Kushies 3 snap system for optimum fit with bias trim finish for durability.

Advantages: one sized convenience will last most of a child's nappy wearing life
Disadvantages: chubbier children will find them tight at end and smaller newborns or preemies will swim in these, incredibly long line drying time compared to others

...prints.Both the unbleached and the patterned terry fabric are only 85% cotton, as there is 15% polyester woven through the outer fabric for strength and durability, but only 100% cotton is ever next to your baby's bottom. The ployster weave also means these are the stretchist of all the versions, so is likely to fit a baby up to 35 and a bit pounds. For lighter wetters, there are two verions of the Snap to Fit (or UltraFit as it has been renamed) made in soft brushed cotton flannelette.the flannette version is all cotton with the exception of the sewn in "soaker pad" which is polyester. The polyester soaker pad dries a little bit quicker than the all cotton versions, but only by about 10-15 minutes. It is thicker and stiffer between the legs as well, so I am not certain it is as nice and comfy as the terry towelling.You can get... Read review

...After having my baby 6 weeks ago I have realised the importance of having some good quality breastpads - especially if you are breadtfeeding. I first bought disposable breastpads from boots which were reasonably cheap but I found that they scrunched up too easily and irritated my npples so I decided to use some washable ones. I first bought the Avent washable breast pads which I was satisfied with but I needed some more as you only get 3 pairs in a pack! I bought the Kushies washable breast pads - not becuase they were different or anything but just becuse I was placing an online order from one of the baby stuff .suppliers and these are the ones that were on sale here - so it was pure laziness that made me buy this particular brand! They are slightly bigger than the washable pads made by avent and are gently contoured to fit... Read review
