Green Earth covers

[KrisM]

We need more covers as our Bumpys are wicking on us. The Prorap fits great on her (didn't fit DS). So, I'm thinking Green Earth, since they're softer, right? Where is a good place to get some quickly? She's about 12.5 lbs with chunky thighs - should I get small or medium?

thanks!

Mediums. My DD is also 12.5 and she has just about outgrown the smalls in the rise.

I've always gotten mine from www.lilbunz.com . I don't know if she's got any in stock, though. I agree, get Mediums. They last forever.
eta: none at lil bunz.

I found some here:

I ordered something from there, and had a good experience.

Thanks. I had checked Lilbunz and found nothing and wasn't familiar with other places that came up with Google.

Thanks for the info.

Kris,

Can you report back later on how the Green Earth are working? We're having the same wicking problems with Bumpys. It stinks because he's starting to outgrow his small Proraps but the Bumps fit great.

Just curious...are you using Bumpy Day or Night? We're using Day but I was wondering if Nights would make any difference.

We used mostly GE covers with DS, especially when he was young. I'd start w/ a medium as well. I think DS went right to smalls at 3 weeks and those were quickly outgrown if I remember right.

I think I bought from juliestuff? She also was helpful to me with some quality issues I had when GE redid their covers...the aplix was so strong that on two of the newer style, the it was ripping off the soft part of the aplix from the diaper itself within only a few uses (at least, that's what it looked like to me).

Apparently she and GE were surprised at this, and asked me to send back the covers so they could figure out what was going on. It must have been a fluke as I never heard much more about it, but they did refund me. It happened to two covers both after using them only a handful of times. My old style ones were fine durability-wise.

Anyway, they are IMO softer than proraps and overall worked the best for us out of the inexpensive covers we tried.
