Nappies > Imse Vimse Nappies

Advantages: nice slim fit for a newborn, quick drying, inexpensive
Disadvantages: needs a gusseted wrap to prevent leg leaks, not super absorbent

Imse Vimse is a Swedish made nappy. It is a shaped nappy, and I received one to try to see how I got on. I found the flannelette version I recieved to be very slim fitting, and as there is no Velcro or Aplix on it, it was either pin it or fold it up inside a snug fitting wrap as a nippa (a new gadget you use instead of pins) won't grip smooth fabric. I don't use pins, so I found a Prorap brand wrap works especially well with this nappy as the legs ...
...having more uses later. The Imse Vimse does dry relatively quickly however, so is an option to consider if you do not have a dryer. Imse Vimse is available from many online stores and often can be hired to try out. Mine came from Plushpants.co.uk, and they also carry most of the popular nappy types, as well as a hire scheme. I have also seen them on UKParents Nappy Buy and Sell forum, which is an excellent place to get nappies to try before you ... Read review

Advantages: they do absorb runny poo
Disadvantages: sizing didnt seem right

I have used pampers new baby for the first few weeks of all three of my children's lives. I did find they did what they said they do they do absorb runny poo and I found that they coped with the amount my babies pooed. I found that with all three of my children at some point the nappies where on special offer so they did work out cheaper than other brands One thing I did find with these nappies was that I always had to go up in size long before ...
...they go up to. I also found to start with I had to fold down the top of nappy because of babies cord maybe a newborn nappy with a hole for the cord would be good Over all I do like these's nappies and I thought the price was average compared with other nappies ... Read review

Advantages: Loads of designs to chose from, comfortable & reliable
Disadvantages: Maybe a bit pricey

...notice no one has reviewed Nature Babies nappy wraps for quite some time - this is a travesty!! I am here to help. As you will see from one of my previous reviews, I use Motherease Onesize reusable nappies on my daughter and have been very pleased with them and their wraps. There does however come a time when you feel that you want something a bit more funky for your little one's bum (motherease wraps are a bit dull), and this is where Nature Babies ...
...be the best stockist for Nature Babies. The wraps that I am going to describe are called a 'MULTIWRAP' which I think is a fairly new addition to their collection but it really is a lovely wrap. Available in 3 sizes - small (8-14lb), medium (14-25lb) & large (22-35lb). It is slightly different to their original wraps as there is no elastication around the waist which makes it more comfortable, so is ideally suited for an older baby - one who can ... Read review

Advantages: Just as good as any disposable and completely green
Disadvantages: Very slightly more expensive unless bought in bulk

Awesome and realistically green. Easy to use and as leak-proof as any other disposable I have used, and I have tried the lot! They are super absorbent, very slim and always always stay up. I once had a tag come off but was fully compensated for the full pack in which the faulty item was and the nappy didn't really fail because the nappy kept it's shape despite the tag coming off. They are a good price, especially when bought in bulk on the internet, ... Read review

Advantages: Keeps baby warm, Easy to get on and off, Provides extra grip
Disadvantages: None I can think of

I brought the Konfidence My Babywarma (in blue) for my son when he was 3 months old and we were about to take him swimming for the first time and I have been absolutely thrilled with it ever since, and brought a new one when he outgrew the first. I brought it from Amazon for £11.50 and it has been worth every penny. Very easy to put on - you lay the Babywarma on the changing table as it folds out completly flat and then lay the baby on top - there ...
...getting bigger and stonger in the water I will definitely be buying further Konfidence products for years to come. (PLEASE NOTE FOR SOME REASON THIS IS STATED AS BEING A SWIMMING NAPPY, INSTEAD OF A BABY WETSUIT, SO THE LEAK PROOF/ABSORPTION BOXES SHOWN ON THIS REVIEW ARE NOT RELEVANT) ... Read review
