The following text is extracted from "Mother of Eden", the manufacturer of Fuzzi Bunz.
Some people wonder why we did the things we did while inventing this product. Well, let me explain the reasoning behind our design.
Why Fleece??
Fleece, especially micro fleece, quickly wicks moisture away from the baby and dries. Other fabrics were considered for this “stay dry” layer but none performed as well as fleece. It was also softest next to baby’s skin. We have worked for a year with a fabric manufacturer overseas to perfect this material and it is custom made for the Fuzzi Bunz diapers.
Why a pocket? Why not sew everything together?
One word...sanitation. We are very big on getting things 100% clean. Having multiple layers of material, plus a layer of fleece, plus a waterproof cover would have been conducive to bacteria breeding. We tested that and the result was horrid. There are two other benefits to the pocketed design. You can add or decrease the amount of absorbency for day or nighttime Since both parts are removable drying time is significantly decreases.
Really? No Stains?
No stains. Fleece is a polyester material and polyester does not hold stains. They also do not shrink due to this material unlike cotton diapers.
Easy to use?
Very easy. Since there is no additional stay dry liner, pins or cover, they are just as easy to use as a disposable. Dad's and grandparents rave about these diapers too.
What about inserts?
Fuzzi Bunz can successfully be used with any prefolded diaper or other absorbent insert. We have known people to use dishtowels in a pinch and they work great too. In April 2002, Mother of Eden introduced its companion insert for Fuzzi Bunz. A special micro-fiber terry cloth material that is highly absorbent and incredibly trim making the Fuzzi Bun even better.
What about caring for them?
Fuzzi Bunz are very easy care. No special attention is needed for them. There are a few do’s and don’ts but those are covered in literature that we will provide with the diapers.
How do they save money over other methods?
Baby is using less diapers because they are staying dryer longer. One size will fit for at least 6-12 months depending on size of baby and diaper. They cut on energy cost because less drying time is needed. Obvious savings over disposable.
