Frequently Asked Questions

Ok, now that you've discovered the world of cloth diapers, let us look at the most common questions that parents have in adopting cloth diapers.

1. How are Bumpadum cloth diapers different from traditional cloth nappies/langots tied around the baby’s bottom?
There is a world of difference between Bumpadum cloth diapers and traditional cloth nappies/langots. 

  • Bumpadum cloth diapers are waterproof and do not create a mess when peed/pooped in. Each diaper holds for about 3 - 4 hours during day time without any leaks. This means it can be used both at home and when outside during shopping and traveling!
  • Bumpadum Duet/Fitted diapers can be used overnight for most babies without any additional insert. If your child is a heavy wetter, an additional booster insert placed below the insert will keep your baby dry overnight.
  • Bumpadum Duet/Fitted cloth diapers keep your baby’s skin dry. The baby does not feel any wetness or discomfort. With Bumpadum Aviva diapers, you can use a fleece liner so that the baby feels dry.
  • Bumpadum cloth diapers come in attractive and fashionable prints and can be color or print co-ordinated with baby’s outfit.

2. Will my baby be comfortable in Bumpadum cloth diapers? Will he feel wet in cloth?
Your baby will be absolutely comfortable in Bumpadum cloth diapers. The fabric which touches your baby’s bottom in Duet/Fitted diapers is called micro fleece and doesn't let any wetness remain on the skin. All liquids are quickly absorbed by this layer and the surface remains dry to the touch.

3. How do Bumpadum diapers compare with disposable diapers?
Bumpadum diapers have most of the pros of disposable diapers, with none of the cons.
Bumpadum diapers are waterproof and keep the baby dry, just like disposable diapers. Bumpadum diapers last for 3 - 4 hours during day time, just like disposable diapers. 
The biggest difference is that once used, Bumpadum diapers would be washed and reused, whereas a disposable diaper would find its way to a landfill, adding to the garbage woes of the world. Yes, there is some effort involved in washing the diapers, but the effort is negligible when compared to the savings provided by Bumpadum cloth diapers - both economical and environmental.

11. What do I do if there are any defects in my diaper?
Contact us immediately at support@bumpadum.com along with photos of the defect.

12. What do I do once I receive my diapers? Can I use them immediately?
All of the fabrics we use are pre-prepped and need just one wash before use to get rid of any dust from the manufacturing process. Wash along with a regular load of clothes or by itself with a little detergent. Let the diaper dry at least 90% before washing it again. 

13. How do I care for my Bumpadum cloth diapers?
Wash your used diapers at least once in 2 days. We do not recommend storing used diapers for longer periods, since that will weaken the fabric and lead to more wear and tear over time. After washing ensure that your diapers are fully clean and have no remnant pee or detergent.
