Nappy review

We've been collecting various reusable nappies and had a trial pack a few weeks ago.  Here's our review:

Wraps: 

Eeny

For new borns up to 10 pounds, doesn't last long and tying the fastener is fiddly as you have to make a knot as tight as possible. 


Velcro sticks well, no leaks, very thin, fits well, cute.  


Velcro sticks well, no leaks, interior fold which holds the absorbent lining in place.  Only problem is they can still smell of wee after a wash. 


Velcro curled after washing and they come undone making Aidan wet. 


Too wide for our little boy's waist and thighs.

All in ones:


Erin's favourite. Velcro, cute, thin, dry really quickly, the colours stay bright and sunshiny after washing, no fussy wrap to worry about.  Jason says they have leaked for him but Erin blames the person putting them on.


Jason's favourite.  Velcro, compact, absorb well, adjustable for when he gets bigger, and they fit well. Not the cutest but what's the point in that when all is said and done.  Erin likes them less because they seem too high for him at the moment, they take a while to dry, get bobbing on the inside lining after washing and don't look so cute, but good because they absorb.

Hip Hiphooray  

Poppers, not very slimline, have leaked a few times.


Poppers, not very slimline and have leaked.


Hate them. Three times on, three times soaked.


OK, but decided against buying as we had better ones already.

Absorbant Inners:

Muslin Squares - Don't absorb our Olympian pee-er. 

Pre-folds - Super absorbant.

Lollipop Microfleece  

Shaped velcro inner nappy.  Super soft and cute.  Not too bulky, dry almost as soon as he's wet them.

Tots Bots Bamboozle   

Velcro, good fit, absorbant, good material but take eons to dry.  Would only buy if they came with a free back garden, washing line and the Summer sun.

Nature Babies Loveables 

Same as above.  Good but just take too long to dry.

Nappy Nation 

Velcro, they make his backside look sumo size.  And that's not with the wrap.  Also take donkeys years to dry.
