It is stretchy, but not as stretchy as AWJ. I find I have to do up our AWJ diapers a bit tighter than our bamboo models! Another benefit to AWJ is that it is pretty resistant to stains.īamboo terry is super soft … you’ll want to rub your (clean) diapers on your face! This is the same material from which Funky Fluff inserts are made. This material has a “stay-dry” effect, making it especially good for babies who are sensitive to wetness. One-size Funky Fluff diaper shells come with either an AWJ or bamboo inner.ĪWJ is a polyester fabric with tiny holes, very much like what you’d see on a sports jersey. What’s the difference between AWJ & Bamboo?

The newborn diaper is designed to fit from 4–12 lbs, but I have seen it fitting on even larger babies! You can check out Simply Mom Bailey’s review here. I do not have a newborn in my entourage on which to test this diaper yet, but I’ve seen some very positive feedback from Funky fans! Note that the newborn Funky Fluff is only available in bamboo and comes with two bamboo inserts that can be snapped in at the back. The one-size Funky Fluff has four rise adjustments.īrand new in 2017, Funky Fluff also has a newborn diaper! Best described as “Honey, I shrunk the Funky Fluff!”, it looks just like its one-size cousin … just … miniature! It has an umbilical snap-down for baby’s comfort before the stump falls off and two sets of rise snaps to accommodate growth in height. Thanks to the tall rise, Cub still fit his Funky Fluff until he was potty-trained, when he was over three years old and 35 lbs.

Little Miss Cub fit nicely into her Funky Fluff almost from birth (I say “almost” only because we didn’t try them on until she was about a week old). Thanks to the crossover snaps at the waist and the narrow crotch, many newborns fit perfectly in the one-size version around 7–8 lbs. The one-size Funky Fluff Lux diaper fits from about 7–35 lbs. If you’ve got questions about your “vintage” Funky Fluff diapers, head over to their Official Fan Group and ask the experts!

The diapers released in February 2017 are all lot number 201601. In case you’ve been shopping second-hand, to make sure you’ve got the same version of Funky Fluff Lux that I am talking about for this review, check the tag under the front flap of your diaper. *Note that new Love Bugs have arrived on store shelves! Yay! All new diapers are lot #201601, in case that’s the kind of information you need!.All prints and colours are now available in bamboo or athletic wicking jersey (AWJ).Four previous colours have returned, with slight differences in hue given the new supplier (Yellow Submarine, Maverick, Love Bug* and Aloha).One new colour has been introduced (La Vie en Rose).Three new, exclusive prints have been introduced (Ice, Ice Baby Funkometry and Thunderstruck).Diaper pockets are much easier to stuff, inserts are just slightly narrower and also wash up nicer (no baconing).A new manufacturer and fabric supplier were chosen out of necessity: PUL is thicker than the last batch of pre-Bummis diapers and diaper cut may be slightly different than previous models, but I’m noticing no difference in fit.Funky Fluff disposable liners have been replaced by Bummis disposable liners.Stay-dry (suede cloth) inner diapers have been discontinued.With Bummis now at the helm, a few things have changed: As Funky’s social media manager, all I could do was try to hold everyone’s attention until the new fluff arrived! (I was feeling as impatient as the rest of you!) It wasn’t until October that the announcement of the merger could be revealed, and it took until late February for the new diapers to arrive on store shelves. As Funky’s original owners, Kathy and Tricia, handed the reigns over to Canadian cloth-diaper veteran Bummis, Funky Fans patiently awaited an explanation for the lack of inventory and then the arrival of new prints and colours. There was a bit of a Funky Fluff drought in summer 2016.
