Totsbots bamboozles users

[ruthydd]

Any advice on whether these are 60% more absorbent than normal cotton nappies as claimed on their website ? I previously used the original totsbots until my over-efficient cleaner mistaking binned the lot of them! Is it worth the extra £1 per nappy for a bamboozle ? Thankfully Hackney Council will be subsidizing this purchase.

Sorry, ruthy, haven't used them but at your cleaner! Clearly the most expensive disposable ever!

Can't really blame her. I did store them in a sangenic nappy wrapper thinking it a very clever/hygienic idea. arrrgghhh. It was also some time ago with ds1 and kick-started potty training.

The material may well be more absorbent than cotton if comparing the same amount. However as the bamboozle nappies are thinner than normal tots I think it balances out to the same level of absorbency per nappy. IMO this is a good trade off as I would not want to leave the nappy unchanged for a longer period of time but do appreciate it being easier to fit them into standard trousers.

Agree with muddlingthru - treat them like original Totsbots and enjoy having a bigger wardrobe choice

One skinny lovely babmboozle holds as much as one giant fuffy original.

I was amazed how absorbant they are, a great buy. My only gripe is that after a few washes the nappy nippa doesn't grip on them as well as onto fluffles.

picnickel, that's interesting, can you explain exactly what you mean...

Yes that happened to me Picnic the bottom bit of the nippa kept flying free and the nappy would go saggy.
I only tried mine for a bit then sold it on. Found it didn't contain my ds's runny poop (he's 14months!!!)

Didn't get on with mine as I just found they were no where near as absobent as I expected them to be. Have sold mine on and am sticking to my fluffles which I think are fab!

Same thing with the nippa as maisiemog. If I was buying more I'd get poppers or velcro (not sure if they come in velcro though). Fluffles are very cute aren't they, Debs? I accidentally dyed mine pink when I washed them with something red but they look even cuter in pink! Luckily dd is a dd .

Thanks everyone. Sounds like i should buy a mixture of bamboozles with velcro + fluffles to mix with the few original ones that my cleaner didn't bin. Whats the difference between fluffles and originals ? Ohhh its all so complicated.

Fluffles are more like a fleece material. They dry a lot faster than the bamboozles or originals.

Yes I adore my fluffles. So many people seem to not like the feel of them but I really don't know what all the fuss is about. They dry very quickly (overnight) & are made of polyester. They are available in poppers or nippa. Fluffles have a built in fleece liner & poppered booster. Bamboozles just have the booster sewn in with no liner. Would love to dye mine blue but am scared they'll go wrong!!!
