**Updated**

I’m feeling very reporter-ish right now. Currently, I’m camping at Garner State Park in south Texas but I *have* to report something to you!

Any typos must be ignored because I am writing this on the phone.

There’s a huge launch going in today over at Softbums cloth diapers. Already I’m a huge fan of Softbums because of their amazing toggle elastic adjuster in the legs.

The mom behind the business is about as sweet and dedicated as they come.

I’ll get to the point since one of my normal posts would take me 5 years to type on this.

FIT:

The most customized fit you’ll get with a one-sized diaper.

The Velcro gives you a snug waist fit but is easily undone by toddlers.

ABSORBENCY:

After one prep (which is not fully prepped!) I began using the system. I first used the bamboo pod. I left ut in Sterling for 3 hours. The pod was wet but the shell dry.

I then got him ready for bed by adding the fleece-topped microfiber pod with a doubler (newborn) pod.

After 14 hours we had no leaks, Sterling was dry and the shell wasn’t soaked.

EASE OF USE:

Getting the correct fit with the toggle isn’t difficult but it does take some time. Once you get it where you want it though you won’t have to mess with it until baby requires it.

The toggle can be accessed through the front small slit and through the wide pocket at the back.

Changing out the pods is easy. Just unsnap and snap in a new one. If the shell gets damp you can lay it out to dry for next change.

OMNI DIAPER FEATURES:

– Stuff it! Snap it! Cover it!
– The first Muti-Purpose Pocket Ever!  It’s a Pocket Diaper AND an All-In-2
AND a Cover!
– Huge pocket opening is easy to stuff
– Larger size means it fits even BIGGER toddlers up to 40 lbs, yet still
fits a tiny Newborn with Slide²Size
– Compatible with the same Pods as the Echo, as well as almost any other
diaper insert!
– Choice of DryTouch or Organic
– Use as an all-in-2 for the most economical diapering system available!
– Use as a pocket for a super absorbent and bulletproof diaper so easy your
daycare can use it!
– Use as a cover over flats, prefolds or nearly anything else you already
have for a worry-free night!

OMNI

Softbums was versatile before now you have yet another option. I’ve always recommended Softbums and I continue to stand behind that!

  5. I’ve not tried a softbums diaper, but I love the idea of the slide 2 size adjustment! I think it’s a wonderful concept!

  8. I’m excited to try this diaper because I love that it’s both a pocket and an ai2. Talk about being versatile! That’s awesome.

  11. My favorite feature of the Echo is the toggles to adjust the elastic – I’m so excited they kept that on the new Omni.

    jdeemarie @ gmail.com

  13. I love that you have multiple ways to use it. I often go between pockets, AIO/AI2 and fitteds, so this is like a dream diaper for me

  15. I’m excited to try this new omni diaper for its versatility! I’m new to cloth diapering and it seems like an easy to use product!
    kohines at gmail dot com

  20. I am wondering if this system would be better than Flip. I currently have a Flip but am looking to add to my stash and really like the concept of Softbums. Has anyone else had a chance to compare these two systems?

    • Hmm. That’s tough. I like them both for different reasons. I think it be best to have both :) Having some diversity is a good thing.

  37. I am new into cloth diapering and love your website to do background research. Thank you! I went to Softbums website to check out the OMNI and it looked like there was only one color available and said “was not for sale” or something like that. So are they just promoting the diaper right now and it will be in production later? Thanks for any help!

  43. Aloha Autumn!

    My name is Kristi. I just wanted to say that I LOVE your reviews. Because of you I purchased Softbums several months ago for my son and I’m so in LOVE with this diaper! This diaper is so easy to use. It’s great for baby, and great for the enviroment!! I love that I don’t have to stuff it and I can use the shell multiple times! I’m looking forward to trying the new OMNI!!

  56. I love the way our Softbums’ Echo shell fits my 1 year old. Perfect customized fit without the aplix rubbing on his stomach the way BGs do.

  61. Following Softbums Blog & your blog via email. Already left a comment about Softbums …
    but forgot to write in my name….the genius I am.

  82. I like that you can reuse shell if it does not get wet or soiled, and the adjustable sizes are great

  88. I like the toggle adjustable leg openings. why doesn’t every CD have someething like that? Genius!

  92. I follow Follow Softbums’ blog & I haven’t tried them yet since I am still pregnant for another month. But it definitely sounds like a diaper system I would like to try. The toggle adjustments sound very handy.

  97. I have used Softbums on my daughter since she was a newborn. She is now 8 months old and I love them! Only cloth diaper I’ve ever used. Would love to try an Omni!

  100. I’ve actually been reading your blog for a few months now. I subscribed to your feed back in July I believe.

  101. I’m just entering the world of cloth diapering and I’m trying to find a good match for my guy. He’s super tall and thin, so I’ve been having a little trouble finding dipes that work for him. Can’t wait to try a Softbum!

  102. 1 – Sarah Chiles
    2 and 3 – Follow on Blogger and Facebook
    4 – I recently bought a SoftBums Echo and love the DryTouch Pods and that you get 3 with each shell. They are easier to carry around when we are out and about since I don’t need to change the shell after a wet diaper – just the pod. The Nuclear Pumpkin is a great color, too!

  111. I love how SoftBums fits babies from the time they’re teeny until they’re toddlers and that you can reuse the cover by unsnapping the pod.

  114. liked you on fb
    added you on twitter
    I’d love to try Softbums simply bc all the cloth diapers i own only fit up to 35 lbs. What am going to do when my fast growing little guy passes 35?!? I really like that Softbums goes up to 40 lbs!

  123. Jennie A
    new All about cloth diapers follower on FB
    follow Softbums on FB
    I like that you can use it many different ways…snap it, stuff it,cover it!!

  125. I currently use exclusively SB with my daughter. I love the toggles, the trim fit, and the adjustable absorbancy. At night, we use the nighttime/large insert with a NB pad, and we’ve had ZERO leaks!

  138. I love softbums the most from my whole collection of dipes. They have the best fit and are so super trim while being absorbent!! I’ve recommended them to many mommas. I send my friends straight to the BEST diaper!!

  141. I have 3 kids in diapers right now and I like that the OMNI have pods that you can snap in and don’t have to stuff. I’m trying to go for ease with diapers right now.

  148. I have an Ooga print snap SoftBums diaper. (I don’t see snaps on their site anymore…hmmm) I’ll be honest and admit I bought it for the print. I love the Ooga print. But once I got it I fell in love with how soft and trim it is!!

  153. 2. I like Soft Bums they are by far the fav dipe around my house. Hubby and grandma friendly. And Cute to Boot

  158. Tiffany Smith here. I love the quick n easy customization of Softbums with the leg toggles—they’re better than leg gussets once you get that perfect fit!

  159. I don’t have any Softbums currently, but would love to try them. I think my main draw is the fact that you can snap or stuff them. I also like the ability to use from bitty baby to 40 pounder!

  161. With the new Omni, I love that it can be used as an AIO or hybrid diaper. I’m due in Feb and still trying to figure out what I want to do.

  166. I have tried SO many different types of cloth diapers and am really looking forward to trying out the Omni! I say HOORAY for the toggle feature – what an awesome idea!

  171. Ashley S. – your site has helped a ton as I decide what cloth diapers to go with for Baby Judah, due November 4th!

  172. 4. I am awaiting my first child, so I don’t have firsthand experience with any types yet, but it seems like the toggle that allows adjusting the fit around the legs is a great idea.

  175. I love the toggle feature on Softbums. Also, they are so cute! I don’t have kids yet, but am hoping it will be really soon, and am planning to have a Softbums stash!

  181. i left one entry with the original post, and I accidently posted it twice! I just wanted to let you know so you can delete the duplicate if that’s not allowed. here’s my second entry:
    2. follow softbums blog

  186. 1. I would love to try the adjustable elastic. We have had good luck with the one-size Fuzzi Bunz, but the Omni looks even more versatile!

  188. I have made all my cloth diapers and am looking for something to expand my collection so I love the flexibility of a pocket or a diaper cover .

  196. I love the toggle style! This is soo cool! Been getting all kinds of great comments on my cloth diapers. Everyone is amazed at what modern cloth diapering is like.

  197. I follow all about cloth blog already and I love the WAY the Omni is a one-size. It is pure genius. I can’t wait to try it!
    Emily Hicks

  198. I am a new facebook follower. And really excited about being in the contest. I am new to cloth and haven’t used these diapers before but would love to give them a try!

  199. Haven’t tried these, but would love to win them! The adjustable leg sound awesome and I love the pocket + snap-in liner idea!

  200. What I love most about softbums is that it will fit till 40 lbs. My son has been around 35 lbs since he was a bit over a year old, and many OS diapers don’t fit him.

  204. I love the trimness of softbums – one of the trimmest diapers I own! Can’t wait to try out these new ones

  206. I like them because of what I have heard of their ease of use, they are very earth friendly, and economically a good investment.

  207. 1. Nicole

    2 & 3. Follow.

    4. I think it’s great that the diaper has so many uses and depending on mood, or who will be using the diaper we can tailor fit the diaper to their needs.

  208. Cant wait to try the new softbums Omni!! currently I use Thirsties, G Pants and Flip and the new Omni sounds like the best of all worlds!!!!

  211. What I love about Softbums: I love how you can use the shell up to 3-4 times before it needs to be washed. That makes it more cost-effective than AIOs. I also love how slim they are, my daughter doesn’t have to wear clothes that are a size bigger.

  220. Thank you thank you thank you!! I just followed all your links and found some great blogs, as well as entered the contest for the new OMNIs as often as I could (I even watched the video the day it came out–I was so interested! LOL) I just wanted to thank you for opening this up to so many of us moms who need to hear more about items like this. You posted the other day about using cloth wipes and we are now on day 2 of them and LOVING it! My twins actually smile, and my trash can has been empty for two days of smelly wipes! Love it!

  227. I have twins (adorable girls) and we have been following your blog since their birth. We have also chosen to cloth diaper, and I love it! Most other moms think I am crazy but I think my little ones are happier in cloth than they ever were in disposables! I have followed many of your recommendations, and just want to say thanks from the bottom of my heart…you made this whole process a LOT easier–especially since my last baby is now 10 and cloth has changed a LOT since then! Blessings to you!

  228. I follow All About Cloth Diapers and Softbums on Facebook and Twitter. Also posted links for both of the above on my blog.

  229. I can’t wait to order the new Softbums Omni. This is my first time cloth diapering, baby #3 is actually due TODAY!! I’ve been ordering a few diapers here and there when I can and the Softbums Eco is one of the diapers in my stash just because of all the wonderful review it has recieved. I simply can’t wait to try the Omni on the new little one, I’m sure it will become one of my favorites!

  230. Softbums sound better than my current system. DS wakes up every morning wet through =(. I definitely need to find a better overnight diaper.

  231. Im having my second baby in November and I think cloth diapers would be great! I dint use them with my first but would loveeeee to do it this time they would be put to GREAT use! What I love the most about the cloth diapers is the cheap ,economical impact they make on our wallets and environment!!

  233. 4. I like the versatility of the new diaper and although I haven’t tried a AI2, I think the snap in feature would be nice.

  236. I’m addicted to cloth diapers so I’m always up to try another style that has good reviews. Thanks!

    ALL DONE :D
    # Tell me what you love most about Softbums either through personal use or from reviews.
    From what i can see on your review above.. i’m loving how it’s super versatile and i would love to try it on my HEAVY wetting 4 year old.. she’s potty trained during the day, but has seriously wet nights. wonder if this could solve the problem!

  243. I would love to try these diapers!!! I love that they’re a one size fit that looks like it would really work that way. And I love the green color. I’ve got a little one on the way and it would be awesome to launch with these. Crossing my fingers!

  244. I’m trying to transition from disposable diapers to cloth diapers for my son. I tried prefolds and covers when he was first born but I had to change his outfit, and often his sheets, with nearly every diaper change. I’ve recently been looking into the cloth diapers again and want something like the OMNI diaper with extra pods, a pocket, that’s an (AIO or) AI2. I’m super excited about this diaper now! Thanks so much for sharing!

  251. I’m Becca from Texas, and I just want to win the birth to potty pack! The IPad would be great I’m sure, but I need those diapers.
    barefeetonthedashboardATgmailDOTcom

  252. Cool! I’ve heard such good things about these regarding their ease of use and performance. I would definitely like to try this diaper.

  253. Hi, I would love to win the diapers(s)! I have a 6 week old and a 18 month old, also a 3 year-old that needs a diaper at night, so a one size, versatile diaper would be helpful in our house! Thank you for such a neat opportunity!

  254. Amazing!! The versitily of this diaper looks awesome, and I can’t wait to try out the adjustable elastic! Regular one-size with the snap adjustments just aren’t customizable enough, the toggle should make it a snap for a much better fit!

  255. I have been using SoftBums since my little guy was a few weeks old. I love them! I have a few other cloth diapers in the rotation, but I mainly use the Softbums. I used disposable diapers on my other 2 children and now regret that I didn’t do cloth. They are so easy! I like the Softbums because of the snap out liner. It just makes more sense to me. I am excited about the pocket diaper now as well, too, mainly for the flexibility. I also love all the colors! The bright ones are my favorites!

  256. I am so excited to try the softbums! They sound like they are very absorbant and I love the versitality!

  261. I follow you on FB and Twitter (wait, are these supposed to all be ONE entry, or do we post separately for each one we do?)

  274. My nanny just put my 26 lb-er in my 1 soft bum last night. She didn’t know I didn’t have it in my “day” pile of diapers. I was so tired from date night and it was late so I didn’t bother changing him. 8-9 hours later the insert was soaked but the PUL was dry! It was amazing. My 13 mthr knows how to soak thru 3 inserts including my hemp and the fact the soft bums contained it was AMAZING!!!! Plus it’s one of my favorite vibrant green diapers. The diaper I have is easy to wash, easy to use and now will be in my nightime rotation!!!!

  281. This are just what I was looking for! I like the versitility and abilityt to reuse the shells for more than on diaper change.

    Please enter me!

  285. I am so excited about the diaper’s versatility! This giveaway is so exciting. Is it wrong to only want to win the diapers? I just want a bunch of the Omni dipes. Lol.

  289. What an awesome event! I am currently pregnant and have been researching cloth diapering options. This is just on time! summerleo105 @ gmail.com

  291. I LOVE Softbums! They are the reason I decided to start CDing my 17 month old son. Can’t wait to try the Omni!

  308. I’m due to deliver my fourth child at the end of the month. I dabbled in cloth diapers (just prefolds and covers) with my third, but am more committed this time around. (Got a nice stash of fuzzibunz as hand-me-downs and have invested in a smattering of one-size diapers to test out, too.) I’d love to win!

  309. I’d probably try all three options, including a disposable insert perhaps. And if the shell doesn’t get wet, I’ll use it as an ai2 then reuse it as a pocket!

  317. I’m a brand new consumer to the cloth diapering world. My baby girl gets so many diaper rashes which is why I’m considering the change. A friend of mine LOVES softbums and the toggle adjustable is really interesting. I am hoping to try out their new Onni line!

  318. might be nice to try something new cant wait for more info, enter me into the drawing please

  320. Woo Hoo! I’ve been using prefolds & self made wool wraps only so far, would love to win one of these! =]
    OR does anyone have dipes/covers they’d like to give away or for cheap to my low income family? Doesn’t hurt to ask, right? ;0)

  322. I am soo excited to try this new line! I already love this diaper as is and now it can be a pocket!! The trimness of the diaper is amazing but I’m wondering if this will make it more bulkier? I hope not.

  323. I am excited to try the dipe – – I like the elastic feature on the old one… the 3-way multi-use isn’t that impressive to me.

  327. I am so excited about the new softbums! Can’t wait to try them. Would LOVE to win and what great odds! Thanks all!

  328. I love the features on the new OMNI ! the toggle sizing feature looks very promising for those of us with different sized little ones to diaper!

  329. I have all softbums for my CD system. I didn’t want a whole pile of different diapers, so I bought a whole bunch and tried out a few while i decided if I liked them. They worked very well, so I kept them all! My favorite is my nuclear pumpkin echo shell with a super dry touch pod in them!

  330. I’m looking forward to trying the new Omni. I love a diaper with flexibility. I like the AI2 butmy husband likes pockets – we both win! Can’t wait until they release it in the super cute Softbums prints!

  331. Those are awesome! I watched the video. I don’t think the blog link is correct. It takes me to a blog that hasn’t been updated since 2007. I can imagine that if you’re doing this on your phone mistakes are bound to happen. I’m looking forward to a corrected link when you get home!

  332. My 9 month olds are already figuring out the whole velcro thing but I’m not stressed about that. Once I get pants or something on them it is okay. I love softbums….can’t wait to get the omni.

  333. I want to enter on your blog, but not sure what the rules/options are, so I’m leaving a comment that I’ve watched the video and left comments on the “I Love CLoth” blog

  335. Count me in!
