Product reviews

I have used several other washable nappies but these are one of my faves. gorgeously soft and I love the fact that bamboo has natural antibacterial properties. I have never had a leak outside the wrap with these nappies. I'm not a fan of poppers - not with my wriggly babies! so I have the velcro version, really easy to do up like any disposable - easier in fact because you're not fiddling with tapes! The velcro does start to warp slightly if you tumble dry too much (but this is over a year of constant use). Very similar in shape and performance to the Little Lambs, but lighter weight, and less bulky. Bought from the extremely helpful site Makesachange.

Love love love this nappy! Plus great customer service! Absorbs everything and is soft and silky feeling.

They do take a bit to dry, but once a nappy washing routine is worked out, Easy Peasy!

I bought a couple of these nappies having been so impressed with bamboo in a Tots Bots bamboo nappy. I was having problems with the Tots Bots being a bit low cut on the back, giving my son a builders bum look. They really are a good nappy, they have a few centimetres more fabric in the length which means they can be made to fit, avoiding the builders bum look, not to mention leaks up the back! They also have extra long arms which to be honest are a bit too long on a slim baby, but perhaps they will come into their own as he gets fatter. The fabric is lovely and soft and despite washing in a very hard water area and drying over the radiator all winter they have stayed soft. The separate booster is a good idea as it isn't needed on a small baby and actually I used this booster with other less absorbant nappies as it is pure bamboo. These nappies are also pretty slim fitting which is handy with baby clothes being designed for disposable nappies only now. I think the only drawback of these nappies is that they sit very wet against the skin. This is the case for all totally bamboo nappies and on balance the good fit and birth to potty nature of these make them win over Tots Bots bamboo nappies for me.

positives

- A lovely slimline nappy and very soft bamboo material

- velcro fastenings work well and can overlap at the front for a snug fit if need be

- long waist to crotch length good for my toddler

negatives

- takes AGEs to dry. honestly, 3 days on the rack (less outside). it would only be a really viable option for a day to day nappy if you had a tumble dryer. And I'm not sure if I agree with that for cloth nappies.

- leaks start from 2-3 hours in, so not an option when you are out and about, or for overnight.

I bought these after a day of trailing round the Earls Court Baby Show, I was exhausted by the end as there were so many different real nappy vendors. I chose Bambinex because...

They were good value for money,

Bamboo is softer, more absorbent than cotton

Bamboo is antibacterial

I am so happy with the choice because...

The shape of the nappy comes up quite high at the back to avoid the horrible poo-up-back situation that I had with the last set of nappies I was using (Kooshies).

The outer waterproof wrap is excellent - For over 1 month the nappy has not leaked onto the baby's clothes. It is also quite slim fitting and you wouldn't know that my DD is wearing a real nappy when she is sitting next to all her disposable-wearing NCT baby-buddies.

The only slight downside is that because they are so silky soft, putting them on is a bit like handling a blob of jelly - you have to be firm and tweak them a few times before they are fully in place.
