Excellent booster for night time use or heavy wetters
Price: £6.95
Thumbnails
These additional bamboo soaker pads for heavy wetters/nights fit beautifully in the nappy, and can be laid inside the nappy, or placed inside a pocket. Brilliantly versatile, they can be used with any real nappy but will work particularly well with the ones&twos nappy range it was designed for.
Bamboo is soft, naturally antibacterial and wonderfully absorbant. This ability to soak up moisture means that each booster needs less fabric to be effective, and so they are slimline too.

Took a few washes to get the absorbency up, and it is mainly around the leg where the absorbency gives out, but they have remained very soft to the touch. Have been washing at 60, and tumble drying as per instructions - this makes them very easy to use, as just throw used nappy in bucket (with liner), wait till full - transfer liner to washing machine - do a rinse, then add other washing - do a 60 load, then tumble dry.
They are being used on a 7 month girl and a 30 month girl - am finding that some 'messier' poos work their way around the leg seam - and this would be the only thing I would wish to improve! I am using paper liners in them, and nearly always use the boosters - I find the paper liners are good for minimising cleaning. I often use the paper liners on top of fleece liners (Little Lambs), this is again for ease of cleaning and disposal of contents.
The fit is great on both big and littlie, although my elder is of the sleek design that needs a belt with everything ..... but not these.
They are comfortable around the waist for both, and again the soft feel of them makes you feel confident that they will be comfortable.
They are a very compact design in that it doesn't feel or look like there is any 'nappy bulk' when they are being worn.
SO far the velcro straps are holding out in the wash and come out still stuck to their appropriate tag. They are also coming up consistently clean.
The only nappy comparisons I have for you are: Tots Bots Easyfits - and I find them to have a 'smell' which these nappies don't, Bambino Mio folding nappies, and Tots Bots Flexi Fit - which are bulkier than these ones and twos.
VERY HAPPY with my purchase - which was a branch into other 'brands', at an affordable price. I chose these as I was given one free at an NCT Nappy Week Nappuccino event, and liked it.
My older child also likes that she can choose a colour ...... especially when it matches her outfit :)
The only nappy I would rate a 5 is one that has no impact on the environment and that was self cleaning!!!! ;)))

We have this nappy in pink and it's a lovely vibrant pink which looks fab. It looks well made and gives a nice trim fit. Am currently using on our 12lb 13 week old daughter and it isn't bulky at all. The rows of poppers offer good adjustability and the aplix fastening allows for a good fit at the waist, although my two year old is potty trained I tried it on her for fit. She is tall and thin and weighs approx 26lb and it fits quite well with all poppers undone but I think if she got any taller the rise wouldn't be high enoughs so maybe wouldn't fit a very tall toddler. The laundry tabs are nice and strong at the moment so no nappy chains after washing this one. Absorbency is good and it has contained several bf poo explosions so I'm pleased with containment and have had no leaks. It takes about 24 hours to dry on a ceiling airer above a radiator this is because of the sewn in soaker, the extra insert dries faster than this. Overall I am pleased although the drying time is a little longer than with pocket nappies but it's not a ridiculously long time when compared to bamboo nappies. It has also stayed very soft in our very hard water area.
