Mother-ease One Size

I started using nappies so many decades ago that we used terry towelling squares and nappy pins! So when disposable nappies got good I used them with my daughter, now two and half, and thought how marvellous it all was. But by the time I was stay at home mum with two children under two in nappies, I began to see some problems: a) The local council moved to fortnightly bin collections and we couldn't cope with the nappies hanging around for a fortnight, also having to cut down our rubbish by 50% overnight without warning. b) two babies in nappies was getting seriously expensive at the supermarket c) I wasn't working so had more ...  Read the complete review

Our first born is four weeks old at time of writing, and we had decided to trial out a selection of reusable nappies for reasons which I go into at the end of this review. We bought from ebay a 'selection pack' of around seven different types of nappies, the particular nappy I'm reviewing today is the cotton Motherease One Size nappy. The main differentiating feature for this nappy is that there is only one size required from birth. The nappy is fastened with plastic poppers and on a new born you fold the front flap back on itself to expose poppers which reduce the height of the nappy. There are vertical arrays of side poppers which ensure it wraps snugly ...  Read the complete review

One thing i didn't really think about when i was pregnant was the nappies i would use. You get so many offers through the post for disposables that unless someone mentions cloth to you, you probably wouldn't think about it. So what made me think about it and why motherease? Well my sisters uses them on her two children and a nice lady from our local scheme came to an antenatal class to discuss using cloth nappies. Your next decision, how on earth do you decide which cloth nappies? Well motherease make a few but the appeal for me was one size of nappy from birth to potty. ******Motherease One Size****** Well the name gives it away, one ...  Read the complete review

Motherease make a variety of cloth nappies. The particular nappies I will be reviewing will be the Motherease One Size nappies. ** The Nappies ** As the name suggests, the nappy is designed so that one size fits all, meaning it should last a baby from birth right through to potty training, eliminating the need to buy more as the baby grows. So, does it work like that? Well, from my personal experience, these nappies do their job well from birth, with minimal leakages. The only slight issue is that they are very bulky on small babies. I have to say I was warned about this when I bought them, so I was prepared, although I ...  Read the complete review

I decided to go with cloth nappies when I was pregnant with my daughter (nearly 2 years ago), I did a lot of research into the various cloth nappy systems available (and boy there are a LOT), but Motherease seemed to come out on top, so I went for the Birth-to-Potty nappy. It's basically a nappy that will fit your baby from birth (if they aren't too tiny) right through to potty training, it has poppers that you can adjust as your baby grows. So all I needed was 20 of these, with 20 liners (I chose fleece - dry next to baby's bum), and some snap in boosters for extra protection at night time - I didn't need to use these until she was about 6 months old. I also ...  Read the complete review
