Bambino Mio Reusable > Reviews

Advantages: eco-friendly, economical, no nappy rash
Disadvantages: you need to keep on top of the laundry!

...first two. I went for Bambino Mio because a) I felt very strongly that I wanted to be eco-friendly this time b) They had good consumer reviews- and I did a lot of research and c) I lived near a local stockist at the time, making it easy to get supplies and sample packs. Basically, you have an outer nappy shell with velcro fastenings which looks a bit like a disposable. It has a waterproof inner and a cotton outer. You can wipe down the waterproof ... Read review

Advantages: Cheaper Long term, No Nappy Rash
Disadvantages: Big Bottoms!!!

...others. You can also buy from Bambino Mio training pants and swim nappies if you wish. *****How Many? It really depends on how often you wish to wash them. I typically washed them every 3 days and had 12 nappies and 4 covers per size and this was adequate. *****How do they perform? They are brilliant!! I only had wet clothes on baby once and that was when I forgot to change him for over 6?!? (honestly he was so happy I just forgot!!). ... Read review

Advantages: Cost saving, environmentally sound, natural product next to bots!
Disadvantages: Mio soft cover

I started using Bambino mio with my first child and now have a baby; both are in Bambino mios'. I originally looked around at great length prior to the birth and found the bambino mio range to be the best. I liked the mio soft cover as it is cotton like on the outside and waterproof on the inside. It also had some nice patterns on it! The cotton prefolds themselves are not different to many on the market; rectangular in shape they fold into multiple ... Read review

Advantages: Enviromentally Friendly, Cotton against Baby Bottom
Disadvantages: Too many leaks

...have saved me some hassle! The Bambino Mio system works with cotton prefold nappies, and a waterproof outer wrap. Prefold nappies are lots of layers of cotton (4 on the edges, 6-8 in the centre) made into a rectangle shape, that you then just fold into a pad, sanitary towel type shape, and then put the wrap around it - like a big pair of knickers that do up with velcro at the front. Prefolds are quick drying as there are no folds in them ... Read review

Advantages: Very cheap, environmentally and baby friendly
Disadvantages: leakage for small, breastfed babies

...and the wraps. I chose Bambino Mio, because it was well advertised and easy to order, and also because prefold nappies (=just a square of absorbent cotton, to fold and fit with a wrap) are the cheapest option for cloth nappies (see previous comment for details). To begin with it was a bit difficult: you need to get used to fold the nappy, place a liner on the top (in order to catch the poo), then place it over a wrap, and finally push that under ...

Advantages: Saving money, Enviromentally friendly
Disadvantages: not for people who don't like a lot of washing

When my second son was born I decided to try and be more enviromentally friendly by trying reuseable nappies. I tryed several brands by using trail offers but found the Bambio Mio to be the most cost effective and easy to use. This is a 2 piece system of nappy with the cloth nappy and an outer cover, which means you don't have to have a clean cover every change. The nappies are 100% cotton and you fold them into three, then you place a liner on ... Read review

Advantages: Soft outer lining that didn't appear to rub.
Disadvantages: Would not contain a less than solid poo

...I however decided to use Bambino Mio reusable nappies when my child was born. I believed it to be cheaper in the long run even when washing expenses were taken into account as they could be used for subsequent children. As well as being better for the landfill. The system comprises of 3 parts, an absorbant square that is folded to form the basis of the nappy, a linner that can be flushed down the toilet and an outer cover that has velcro fastening ...

Advantages: Cheaper than disposables. Environmentally friendly?
Disadvantages: Time consuming. Bulky. Messy.

...reusable nappies. I opted for Bambino Mio as I was impressed with the information provided about them. I used them for 4 months, however during this time I found several disadvantages despite following the manufacturers user guide. 1) Although the nappy was fine when it was wet , it frequently leaked with solids. I had to use clean outer pants after each poo so was using 2 or 3 prs of pants a day, not the 1 pr which manufacturer claims. 2) The ... Read review

Advantages: Really easy to use and much cheaper than the lowest priced disposables
Disadvantages: Not really any but would probably be a bit difficult if you don't have a tumble dryer

...'Birth to Potty' set from Bambino Mio, the nappies are excellent quality and as yet we haven't had any leeks! I looked into several different brands before deciding on Bambino Mio and found they had the following advantages; -easy to wash and quick to dry, the nappies and covers all wash at 60 degrees, the covers dry quickly as they are quite thin, the nappies take a little longer but as they are simply squares of material they are quicker than ...

Advantages: Save on cost of nappies
Disadvantages: When worn and washed a lot may be less durable

I have used the Bambino mio nappies now for about 2 years. The cloth inside is very easy to fold and can be used a number of times for a number of babies, is very good at holding liquid, after a few washes in the washing machine or by hand. You can wash them in the washing machine on 60 or less, but can also wash by hand and soak. But you do not have to soak as you can bye nappy wash to go into the washing machine. I have used this method and it works ... Read review

Advantages: Environmentally friendly, cheaper than disposables (overall)
Disadvantages: Danger of running out of covers!

...months and have used the bambino mio range since he was a few days old. I used disposables for the short time I was in hospital but that was because I felt there was enough to contend with! Saying that, once I got home it didn't take long to get used to them and for no 2 I will definitely be using them from day 1. I haven't got a tumble dryer but the nappies soon dry quickly in the wintertime on the radiators, the covers dry even quicker. The main ... Read review

Advantages: they look lovely and they save money!
Disadvantages: velcro rubbing the tummy!

...before! was really impressed with the bambino mio prefold nappy system (2 different size prefolds, size 1 fits in newborn and small wraps and size 2 fits in medium, large and xlarge wraps! Fold them up quickly and easily to suit your baby, cover with a liner, put in the wrap and then put on your baby, with velcro - easy peasy!) I have found though, that if you are not careful with making sure your baby is in the right size wrap - or not putting ... Read review
