Bummis Blog A tale of 2 moms and their adventures in cloth diapers.

9 years ago, pregnant with her first child, Amélie decided use cloth diapers.Nobody around her knew anything about reusable diapers, and they thought that it was a way over the top idea - too "hippy" (or granola, as we say here in Quebec!). They told her it was a huge mistake, and that she would be sorry. And so she was worried, of course - and began to doubt herself. It happens to a lot of us - when you casually mention to friends or family that you're considering using real diapers.... So one day she went to Boutique Bummis with her friend Véronique,and met Betsy, the owner of Bummis, a place where cloth diapers are considered NORMAL, and single-use diapers WEIRD. After a brief but enthusiastically delivered course in using and washing prefolds, the two friends left the store with a supply of prefolds and wraps, and bravely embarked upon the cloth diaper odyssey.Prefolds took them further than they had ever dared to believe. But they didn't stop there! Three months later the two friends opened their own cloth diaper store. Today, Calins et Popotin is the largest cloth diaper store in Montreal, and it has spawned a popular cloth diaper brand in Québec called Mini Kiwi. Along the way they had 4 more kids between them, and met a dragon who decided they and their dreams merited an investment.Fast forward another few years and the 2 friends, together with their partners and the dragon, acquire Bummis itself! Committed to all that is valued about this iconic brand known for excellent quality, functionality and customer experience - they are on the way to creating the cloth diaper company of their dreams. Updating prints, expanding the product line, creating new and exciting platforms and venues for cloth diapers - it's a whirlwind of activity and excitement at Bummis!
