i've been using the flexi tots for 3 months on my baby and loved them at first.However the bamboo velour lining has already become threadbare and patchy now.They are going bald!I have never tumbledried them or put them on a radiator and am disappointed that they have not retained their initial super absorbency.

I used cotton tots for my son up to 5 months and I've moved to flexi tots now. Cotton tots were great, washed & dried well (under 24 hours) & I used the motherease rikki wrap as I found the tots bots wrap leaked (a bit gutted as the tots wraps are so cute - but motherease do various animal print ones which are nice too). I would recommend using the disposable liner to begin with as cleaning off newborn paste-poo isn't easy (now my son is weaning and doing more normal poo's I will go back to washable liners when I run out).

Having now moved to the next size I have gone for the new flexi tot which looks & fits well (slimmer on the sides than the cotton tot but chunkier between the legs) and is more pleasant to change as the nappy isn't sodden wet like the cotton tots gets - However..drying is a lengthy process with the new flexi tot so sample one first (drying takes about a day and a half), I hope once the central heating comes back on it will be easier. Again I used motherease rikki for the outer wrap and they're great. Never had an issue with nappy rash and leakage is very rare. Getting trousers to fit is tricky though as baby's bum is made huge by washable nappies! Frugi (previously cut4cloth) is good for big bum clothes but expensive. Nappylady website is great for getting a recommendation & discount on orders.

Fantastic nappies!! I have tried the cotton version which do up with velcro and found them to be fine for daytime use but they seem bulky and my son likes to open anything with velcro! The type of Tots Bots nappies with I really loved, were the Bamboozle bamboo ones which fasten with poppers. They are so soft and flexible not bulky and do not restrict baby's movements. Also the fact that they are made from bamboo means they are more environmentally friendly. It is worth looking at a few websites to find a good buy as you can get some real bargains (amazon, Kiddicare) Finally they dry so much faster than other nappies that I have tried. Really great nappies I would totally recommend them.

I liked these nappies for a little baby but found that they were leaking frustratingly often as my son got bigger. Changing wraps helped a lot with the leaking but made the bulkiness worse. That said, poo containment is pretty impressive but I am planning to try something else for stage 2.
