Advantages: ease of use, cuteness factor, very slim fitting nappy

Disadvantages: leaks, leaks and more leaks

I bought a few fuzzi bunz to try with my new baby, having used tots bots with my first. I was impressed by the idea of using something that would be as quick as a disposable. Fuzzi bunz are what are known as pocket nappies: they have a waterproof outside and a soft fleece inside with a gap at the top to be stuffed with something absorbant. The idea is that you stuff the nappy with a pre-made insert (made out of microfibre, cotton or hemp) and then the poppers on the waist and leg of the nappy allow you to put it on like a disposable, with no need for two layers of nappy and wrap. I thought they sounded perfect, plus they come in a huge variety of gorgeous colours (I bought red, turquoise and bright blue).

So when our baby was a few days old I thought I'd try the fuzzis on him. They were very easy to put on, looked comfortable and ever so cute, but really fell down on the absorbancy bit. I'd bought the Mother of Eden microfibre inserts, at the recommended one insert per nappy, but with one insert in, he was wet around the waist and legs after about an hour. He's quite a chunky monkey, so I thought I'd put two inserts in, but this only added about half an hour to the nappy. I was so disappointed!! You can also use terry nappies to stuff fuzzi bunz, so I gave that a go too (I was desperate to get on with these nappies!) but that just made the whole thing very bulky, and although I did get about two and a half hours out of them that way, I just think you cannot beat a tots bots for absorbancy and obviously that's what I was used to, and looking for.

So all in all, they didn't work for us. I didn't try a hemp insert and these are known for being super absorbant, so perhaps if you found the right absorbancy you might find that these are the nappies for you. Good luck in your nappy quest!!

Summary: Really cute, easy to use nappies, but they leak. A lot.

I use Fuzzi bunz and love them. You have to use the insert that is with them plus a hemp booster and they work well. my daughter goes 3 to 4 hours in hers without a leak.

These actually work fab if you use a terry or a prefold inside instead of the silly inserts. I found the various inserts useless, and actually got to use these overnight if we stuffed it with a Little Ewes terry.

I've been trying out various fitted nappies too - can be a bit tricky to be environmentally friendly!
