Bibs we like? Bumkins vs Better Bib

[WhiteIris]

Is it worth investing in one or two long-sleeved bibs if you're like me and hate cleaning up a sticky baby after every single meal? I hate it when DD gets foods stains on her clothes too. Has anyone tried long-sleeve Bumkins? What about A Better Bib? I know some people say ABB, being fabric, is better at absorbing liquids. But the Bumkins you can wipe and reuse - no laundering required. Yay. THen there are the sleeveless, high-coverage alternatives, like the Baby Bjorn and the Kiddopotamus. I don't want to waste money on something that won't get used.

I loved the long sleeved Bumkins. I got 3 on clearance so there was always one that was dry. After meals I'd just rinse the whole bib in the sink. If the meal was drippy, the pockets in front seemed to catch the drips. And when DD got to be a toddler, she wore the same bibs as smocks for painting.
