash them or anything.Customer Review: There are better options...

After having tried the Thirsties covers, Proraps and the Bummi Whisper Wraps, the Thirsties win hands down. I've found that the Bummis tend to leak more because there are no gussets around the legs and the layer of cloth that is on the inside actually seems to wick the moisture outside so I end up not only changing the diaper but also my baby's clothes (and sometimes sheets!) whenever I use them. While this may be ok during the day, it is definitely not fun at night! The cloth on the inside also stains easily with poopy diapers so reusing the covers are just not an option as they are with the Thirsties (you can just wipe down the inside and they're ready to go) which means more washing. After only about 2 months of use, the Bummis also seem more worn and old-looking. Overall, I would say--spend your money on another cover. For the same cost, who needs a cover that makes it harder, not easier, to cloth diaper?Customer Review: Bulky and boring! Get Thirsties instead

When I bought my first batch of prefold diapers from Amazon the covers recommended to go with it were the Bummis Super Whisper Wrap. However from the start I didn't like them. They were starchy stiff and didn't seem to fit around baby well at all. They are very wide and low and I felt like they made her body rigid and were very bulky under her clothes. They also have no extra leg gusset and although we managed to avoid any major leaks I found this a short-coming of a diaper cover that was seemingly so well hyped.
I've used several types of other covers since and just got Thirsties which are by far the very best around! I just wrote a full review on my cloth diaper cover experiences which can be found on my blog [...]
