The middle of the three Rs “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” is anything but a mere Jan Brady stuck between older and younger siblings and struggling for attention. As any susty mother unfailingly loves all her children equally, reuse has an important roll to play in the greenification of diapering experiences for green babies and eco-moms alike — as well as for green dads like me!  One green mom Tereson Dupuy is actually the inventor of a reusable cloth diaper FuzziBunz and the founder of the company Mother of Eden.  Because FuzziBuns are not one-use, disposable items (see Susty’s post Disposable Diapers, What’s the Eco Problem?) they cut down on landfill waste, potential despoliation of drinking water and have the benefit of allowing consumers to make an initial investment in the product without being on the hook to purchase more on an ongoing basis.  Get the big poopy picture on diaper enviro probs and solutions here.

FuzziBunz  Cloth Diaper Features: Sturdy Snap Closures, Variety of Colors & Sizes

FuzziBunz cloth diapers are durable, patented, “pocket diapers” made with sturdy snap closures that require no maintenance. FuzziBunz diapers have no Velcro, so they won’t fray, collect lint or snag on baby’s clothes or clothes while in the washer/dryer  (see Susty’s post The Poop On gDiapers which notes some issues with velcro losing its grab). FuzziBunz come in a variety of colors and in sizes: x-small, small, medium, large and petite toddler. 

How the FuzziBunz  reusable diapering system works

    • Waterproof outer barrier keeps wetness contained.

    • Soft microfleece inner layer  touches baby’s skin, pulling away moisture to keep baby rash-free, dry, and comfortable. The microfleece is made of 100% Polyester and is custom-milled (the same fabric pioneered by Patagonia).

    • The patented pocket-style opening enables you to customize the absorbency to fit baby’s needs. Stuff the pocket with inserts, a pre-fold, or even a hand towel.

    • Larger, square tabs hold the diaper in place to prevent sagging and provide better grip during diaper changes.

    • The stretchier elastic around the legs provides maximum comfort for baby. 

    • The leg casings create “mini-gussets” to keep messes contained and leaks at bay.

    • The adjustable snap settings grow with your baby and enable you to adjust for your baby’s waist and leg sizes, again cutting down on the need to buy more product as baby grows.
