You have no idea the amount of trouble and time (FYI, almost HALF A YEAR) taken for both the company sponsor and I to be able to do a review for this cool product:
Before I begin my review, I'd like to give a note of thanks to Casey from Bummas, for all the trouble taken to get this product to reach me safely. It took a total of THREE attempts just to get this cool product safely into our hands (I hope the earlier two falls into the hands of someone who makes good use of it, I totally dread the thought of someone stealing my parcel!)
Now in my experience of doing products and book reviews, I personally have not encountered anyone as helpful as Casey in trying and trying and trying and not give up hope in this. Well, what can I say, this company is such an awesome one to work with!
Bummas come in 5 varieties of colors and they are:
|
The Wild Ones
|
The Girls
|

|

I received "The Wild Ones" for my review and it is definitely a good choice!
I love the vibrant colors!
Beautiful right? Like a cute little bouquet of roses, only that it's actually baby cloth wipes instead of roses. Took me a while to finally willing to take out the cloths... they look so pretty and comfy and nicely cocooned up together that I hate to break open the band holding them together. Sigh, alas, for the sake of doing a product reviews and bringing you guys my honest feedback on this, I had to do it.
I love the soft feel of the cloth wipes. It's even softer than the handkerchiefs we're using for Ben.

One thing I don't quite like is the size of it. We've been accustomed to using handkerchiefs which are like at least 6 by 6 inches and I have to admit I still very much prefer if Bummas are a bit bigger in size. My MIL actually offered to sew up 2 of them to make into 1 bigger piece. Arghhhh! I had to nag her not to touch my products which are meant for reviews then only she relented.
My feedback in general:
* Touch - Love the soft cottony feel, comfortable on Ben's skin
* Colors - Vibrant colors which are easy for the eyes and easy for me to locate! Though I do wonder why some are in solid colors.
* Size - Should be bigger a bit
* Durability - Good, have been using for a month on now and no shrinking or fading yet
