Advantages: easy to fit, quick drying, great for chidlcare/grandparents, you can adjust the absorbency

Disadvantages: initial price is high, possibly not as suitable for newborn use

We started using these when my daughter was 10wks old. We had tried a few different types of cloth nappy, and this was by far the best for us.

She was a very skinny 9lb when we started with them and at first the insert was too bulky on the 2.0 so we used hemp in the pocket instead.
The 3.0 solves this problem by providing a newborn insert, which we now use as an extra boosting layer as my daughter is 18months and needs more absorbency.

I love this nappy for it's ease of use- it's no different than putting on a disposable, and the poppers for adjusting the rise make it easy to find the right fit for your child. They dry overnight, much faster than any of my other cloth nappies, and they aren't too big and bulky under clothes. I have yet to buy a size bigger than needed to accommodate these nappies.


My only reservation is for newborn use. I tried them on my son when he was born and the legs weren't tight enough to hold his breastfed poo. He was a good 8lb 5oz size too. Perhaps they've stretched a bit from use with my daughter and a new one wouldn't be a problem? I'm still not sure I'd recommend them to new parents though.

My daughter's nursery has been happy to use them as they're so easy to work with, and even my father-in-law can work them out! A great option if you want others to use them for you.

Summary: A quick and easy nappy to use that's great for someone wanting to use cloth
