Up on the blog today is one of the newest cloth diapers on the market. The Bebeboo Diaper is a pocket cloth diaper that’s kind of like Funky Fluff or Lalabye Baby. I think Bebeboo Diapers has the potential to go places, so let’s check out this new product. The current trend is to review all the cloth diapers from the brands I chat with over on the cloth diaper podcast, and I’m totally okay with that because I’m getting to try out some amazing cloth diapers and learn the stories behind them. It couldn’t get any better.
- last week’s review of Snap-Ez cloth diapers from the podcast.

Disclosure: I was compensated to do this cloth diaper review, but I keep my opinons honest and truthful. A new version of this diaper has been released. This is the original.
All About Bebeboo Cloth Diapers
Bebeboo Diapers is owned by a Phillipino Mama living in Las Vegas, Nevada. Thea owns and operates this small business cloth diaper brand while doing her other job and raising three kids.
She spent over a year trying to find the right manufacturer and products to make her cloth diapers. These diapers are made in a small factory setting and have all the child safety regulation they need to make this process work. Thea is actively learning and going through the motions to be as legit as she can.
There are only two styles of Bebeboo Diapers at the moment: regular size and petite (aka newborn), as well as a few wetbag options including this medium size one with double straps.
You can currently purchase Bebeboo Diapers directly with free shipping in the USA on all orders over $35.
Bebeboo Diaper
The Bebeboo Diaper is an all-in-two system (AI2) that many of my readers might familiarize with the Funky Fluff or Lalaybe Baby. It is made out of PUL.It is a three rise setting diaper with a double waist snap and upper hip snap that fits approximately 10-35 pounds. Bebeboo Diaper does have a crossover snap for small babies or rolling up dirty cloth diapers.
On the inside, you’ll find a pocket opening at both the front and the back, with a tummy panel. The pocket is made of a stay dry liner much like a microsuede material found in the bumGenius 5.0. There’s a single snap at the back of the diaper for the insert.
Bebeboo Diapers does come with a 5 layer bamboo insert. This insert is mighty absorbent and features a variety of snap locations for snapping down to the perfect fit.
First Impressions
I’m really impressed with this diaper when it landed on my doorstep. First, she shipped it in a hot pink flamingo polymer which totally deserves to be recognised as AWESOME. Second, I pulled the diaper out of the package, I instantly thought of Funky Fluff & Lalabye Baby which are two styles of cloth diapers I already favour. So much so, I did a little video comparison.
I am really happy with the fit of this cloth diaper. It’s definitely a diaper that fits true to size, and not small and not super big. The Bebeboo Diaper is just right and at 23 pounds (I think) and 21 months, she’s comfortable on the middle rise. This gives us the best fit in the legs and around the bum.

She does have snaps off centre, which might drive you batty, but that’s what her body shape is with most diapers and gives her a great fit. She’s still snapped down a rise setting. I did try full rise (that’s typically how she wears the rest of our stash) but it was a hot mess fit. This diaper has a ton of room to grow with her as she gets bigger.
Truth be told, I really do prefer the fit of this diaper over Lalabye and Funky Fluff. I would much rather grab this diaper than one of those, and that was evident of my choices during the week on which diaper I would grab first.
We haven’t had any leaks with it, and I believe the insert is incredibly absorbent and does the job. It does feel thicker, but I didn’t find it was bulky. It is not the trimmest thing around town, but ending the obsession over trim cloth diapers is a conversation for another time. It is just right. No leaks, no wet legs, and a great fit is what’s really important.
I love the Bamboo Insert because providing people with the right tools to cloth diaper is the key to their success. And in my podcast interview, Thea talked about how she got to the bamboo insert and that it really was the best tool for this cloth diaper. The Bamboo inserts mean I can use this diaper HOWEVER I WANT. I don’t have to use it as a pocket, I can simply put the insert on top of the diaper and use it like a cover (as I typically do, because I really hate stuffing pocket cloth diapers with my monster hands).
- I also totally love how I can snap this insert down to any size I need it to be.
Less Than Impressed…
Complete transparency, I lost a snap on my insert while taking photos of the diaper. I also have noticed some edge wear along the insert within the first week of owning. This is a thick insert for a cloth diaper, and I suspect it might be a touch thick for the snap to stay strong and for the stitching. The thickness of this absorbent also means it takes forever to dry.
These flaws totally suck, but I also want to extend an arm of fairness to Bebeboo Diapers. Just because the insert I have fell apart, doesn’t mean this isn’t a quality product or a product that will continue to evolve and improve. We are all humans in the process of creating this products and flaws happen. I know the story behind this brand, and I know she’s working with a manufacturer new to cloth diapering. I didn’t ask for a replacement because I’m in Canada and shipping is ridiculous and that’s not a burden I want to place on this small business owner. The diaper shell is the part that really matters for me, and so far it’s holding up great. If something changes, I will let you and Bebeboo diapers.
But, FOREVER to dry, kinda sucks because nobody has the patience for that. It frustrates me when an insert isn’t fully dry when you take out of the dryer and the rest of the load is. This also happens for me with the Funky Fluff Inserts, the AppleCheek Bamboo Training Pants and a few other things.
Top Hip Snaps – this is my least favourite location for a hip snap because I find it’s useless. For some kids, the diaper wings will still sag, and you’ll get issues, especially if you don’t have a tight fit. I do prefer a lower snap for that function. Low snaps do make it harder for thick chunky thighs, it’s easy to pinch the baby then. Sometimes, a diaper doesn’t need any hip snaps, so really mixed opinions on this.
My Recommendation?
I would recommend we all give Bebeboo Cloth Diapers a chance and continue to support this mom in passion to create affordable and durable cloth diapers. Yes, I had flaw in my insert, but I her passion and motives make me want to continue to support this mama and watch her grow and flourish her company.
- If you are looking for something to try instead of your Funky Fluff or Lalabye Baby then try this.
- If you’re looking for an all in two cloth diaper try this.

This might just be the diaper you’re looking for to solve your diaper dreams, and it is definitely stashed worthy.

Regardless, let us know your experience with Bebeboo diapers in the comments, and I can’t wait to see what else comes from Thea in the months to come.
