Anyone used coolababy, BB rainbow, babyland or happy flute pockets?

Am looking around at pockets and found coolababy and BB rainbow pockets on ebay. Also found mentions of babyland and happy flute pockets but couldn't find anywhere that sold them.

Has anyone used any of these? They all look very similar. Coolababy nappies are available from the UK, but the BB ones are from China.

Any reviews appreciated.

I use babyland and love them, so does DH which is a minor miracle! If you get them from ebay (china) they turned up 3x for me within 2 weeks.

I have a coolababy. It is cheap and fine, although not glam or yummy.

As dd is a toddler, I think we will need a hemp or bamboo layer as microfibre can only do so much.

But yep - they are fine. Like a 'budget' bumgenius. Indeed, about half the price!

i have (and so have others on cnt) found that some of them have PUL issues. this may have since resolved, but 2 of the 6 i bought (from a since closed nappy site) the colour outer and plastic inner of the PUL has separated, making them sound scrunchy and its really easy to put you finger through the plastic layer when stuffing them.

i wont be buying anymore just incase. but i would definitely say if you do get them get them from babybots not ebay so if they do this you can return them.

Interested in this thread?

Ive tried coolababy on my girls and i found them a great budget buy i even started selling them here as i would recommend them to anyone. Not so good on very tiny babies or chunky toddlers over say 2 and a half though.

coolababys are my main nappy as they are so reliable and fast drying, I love them. Hard wearing, no PUL issues (except with the fleece covered one)

however, the one I bought off ebay was a bit rubbish as the insert was just a rectangle of terry rather than the microfleece ones you get from the likes of babybots

I have ten Coolababy nappies and LOVE them, never had any leaks with them, they wash really well, dry fast and so far are wearing well.

They are too big to use on my newborn (7lbs8) but fit my 16month very well with plenty of room to grow.

Thanks for your postings everyone. Sounds like I should try out Coolababy then!
