Advantages: value for money, lasting, gorgeous, lightwight, quick drying..read the reveiw!!

Disadvantages: may not be ideal for very chubby babies.

AhhhHHH!!! Motherease system of reusable nappies I love them but then which eco-friendly mum doesn't ... ask me about it and I can talk nineteen to dozens about it .

However for my review here I will just obediently stick to the motherease airflow nappy wraps..

My little one is long out of nappies but I would still like to tell people that after loads of differents brands and types of wrap this is the top nappy wrap to go with reusable/cloth nappies ..provided your baby does'nt have too chubby legs.

The first time I bought one of these wraps from the nappy lady I was really sceptical about a popper nappy wrap(much preferred the Velcro Motherease rikki ones uptil then) but I really could'nt resist the pretty ocean scene on it.


Main features of this wrap:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

1. Adjustable waist and leg openings with sets of 3 poppers (The poppers are placed toward the front on the small size and at the sides on the larger sizes). Poppers particularly tough for nosey little fingers to open.


2. Very pretty unisex patterns to chose from and showoff your baby in during the summer months ..or just plain white or pale blue ones.

3. Inner surface soft breathable waterproof PUL (polyurethane laminate) outer side has a brushed polyester fabric-like feel..

4. Very light ,flexible , baggy and loose.

5. It has gaps at the sides between the poppers to allow air exchange without causing leaks.

6. Legs and waist is elasticated too.

7. Very trim under clothes.

8.Easy to wash.

9. Main feature in my opinion is it plays a big role in saving the environment without making life complicated.



Size Options:
^^^^^^^^^

Available in five sizes. Though it all depends on the childs size really.

Like I needed the med/large but my little one was trained before she went into the large size and I have'nt really used the XS size either.

XS 6lb - 12lb (2.7kg - 5.5kg) Covers the same weight range as the small size but with a trimmer cut suitable for a smaller baby.

Small 6lb - 12lb (2.7kg - 5.5kg)

Medium 10lb - 20lb (4.5kg - 9.1kg)

Medium/Large 20lb - 27lb (9.1kg - 12.3kg) ..ideal for slim babies.

Large from 20lb (for chubbier babies) or from27lb (for slim babies) - 35lb (9.1/12.3kg - 15.9kg)

XL 35lb - 45lb (15.9kg - 20.5kg)



Patterns:
^^^^^^


Five gorgeous Motherease 'Eco Theme' prints, each depicting a different important wildlife habitat:
'Rainforest', 'Wetlands', 'Our Oceans'(my personal favourite), 'Savanna' and 'Asia'.

Plain one colour options include white, soft yellow and pastel blue.


Compatible with:
^^^^^^^^^^^

Any type of motherease nappy..except the all- in- one which of course has its own built in wrap( specially recommened for Sandy and one-size birth to potty-training) , Huggles, Tot-bots and Littlelamb.

Would say the white ones tend to go a bit creamish in colour due to the wrap picking up lots of static dust/lint over time.

Price:
^^^^

Somewhere around £7-£9 depending on where/whom you are buying from. Believe me you won't regret paying £8 for it .


Longevity :
^^^^^^^

Will comfortably see you through two children and a third one even .

Care and washing :
^^^^^^^^^^^^
Machine washable at 40ºC or up to 60ºC.

Can be tumble dried on low heat but I just hung it to dry as this increases longevity and dries real quick too..


My opinion:
^^^^^^^^



They were the best wraps I have used .

Absolute value for money

Never had a single leak even at night.

Kind to any baby suffering from nappy rash and/or excema.

Very fast drying.

My over-nosey little one could never undo the poppers what an added bonus.

Saved me the from the guilt of filling up landfills with disposables that take 200??? years to degrade!!!!



Backdraws:
^^^^^^^^

I never had any as my little one is very slim but the legs just might be a tad narrow for chubby thighs ( don't mean to be rude but to put it honestly if your cute little bundle is somewhere above the 91st percentile this woudn't be the ideal nappy-wrap).

Handy Tips: [coming from the horses mouth]
^^^^^^^

Air-drying to tumble drying increases the life of a wrap.

Just rinse inner side when changing a wee-ed nappy.

For newborns use a small sized wrap to an extrasmall one if putting over a one-size nappy.

Summary: I would use it with any number of children I have in future .
