Have you seen the reviews out there for Little Comfort’s Bambee Cloth Nappy? There have been a slew of them which is a great thing because the more reviews the better prepped you the buyer are on the general consensus of this fitted diaper. Knowing that I had the same diaper to review I haven’t read any of the other reviews. I didn’t want to be swayed or influenced in my own review. I can’t wait to go and read my blogger friends’ reviews now that I’ve gotten mine out there too.
Little Comfort is an Ireland based company made by a mom. After trying to find a quality and affordable cloth diaper, she successfully created the Little Comfort cloth diaper. Known for its trim fit and reasonable price point Little Comfort’s sailed across the ocean blue and has landed Stateside. Green Team Enterprises Distribution is the exclusive USA Distributor of Little Comfort products.One thing that I noticed right away on the Bambee was how soft and plush the diaper was. The diaper hadn’t even been prepped yet but I loved the way it felt on my skin. I was excited to start prepping the diaper because I just knew that the more I washed it the fluffier it would get. Let me tell you it did not disappoint. See the below picture to see the comparison of fluffiness.
The LC Bambee is made from 80% Bamboo and 20% Polyester with a Bamboo/Cotton Fleece so it needs about four washes to be at its optimum performance level. That being said I wouldn’t use it as an overnight after your first washing. Mine has been washed about eight times now and it’s definitely a great overnight diaper. I also like that it comes in a natural looking color with no dyes used.
I think the most confusing thing about the Bambee is probably how it’s sized. It didn’t
make a ton of sense to me right off the bat and since my daughter is in the largest size on most cloth diapers I just assumed it would be the same for the Bambee. Let me tell you, they include directions for products for a reason and this one is no exception. Upon further investigation and after a few frustrated uses where the diaper was so big it was gapping around her legs, I realized that my peanut size daughter who weighed in at 20 lbs. at her 18 month appointment needed to be on the size 1 setting for the Bambee! No wonder it seemed to be falling off of her. The only complaint I have about the Bambee is the absence of hip snaps. Now, had I been using this diaper on my son three years ago I wouldn’t have even noticed the need for hip snaps. My daughter is tiny so naturally the absence of them is noticeable on her. I also really wanted hip snaps when I first started using the diaper but again, I admit that I had the sizing all wrong on that one so that was more user error than a product error.
What I love about the Bambee has got to be the feel of it against the skin. It probably isn’t normal to be doing diaper laundry, pulling out a freshly cleaned diaper and think to yourself, “Gosh, I wish I had underwear that felt like this.” I’ve thought that more than once while putting away my freshly cleaned Bambee. It’s also incredibly absorbent. My daughter sleeps well through the night about 12 –14 hours and we haven’t experienced a leaky diaper once! And you know what they say about wool covers and fitteds; the cover is only as good as the fitted. This fitted is great!
The price point for the Bambee is very reasonable. Most fitteds average between $16 on the low end to $30+ on the high end. You can buy the Bambee for $17.95 at select retailers.

ReplyDeleteYes, I like both. Prints and colors are fun but natural is nice to have around!
ReplyDeleteI like the natural color!! I do love prints and fun colors too, but natural colors look so cute on the baby and I love that they are gender neutral

ReplyDeleteI actually like both. I mean the colors/prints are just to cute, but I love the natural fibers.
ReplyDeleteIf the performance is good color/prints don't matter much but if I still have to choose I would prefer a print.
ReplyDeleteI prefer prints, but if it works, then ultimately I say, "It's a diaper and does it's job."

Depends on the diaper! For a fitted, I like the natural colors but for a pocket/AIO/AI2, I like bright colors and prints!
ReplyDeleteTo me the look of the diaper doesn't matter. It is going to be covered up with clothes anyways :)
ReplyDeleteI am really like both prints and natural colors. Both are super cute!
ReplyDeleteI like both prints and natural!
ReplyDeleteI don't mind the natural color, but I prefer more colors and prints b/c they are fun! :)
ReplyDeleteI prefer the natural bc I just dont like the thought of the dye in the prints of a fitted. plus no one sees it so it doesnt really matter wht it looks like
ReplyDeleteI love the natural look. It's more gender neutral.
ReplyDeleteI prefer fitteds with a natural color. I do not like fitteds that have colored soakers or liners.
ReplyDeleteTHe natural color is okay. I like colors, but I love that a natural diaper can be stripped without stripping color

I like prints and colors, but for a diaper that I'd use a cover with, natural is fine.
ReplyDeleteI love the natural color.
ReplyDeleteI prefer natural colored fitted.
ReplyDeleteThe natural color is great as long as the diaper works just as well.
ReplyDeleteI love the natural color. On a fitted it really doesn't seem to matter to me.
ReplyDeleteo prefer prints/colors, but a natural fitted seems to make sense!
ReplyDeleteI love the natural color but I must admit I am also a fan of prints!!
ReplyDeleteI do like prints, but a diaper is a diaper. If it works is what matters.
ReplyDeleteI like a mix of both. Natural is nice because there's no worry of it fading over time.
ReplyDeleteI prefer cute prints. I tend to have people ask about them more if my son is wearing a cute print
ReplyDeleteI kind of like the neutral colors because they don't show up as badly through clothes. But prints are fun too
