Note: Funky Fluff diapers are no longer sold.
It’s time for another review, this one courtesy of Funky Fluff diapers. I received a complimentary Bamboo Lux diaper in the Maritime print. This new design (3.0) design replaces the current 2.0.
Here are the basic features of the new LUX line:
- One-size shell/cover adjusts to fit from 7 to 35+ pounds
- Double row of wing snaps allow for both waist and leg adjustments
- Crossover snaps for a snug fit on newborns, plus hip snaps to keep the diaper from sagging
- Waterproof PUL strip on the inside front of the waistband for extra protection against leaks
- Available in two styles: Stay Dry (lined with suedecloth) for $14.95 and Bamboo for $15.95
- Use with Funky Fluff bamboo terry LUX soakers, available in a set with small and large
The major changes in the new LUX line are:
- The complete retirement of microfiber as an absorbent material in Funky Fluff inserts.
- A new shape for inserts: they are now contoured
- New insert options: choose LUX bamboo or deLUX hemp.
- Wide across the front to better accommodate the contoured inserts, and to make stuffing easier
- The back of the snaps are now lined on the inside with PUL for extra protection
- The elastics are softer and more durable
The diaper is lined with bamboo terry. There are openings at both the front and the back, if you want to use it as a pocket diaper. If you want to opt for the AIO or AI2 style, use the snap at the back to secure the soaker. Or, just lay the soakers in the diaper and don’t bother with snapping or stuffing at all. It’s a very versatile system.
These photos show the different ways you can use it. Inserts inside, snapped in, or just laid on top:
The bamboo terry pads are are made of a silky soft fabric blend of 80% bamboo and 20% polyester. You can use solo or snap one onto the other, to double up for more absorbency. Small is 5 layers of fabric and measures about 12 inches long; large is 6 layers of fabric at about 14 inches long. The edges are double-stitched for durability.
The previous (2.0) soaker is shown below, to illustrate how the shape has changed from rectangle to hourglass.
Performance: As with the previous bamboo Funky Fluff diaper we reviewed, absorbency is stellar. When a diaper is lined with bamboo that gives you one bonus layer of material within the diaper itself. Add to that a 5 and 6 layer soaker snapped together, and you have 12 layers to absorb. It can definitely work as an overnight diaper. For a trimmer fit and the same excellent performance, use just one insert in the day time. I also think the new contour shape is great, since there’s a bigger area for absorbency.
The softer elastics are perfect for Ingrid’s chubby legs. I have noticed they are more gentle than the previous version. The PUL strip at the inside front of the diaper is a bit bigger now, and that’s great news for tummy sleepers.
Care: Bamboo is one of my favorite diapering fabrics. It’s easy to prep (usually just takes 1 or 2 washes) but is very thirsty AND soft. Bamboo does stain more easily than microfiber or microfleece, however.
If you choose to snap in the boosters, good news! They will stay fastened in the wash (at least mine did). So this is a diaper that will function like an AIO, if you want. I like keeping the boosters attached at all times; it’s one less thing for me to search for and match up when diapers come out of the dryer.
Sizing: With 4 sets of snaps on the rise, Funky Fluff LUX has a more generous size range than many other “one size” diapers. We’ve always been able to use our Funky Fluff diapers from birth until potty training, with no problems in terms of fit OR absorbency. It’s one of the few diapers that I find myself recommending for both chunky AND skinny babies, because it’s highly adjustable. Not only do you have the 4 sets of rise snaps, but with double snaps on the wings, you can adjust both legs and waist separately to get a better fit.
When I said it fit great on all ages and stages, I wasn’t kidding! Erik will be 3 in December and it still fits just fine.
Ingrid is now 13 months old and just taking her first steps.
My only issue with Funky Fluff’s design, as mentioned in a previous review, is that a 3rd row of rise snaps would be nice. This would help the front to lie flat and not pucker out, which tends to happen more as my baby starts moving around.
Definitely the diaper. The fact that it fits smaller babies and toddlers makes it perfect.
I love all of these items! The shells look so cushie and luxe!
I’m really excited for all the prizes but definitely the diapers most! I have been hearing so many people rave about Funky Fluff and I think your review just convinced me I NEED to try them!
Go for it, Kim! ~Anne
I’m excited about trying to win these!! 🙂

The new funky fluff lux bamboo diaper system! I love their old one’s so I bet these are super awesome!
The diaper shell!
I’m not sure I can pick what I’m most excited about. After being out of cloth diapering for 8 years, as my daughters grew, we are diving back in with our little one due Sept. 7th. So much has changed and there are so many more (and better) options I am looking forward to trying all of the options available. We used primarily pockets with my daughters, but I am definitely loving the idea if the Shells and can’t wait to see if they’re as great as I think they will be.
Daphne, how exciting to start cloth again after 8 years! Congrats on the new baby! ~Anne
I most excited about the Funky Fluff LUX Bamboo Diaper Shell. The absorbancy, the texture, its just a great diaper. (In also am excited for the hanging pail. Can’t ever have too many of those!)
I would love to try the new bamboo diaper, hopefully it’s very absorbent.
I’m excited to get my hands on a flunky fluff diaper!! Heard so many good things !!
I would love the diaper, but I’m actually also really excited about the Bamboo Soaker Set. I have some hemp soakers that I love and are super absorbent, but I’d love to compare them to some bamboo ones. Some other bamboo items I have are softer than the hemp soakers, so I’d like to give the bamboo ones a try.
I am most excited about the Funky Fluff LUX Bamboo Diaper Shell and the Bamboo Soaker Set! I have never had a cloth diaper made with bamboo, so I would be so excited to try it on my little gal!
I can’t wait to try them !.. They look fantastic.. thank you for the opportunity to participate .. I’m very exited to try these 😀👍🏼 and see them on my baby’s soft skin. I love the bamboo soaker set is a must have..❤️❤️😱
OMGOMGOMGOMG! Me! Me! Me! Full sentences are beyond me right now. Want. All. The fluff!
I love all of it, but am super-stoked about the LUX!! Thank you for the opportunity!
I’m most excited about the diaper, I’ve heard so many great things I’d really love to try a Funky Fluff!
Honestly I’ve been wanting to get one of their diapers for awhile. I also really want their hanging wet bag. I haven’t heard anything bad about it yet.
It’s hard to choose one thing to the most excited about with this prize. I love it all! If I had to pick one thing I guess it would have to be the stay dry diaper. I have FF bamboo already (not LUX) so I would like to try stay dry.
I’m excited for everything, but mainly the wetbag since I don’t have one yet.
I’m excited about the entire prize. I’m pregnant with my second and those flushable liners will come in handy. I hear nothing but good things about funky fluff.
The whole thing! Definitely the diapers if I have to pick one item. I’m building a stash for our 4th baby and we’ll have 3 in cloth when he arrives (one just for night thankfully) but this would be a huge boost to the little stash we have so far and they would be well loved!
Excited about the diapers and hanging wet bag! Never tried the diapers. I have one of their hanging wet bags and it is by far my favorite that I have! So strong and durable 🙂
I think I’m most excited about the hemp & bamboo soaker set.
I would love to try the bamboo lined diaper with bamboo soakers. We generally only use natural fibers at home, so these look awesome! I would also like to try the hanging wet bag, I have never had one of those.
I love the hanging pail!
I’m excited about the soaker/boosters! I’d love to try everything in this prize package!!
