This is the newest version of the Elemental, called the E3! Some limited eidtion prints from the vault are the 2nd version of the Elemental, with no organic cotton layer against the waterproof layer. The bumGenius Elemental features: 6 layers of super absorbent, certified organic cotton Fully lined with 100% organic cotton - this version reintroduces the layer lining the outer waterproof layer, as well as having the attached insert Better design means fewer leaks and an ultra-trim fit Generous sizing accommodates more babies Easily tuck any insert inside diaper for custom absorbency Durable snap closures Trim, snug and comfortable stretchy tabs gently flex around your baby Exclusively made in the United States In 2016, Cotton Babies launched their new and improved Elemental All-In-One cloth diaper. As the third version of the Elemental created, it has the best of both designs from the previous two versions. All three of these diapers are one-size, fitting babies 8-35 lbs, and feature organic cotton inserts, so no stuffing needed. While these features did not change between the three versions, there are a few features that did. Here are the major differences between the three versions to help you compare, contrast and find the best diaper for your family. Original Elemental (OBGE)The Original Elemental was first created in 2009 as just an organic all-in-one cloth diaper; before it received the “Elemental” name. This version has organic cotton lining throughout the diaper, plus the sewn-in inserts. The elastics around the legs are rolled to be soft on babys thighs. Once the second version was released, this diaper became known as the Original bumGenius Elemental, or OBGE. Elemental 2 (E2)The second version, briefly known as the New Elemental (NBGE), was released in 2013. Three major differences were noted between the first and second version: One of the biggest changes between the two designs was the cotton lining, which was removed as a feature in the second Elemental (E2), exposing the PUL and providing this version with the next noted difference: a trimmer fit! The Elemental is already the trimmest bumGenius diaper made, and the E2 made it even trimmer. And lastly, the elastics were encased rather than rolled, and the inserts were designed wider and attached at the top of the PUL, making it easier to put additional inserts under the attached inserts for naps or nighttime. Once the E3 was released and took over the title of “New Elemental”, the second version then became known as E2. Elemental 3 (E3)In 2016, Cotton Babies announced the release of their newest Elemental design, which came to be known as the E3. This design took the previous two versions and combined them. One of the biggest updates to this new design was the reintroduction of the organic cotton lining. In addition, instead of two inserts, there is only one. This made the diaper even more trim, but still super absorbent. And finally, because of the cotton lining, the elastics also went back to rolled instead of encased, keeping marks off of babys thighs. The E3 is the latest version of the Elemental. Have an older bumGenius diaper with elastics needing replacement? When the elastic is losing its stretch, order a refresher kit here! Sizing The bumGenius Elemental is designed to fit most babies from 7 to 35 lbs. We feel these diapers will safely fit babies from 12-33 lbs.We believe, along with most other parents, that these one-size diapers don't start fitting until 12 lbs and/or 2-3 months. However, they do seem to fit through potty learning for most toddlers. Materials Made from 100% organic cotton inside, waterproof polyester outside (PUL). Care How to prepare for first useBecause unbleached cotton retains its natural oil, it's important to remove this waxy outer fiber layer before using them for the first time. We recommend washing them with hot sudsy water and drying them in the dryer at least three times before their first use. (That's wash - dry - wash - dry - wash - dry). To test if they're ready to use, make a pocket in the diaper and pour half a cup of water into it. If the water is not readily absorbed, then they should be washed and dried more.We recommend washing your diapers by themselves during this break-in period. This will reduce pilling and prevent the oils from the unbleached prefolds from coating other diapers, causing them to repel water, rather than absorb it.For our washing recommendations, click here.
