Big Fluffy Bums
Review of Tots Bots Nappies by
thejigglyone
Advantages: Great for baby and the environment, come in a nice range of materials and colours
Disadvantages: Expensive initial outlay, can be hard to get, some take long to dry
Tots Bots were the first reusable nappy that i tried. After researching for months i took the plunge and bought 3 fluffles, a rainbow bamboozle, a fleece wrap and a PUL wrap. I tried these out on my little lady for a few weeks. By the time my son was born a couple of months later i was well and truly an addict. I now own loads and loads of different brands of nappies in different shapes and styles so be sure that I am experienced in using cloth.
... ...recently they have introduced dolly tots (cute nappies for dollies), bamboo towels and face cloths.
I want to know more about the nappies?
All nappies are gently elasticated to give a snug fit. This is especially good in the event of explosive poos. All nappies, except fluffles also feature an attached flapout booster for more absorbancy and for faster drying. Fluffles feature a booster but it snaps in with poppers.

Back to basics with basic terry squares
Review of Terry Nappies by
EmmB
Advantages: Fast-drying, economical, one size just about fits all
Disadvantages: Can't think of any!
...looked back! I chose terry squares because quite frankly I found the array of nappies and nappy systems bewildering, and new that terries were the cheapest option. I bought three nappy nippas, and a set of wraps, fleece boosters and disposable liners which suits me just fine. I find that they are quick to dry (an important consideration if you haven't got or don't want to use a tumble dryer) - far more quick than shaped nappies which take an age ... ...hassle to fold the nappies which seems to be one of people's main concerns! I also find that it is really easy to store and wash the nappies - I 'dry pail' and add sanitiser to my machine and wash on 60 degrees. I find that there are no odours when storing my nappies, and use a drawstring bag to store them in the day when I am out and about. I would thoroughly recommend terries if you want a simple, straightforward nappy system that is environmentally ...

Bambino Mio, very hard to get on baby.
Review of Bambino Mio Reusable by
Mhairi_y
Advantages: Cloths were easy to wash, wasn't on long enough to leak
Disadvantages: Hard to put on baby, hard to fold, rough on baby's skin not very flexible
...up reviews I found that bambino mio always seemed to come out with fantastic reviews. I bought a tester pack and to be honest couldn't have been more dissapointed.
I found it very dissicult firslty to learn how to do the correct fold for my baby when I had worked that part out I found it incredibly aquward to hold the folded cloth in the nappy cover with a nappy liner on top and attach it around a wriggling baby...I needed four hands.
I had finally ... ...the waistband of the nappy seemed to be awfully hard against my baby's skin and there didn't seem to be much movement for when he was sitting up. Ended up removing the nappy as my baby looked very uncomfortable and unable to sit up properly.
On the positive side the folded clothes washed well and dried quickly, I now use them in the nappy system that we found to work for us. I am so glad I persevered with other types of cloth nappies because this ...

GOOD FOR WINTER but may CAUSE NAPPY RUSH in summer
Review of Kooshies Nappies by
sleepybaby
Advantages: nice looking, well fitted, easy to look after
Disadvantages: still leak, may cause a nappy rush
...two pack of new Kooshies for £5 each (£10 for 10 nappies !) in a second hand baby shop we were over moon. Grabbed the bargain and run away before the seller has changed her mind. I think if you bought them for full retail price they will cost us around £80. It sounds a lot after we paid only £10 but I think they worth it but not during the summer time. i will explain why.
WHAT GOOD about Kooshies?
1) SNUGLY SHAPE. They fit very well. Thanks to ... ...softer.
WHAT BAD about Kooshies ?
1) LEAKAGE. They are fine while your baby is little and does everything in small quantity. When by baby was 2 month old I found more leaky nappies every day. The booster pad helped but it also made a nappy very bulky between baby legs. I believe it restricted my baby movement while she was laying on her back and trying to move her legs. 2) NAPPY RUSH . When spring came I noticed that my baby had a symptoms of nappy ...

cottoned on?.....almost:(
Review of Cotton Bottoms Birth to Potty System by
floppet
Advantages: cheap
Disadvantages: nappy rash
i decided to try these nappies as they're much cheaper than most of the nappy systems on the market. i only bought the medium size to give reusable nappies a try. i was amazed at how easy they are to use - fold nappy to form 3 layers for maximum absorbency, then cover with waterproof nappy wrap. as long as the nappy is changed every 2 hours baby should remain considerably dry, however i have found leakage with baby's soft poos. a possible solution ... ...ones arent so good. i would recomment these to anyone that wants to give reuseable nappies a try without the expense. unfortunately my son developed nappy rash that wouldnt go away with the use of nappy rash cream so i'm using disposables now.
please dont let my experience stop you from trying out reusable nappies:) ...
