Can you recommend me a comfy reusable nappy?

Not ME, obviously, - nearly 10mo DD. We've just switched over to cloth and are loving it so far. We've tried various types and AIOs (pockets at a push) work best for us. Due to our busy work schedules, we went for efficiency (teacher life - work 3-4 hours an evening after putting DD to bed, so any washing/stuffing etc has to take place at the weekend).

Currently using Miosolos as my hands struggle with poppers after carpal tunnel release, and they seem the best fit on her JLo bottom.....however I'm wondering if there's a more stretchy brand that I'm somehow missing.

She's VERY refluxy still, despite being fully weaned onto solids, and not yet crawling so bending over all the time while sitting. This is causing the waistband - unless I do it up soooooo loose that it flaps open - to dig into her lower tummy and her to puke all over our floors multiple times every evening! Have had my fitting checked and been told that the rise etc is spot on.

If there was a brand of AIOs that has super stretchy waistbands I would literally buy their entire stock! We really don't want to go back to disposables just for the stretchy waistband on the nappy pants.....

Wonderoos, either pockets or AIOs would work, as long as you can cope with poppers. If not you could try gnappy.

Bumgenius and Grovia always looked like the comfiest AIO nappies on my DS. We mostly used two partners though

We get on really well with Baba & Boo nappies. They are pockets and have poppers though so may not be what you’re after.
We tried loads out by buying secondhand via Facebook first to work out what was best for us.

Are you part of the nappy lady's Facebook group? I've had really great advice to all the questions I've posed there, it's all cloth parents.

I also had a refluxy baby, but luckily the nappies didn't bother her too much. I hope you manage to find the right brand!

I use littles and bloomz velcro pockets, they're about £5 each on amazon for the shell and an insert (either bamboo, microfiber or charcoal bamboo)

If there's a nappy library near you get a loan and see what suits best

Thanks all - spent last night researching your responses and gnappy looks super comfy so will try and get hold of a second hand one to try.

On the plus side she’s only puked twice so far this morning!
