Bunz v. Heiny
I am often asked to describe the performance and function of Fuzzi Bunz vs. Happy Heiny's. So, I've decided to put them on trial and see how the jury feels about it.
Fuzzi Bunz Defence (FBD): We know you have a choice when it comes to which reusable diaper to use on your baby. As moms ourselves, we just made your choice to use Fuzzi Bunz a whole lot easier by researching and listing what makes us better than the competition. Here's what we found: Fuzzi Bunz diapers have a SUPERIOR FASTENING SYSTEM. Our durable snaps stay strong wash after wash. You can use the same Fuzzi Bunz for all your babies without worry of our snaps breaking. Unlike diapers with Aplix (i.e., Velcro fasteners), there is no fraying or "stickies" on your Fuzzi Bunz diapers after washing. Fuzzi Bunz are made to stay strong for years and years – saving you money and hassle! Don't get us wrong when we say we're the ORIGINAL POCKET DESIGN because we have made lots of improvements and adjustments to our diapers over time. But the original pocket concept - created in January 1999 by our inventor Tereson Thomas - remains one of the most imitated reusable pocket diapers in the industry. BUYER BEWARE of me-too products! Fuzzi Bunz diapers have ADJUSTABLE WAIST AND LEG SETTINGS so you get a customized fit each and every time. In other words, if your baby has a slim waist and chubby legs, Fuzzi Bunz diapers will still fit your baby comfortably and snugly. Our patented design has REINFORCED LEG CASINGS to make sure your Fuzzi Bunz diapers don't leak! See that extra sewn line around the leg – that means we didn't skimp on taking the extra step in making sure our leg openings fit snugly around your baby's thigh. The super soft fleece and stretch elastic ensure that Fuzzi Bunz diapers do NOT leave any marks on your baby. Fuzzi Bunz diapers are EASY TO STUFF AND UN-STUFF. Our patented pocket design enables moms and dads to stuff the diaper with a microterry insert or other absorbent materials and then also easily shake out the insert into the diaper pail. No folds over the pocket forcing you to touch the inside of the dirty diaper - ick! Fuzzi Bunz remains the TRIMMEST FITTING DIAPER on the market today and its fit is most similar to disposable diapers - but without the guilt or waste associated with disposables. Our diapers are sized perfectly to hug your baby's curves and move with your baby's motions - ensuring a comfortable and happy baby...always! Happy diapering!
Whoof, that's some pretty heavy testimony. What says the defendant?
Happy Heiny's Defense (HHD): We use only custom milled fleece for our diapers. There are no leg casings, which make better fitting diapers and contain messes betterwithout leaving red marks on your baby’s legs. Should the fleece roll out? Yes! Do NOT try to roll the fleece in. The diapers will wick if the fleece is rolled in. They are designed so the only thing that touches your child's delicate skin is the soft fleece. Happy Heinys are available in a variety of solid colors and fun prints. Happy Heinys solids have been tested for 12 hours or more at night with absolutely no wicking for most babies. The solids have a 100% poly laminated outer layer and will work better overnight. Happy Heinys Prints have a laminated 100% cotton outer layer and work best for daytime use. They may wick if used overnight for heavy wetters.
Not bad, certainly not as heavy hitting as the FBD, but I'd be willing to give them a try, so I took it to the web: www.diaperpin.com is one of the definitive resources for all things cloth. While Fuzzi Bunz claims to be the #1 rated diaper in North America, in terms of rankings and ratings, Happy Heiny's actually ranks higher on this particular site.
Certainly, in my experience, Fuzzi Bunz are the most popular diaper I carry. We have a number of them in our personal diaper stash as well and have had nothing but great feedback from the customers who have purchased them. Having said that, we also have many Happy Heiny's pocket diapers in our stash. They perform equally well, actually fit our daughter better, are trimmer when double-stuffed (for heavy wetters) and work great for us overnight. My husband far prefers Happy Heiny's over Fuzzi Bunz. I don't know whether it's the included insert, the reputation or the word of mouth that makes Fuzzi Bunz much more popular than Happy Heiny's
