Cloth Diaper Brands in India.........their Products and Review

post contd. from cloth diapers in India review part 1

What are the brands available in India?
As far as I know following brands are available on online sites(there cud be some more)

EDIT:A LOTS OF NEW AND GOOD BRANDS ARE AVAILABLE NOW IN 2019, THIS POST WAS WRITTEN IN 2013.
SO i AM LINKING THEM DOWN.YOU CAN CHECK THEM OUT TOO.

Bumgenious diapers
have some really good cloth diapers in beautiful colours from bright to neutral colors, fun prints .they come in both Velcro and snap closure.velcro closure is easy with babies who don't remain still but babies can open them easily too once they learnt the method. they also have butterfly closure system to provide a comfortable, trim fit.
bumgenious diapers comes in three styles-

Bumgenious 4.0 pocket  diaper-  
Its a pocket diaper, as I have explained above, u have to stuff the pocket with insert first before diapering your baby.one of the good feature is that there diapers comes with two inserts, a newborn insert for newborns and a one-size insert for your older baby.giving a newborn insert is a great feature as inserts comes with other brands sometimes can't fit to small ,lean newborn babies.

BumGenius Freetime
Putting this diaper on your baby is as simple as putting on  disposable ones. Quite a wonder!!
this one is not a pocket diaper that means u don't have to do any stuffing before .they have "no-stuff" system with semi-attached inserts .
this diaper is great with babies in daycare and especially with grand parents who find it little difficult to understand the simple functioning of modern cloth diapers. 
BumGenius Elemental 
This one is similar to above one,with no stuffing job to do , only difference is that the inner part of diaper (that is next to your babys bottom) is made of 100% organic cotton fiber.(in other cloth diapers , inner part is made of suede lining ).
so if u r looking for all organic this one is for you.

Flip diapers comes as a diaper cover (they are not pocket diapers) diaper cover has both snap and hook and loop closure ,Inserts have to be bought separately.one of the best thing with flip is u have option to change your insert type.Even u can use normal cotton nappies or cotton prefolds  with it .diaper cover is compatible with all three type of flip inserts available.
I like this type of system too, u don't have to change diaper cover everytime , simply change the spoiled insert and wipe clean the diaper cover. that means you can use the same cover again if it is not spoiled. Quite useful with newborns.
insert is simpply tucked under the flap cover of diaper cover before diapering.
insert types available with flip are -
stay dry- for sensitive babies
organic for organic babies
disposables

Bumchum diapers are Indian cloth diapers that are available in three styles-
bumchum fitted (pocket diape and two inserts)
bumchum cowboy(diaper cover and insert)
bumchum natural (for sensitive babies)


I have already written a post on them.
see  bumchum diaper review.


Cloth diaper shop- they sell their products thru facebook page. their diapers comes in many types and prints.

UPDATE -I found some other brands that are available in India -

Charlie Banana-read a lot of good comments abt it.
Apple Cheek
BumBerry-quite effective if price is compared to other brands,read some really good reviews abt it too.


Whats the price ? and why they are so costly?
Bumgenious cost around Rs1600 (approx.)
flip diapers                       Rs   1205 (approx.)
bumchum                         Rs   700 to 1000+(approx.)
Bumberry                         Rs   780
Charlie Banana                 RS  1499
Applecheeks                     Rs    1490


Inserts either comes with diaper or bought separately
They range from Rs 150 to Rs 1000 (differ from brand to brand)

yes, I also find them little costly too.
I don't know why they are? (may be cause of fabric or else),But seriusly  1000 Rs for one diaper seems so costly,that thinking abt buying 10 of them might cost in 5 figures.
once my cousin who just wanted to buy one or two diaper for her 2 +  yr  old daughter who accidentally  do bed wetting in winters. whn I told her the price, her mouth remained open on hearing the price.so I hope its price might reduce in future.

But for a mother of newborn or who spent plenty of money on disposables, cloth diapers are a good option.A pack of 50 disposables diapers that cost around Rs500  is used with in 10 days and have to be bought again .But with cloth diapers it will cost only once and can be used for some years.sometimes, even I wonder how much money I have saved on disposables !!!!

Are they really effective?
yes. I can surely say that they are very affective Babies skin remain dry and without any leakage(accidental leakage is very rare ,only if not put on properly or not changed with in 3 to 5 hrs(depending upon type).
 
From where do I purchase them?
They are available on lot of online purchasing site,u can easily find them below

  1. Actually if you add up the cost of disposables over two years and the cost of having 20 cloth diapers, the cloth diapers are much cheaper. Plus add the health problems associated with the chemicals in disposable diapers (dioxins, polyacrylate gel), I think cloth diapers is the smarter and cheaper choice. Just that it is a one time investment. I have never understood the Indian mentality of penny wise and pound foolish.

    Plus potty training is done by 2 years in cloth diapers vs. 3-4 years in disposables!
