Contoured for a snug fit, the One Size’s unique shape and design makes it as easy to use as a disposable.

The Mother-ease One Size™ fits your baby from 8 - 35 lb, making it a super-economical option. Fastened with poppers, it has elasticated legs and waist, making it leakproof and a comfortable fit for your baby. A snap in liner is available for the heavy wetter, or for night time use.

Not really a one-size in my view as so big that I could really only start using it from about 4 months onwards and now at 6 months it is still a bit loose on the tightest setting. It is also a very wide cut, particularly between the legs; not sure why. It is ok but nothing amazing; I prefer little lamb ones that have a better shape in my opinion.

I have been using these excellent nappies for the last 15 months with my daughter and am buying extra for number 2 due in 7 weeks.
Here's a load of personal advice random thoughts that might be helpful to others;
* My girl was big 8lb's 14 but the nappies still look massive on a newborn, however, I think this is cute!
* You will need to think about what clothes you get to go over real nappies, cute trousers and jeans from the highstreet will generally not fit (if you get them big enough to go over the nappy the legs will be too long). Leggings and dungarees are great and of course dresses or bottoms from specialist stores.
* Wraps - the motherease wraps with velcro are a must buy as the most reliable wrap I think you'll ever own (so good for night-time), but they can be a bit boring so spice them up with other makes! Tots bots used to be great but they changed their design and are now not as good but do still go over these nappies well. Look for wraps with a high rise to go over these. I have a feeling that I'll need to switch to popper wraps this summer as velcro might be too easy for her to pull off if she wants to feel the summer sun on her bum
*Newborn poo just soaks into the nappy so no need for liners initially
* don't go mad buying boosters, i bought loads and haven't used them at all yet
* washing these nappies; after much research and experimentation my schedule is this;
1) dry pale the nappies (put some drops of tea tree oil in your bin for smells and as an antibacterial aid)
2) chuck into washing machine with 1/2 the normal amount of non bio powder you'd normally use (more than this causes a build up of detergent in the nappy and leads to them getting smelly)
3) Do a 60 degree cycle with a pre-wash and an extra rinse at the end
4) put into tumble dryer for 15 to 20 mins - this softens them compared to airdrying alone (I'm probably just being soft here and she wouldn't notice the difference)
5) dry in full sunlight. this is really important if you want white nappies! The brown colour of poo comes from 'haem' in blood. Old blood is got rid of in poo. Therefore, your nappies will be clean when they come out the washing machine but they have been 'stained'. This stain is a broken down version of haem which is further broken down by sunlight so the stain disappears like magic! If you can't get your stained ones outside, you can put them on a bright windowsill as an alternative, although not quite as effective. If you need to dry them inside, dry on an airer (not radiator as makes them hard). Wash wraps in with the nappies if they get poo on them or after several wears but don't tumble dry them each time (you can tumble dry PUL wraps that have become less waterproof to try to recover them but not every time as this would destroy them). They dry mega quick anywhere.
* I managed fine with 20 nappies doing a wash every other day when newborn and then later doing a wash on third day. You might need more nappies though if you will have trouble drying them. As my girl got older and started sleeping through the night I felt happier putting her in a disposable overnight, just a personal choice.
*please note, these nappies will feel wet next to babies skin (like a damp towel), this is not a problem and baby is comfortable however, if you don't like the sound of this then use a liner from day one as this takes the moisture through to the nappy and leaves a dry feeling layer next to baby.
* using washable nappies saves you more money than the estimates you'll see. I was very geeky and added up everything from water use to machine wear and still looked at a minimum �1000 saving on first child.
*however, where you'll also save money is by making your own washable wipes. Cut up an old towell into small squares/oblongs about the size of your hand. using a sewing machine seal the cut edges using 'overstitch' or zigzag stitching. Have a bowl of water next to your changing table - dip clean wipes into water and wipe babies bum, wipes get washed with nappies (or buy loads of cheap flannels). If you use bought wet wipes, you'll pay about 1.5 to 2p per wipe... add up the number of wipes you'll use every nappy change, it soon adds up! Equally, most nappy liners will machine wash, the ones that aren't soiled get chucked in with the nappies and get reused. Using water on the babies bum must be far gentler than the chemicals in wet wipes in my opinion, however, I do keep a packet in my changing bag for when I can't wet down my own towelling wipes. I personally don't routinely use any soap or cleansers on babies bum, just water. When she has a bath at night there is a small amount of soap in the water from washing her hair and she has her bum wiped using this water. I'm happy this is hygienic enough and since hubby is a microbiologist I'm sure he would clean her differently if he disagreed!
* I have tried some 'all in one' nappies and 'insert' nappies mainly as other carers can moan about two part systems for being fiddly to put on and take off. However, for reliability I love my motherease one size and anyway, the other types are fiddly when it comes to making them up ready to use. The nursery my daughter goes to are very happy to use them as well.
Sorry for going on and on but it feels good to share what I've learned!!!

A excellent quality nappy that functions well, washes well and is easy to put on. Lasts from birth so only one outlay. Significantly better than other brands tried.
