The New bumGenius Elemental Nappy
BumGenius have updated their fantastic bumGenius elemental {previously called bumGenius organic} with a new and improved design.
With the highlights being:
The original organic nappy was much loved because of its slimness and its super absorbency. However, it was a slow drying nappy and some people felt that if not tucked into the sides, the organic on the edges might wick, so you had to be careful to ensure it was tucked in.
In terms of improvement, they have managed to make this nappy even slimmer!!!! Yep, unbelievable. I think this must be about the slimmest organic nappy on the market. I have taken a few comparison shots so you can see the difference between the old and new bumGenius elemental.
The old style is in zinnia, the new in mirror :
You can see from this that the new one is quite a bit wider in the crotch area. As you open up the nappy you can see this, even more, the organic cotton is much wider:
Here you can see the main difference. The new elemental has the folds of cotton much wider and taken all the way to the top of the nappy, whereas before the folds started about an inch in at each end. The new folds have six layers of organic cotton.
However, it does not have the base layer of organic cotton. This means a couple of things. It is much much much slimmer. It is much much quicker drying! And the organic now no longer peeps over at the legs so less chance of wicking by overhanging cotton.
For additional absornbency, it is now much easier to put extra boosters underneath the folds of the organic cotton. I recommend the Hemp Babies Little Weeds as a perfect fit, you can see it tucked in on the bottom picture and it fits like a dream:
So in terms of slimness, in there much of a difference? YES!!! Someone, those genius' at bumGenius have managed to make a super slim cloth nappy, EVEN TRIMMER! Heres a couple of comparison shots from various angles, it's most notable on the newborn setting.
In terms of the inside, I much prefer the new style. It has a lot more play and more space for customisable absorbency
Overall I love the amendments bumGenius have made. I think the new elemental is going to be a very popular cloth nappy. It is super slim and much quicker drying.

Bumgenius really must have listened to us cloth users because this is such a vast improvement. I wonder if my heavy wetter could out wee these hmmmm.....
I will have to break my buying ban, I think ;)
I'd be keen to see how they cope absorbency-wise with the trimmer profile. We do love the organics, but they take sooo long to dry - so would also be keen to see how the new ones fare here too.
