I've been searching for a good night time nappy. We already use popngro nappies in the day but they don't last the night, even with 2 large inserts and any more is too bulky to wear for 9m DD so have been using disposibles recently. These have been very good overall, we use them with one of the popngro outers over the top which works well at the moment but I'm not sure if they will get too small as she grows. They spread the absorbancy around the whole nappy so it's not massively bulky. There's been no leakage yet. They fit very well and seem to be comfortable. The large velcro strip and back-to-back velcro on the tabs is good and makes it very versitile. The central foldout strip is good for selecting where to put an extra layer (girls vs boys) and making drying a bit easier. They wash well (but have only been through a few times so far).
Negative points are the very long drying time. I knew that would be the case with bamboo and the multiple layers but they take more than 24 hours on a radiator so aren't ready for 2 nights. Also, they didn't come with any instructions eg whether to pre-wash them before first use, so I did anyway. If this was your first washable nappy purchase some accompanying information would be essential.
The nappies are reasonably priced at the moment but I probably wouldn't pay full price for them. Also, I didn't want to pay any extra to buy extra outers for them. The last thing I was mildly put off by was the shipping cost and almost didn't proceed with the order when it was almost the same price as 1 nappy. If it could be under £3.00 that would be much more palatable.
Very absorbant, great fit and great price! - Stephanie

I just wanted to thank you so much. I recently purchased a pack of your bamboo shaped nappies and I am very impressed. I've been struggling for some time to find a nappy that my 6 month old heavy wetter can wear without leaking. Your nappies do the job so well, even at night with only one booster. They have been washed several times and are still so soft, I'm sure it must be like wearing a hug!!
I have to say that I wouldn't buy these again as they take longer to dry than any nappy I've ever come across.
Thanks for your comments, Jo. Bamboo is a slower drying fabric but this is because it is also the most absorbenct fabric you can make nappies from. This makes it ideal for night-time use or where dry time is not an issue. If you require a quicker drying nappy you may wish to consider our super-softee nappy.
