As people without kids would say, what’s the big deal with diapers? Turns out, quite a lot actually! When I was pregnant with my son, I came across an article that talked about just how long it takes naturally, for a diaper to decompose. The answer, it takes 500 years! There is a lot to consider when you choose a diapering system. Will it be plastic? Will you go with cloth nappies that have disposable inserts? Or will you go all in and use cloth nappies that can be washed? What about rashes? There are too many questions!
Entering the already burgeoning diaper market is BumChum diapers. This 100% biodegradable diaper brand positions itself as diapers that work as the perfect midway between disposable diapers and reusable diapers.
When entrepreneur Amrita Vaswani became a new mom she noticed the ordeal every new mom goes through. To find a diaper that would not cause a rash and be easy on the pocket. Choosing the right brand in a budget was hard, and cloth diapering was a hassle with all the work that came with a small baby. That’s when she got the idea to make a diapering system that was affordable and safe for the baby.
What is it really?Â
BumChum diapers are disposable and/or washable diapers with a reusable cover. The diapers are plastic and chemical free and are made from biodegradable, non-fragrant bamboo fibre which makes them naturally antibacterial. And because it is fragrance-free, there is less worry of baby developing a diaper rash. The cotton insert can be changed or washed depending on how much it is soiled. These inserts are naturally compostable and less of a burden on the environment.
Why it would appeal to you
If you are a new mom in tropical India and are committed to go the first year without your child suffering from a diaper rash, then you seriously need to consider BumChum diapers. These diapers with their bamboo inserts and breathable cotton fabrics are just what the Indian doctors ordered. Traditionally, Indian grandmoms have always recommended using old cotton or muslin squares so baby’s skin can breathe easy. This brand uses that age-old wisdom and marries it with the convenience of today.
If you also can’t stand your child walking around in a mismatched diaper and a tee, then you will simply love BumChum’s diapering system of a matching Tshirt with every diaper. These ultra cute Tshirt designs make for one happy, chic baby!
If you are seriously thinking about cutting way back on disposable diapers but can’t commit to washing every single diaper your child uses, then try BumChum because these inserts can be washed or disposed off. A pack of 12 biodegradable inserts are sold separately and cost just Rs 150.
We also must admit that the side lining around the thighs looked very comfortable and was made of high-quality breathable fabric.
Also for new moms who want to refrain from diapering their new borns during the early days, BumChums nappies may sound perfect. These nappies are made of washable, unbleached, organic muslin also known as THE best fabric for a newborn baby’s sensitive skin. You can fasten these nappies with BumChum’s patented design silicone diaper pins (sold with the pack).
What Kidsstoppress thinks about it
While we are excited that more and more Indian moms are waking up to reusable, cloth diapers we wonder just how much the already saturated market can take. Still, we absolutely love the naturally antibacterial bamboo lining and breathable cotton fabric especially around the areas where babies are most prone to getting a diaper rash.
So if you are seriously considering going green but want to test the waters before you go all in, try BumChum diapers!
