Tots Bots Nappies

...I hadn't even heard of tots bots or even shaped nappies for that matter but I am proud to say I have been converted! When I first started looking for cloth nappies I was completely overwhelmed, there were so many different makes and types of nappy there was no way my "after baby" brain could take it all in lol but I soon learnt that they all do the same job and you really don't need that much stuff to start... My first order consisted of... 10 ...
...most shaped nappies ~ tots bots belong to this family and come in 3 sizes, size 1 is around 6 - 20lb, size 2 is around 18 - 35lb and size 3 is 35+. Shaped nappies normally come either applix fastening (which to you and me is velcro lol) non applix which is hey! no velcro lol and instead you use what is called as a nippa grippa, this is instead of a nappy pin and it has "teeth" that grip the nappy, very easy to use, or you get some with a press stud ...

Review of Tots Bots Nappies

...of the other reviews on Tots Bots I felt I had to write my own about my experience purchasing these great nappies and how we get on with them!! I feel it is important to have the information about not just the nappies themselves but also the kind of service that you receive when purchasing them, my review is more about this than the actual product. So here goes, it all started when we found out that I was expecting twins and my partner went on ...
...And the result was that Tots Bots were the latest trend and they not only looked cute but were very great to use! He tried to get me interested in them but I just couldn't look past the "ohh my god i'm having twins so that is double the work load". Not to be detered he just kept talking about how great they were and how much money they would save us!! All I kept thinking about was "extra washing and drying"!! Then last year we went to the Baby ...

Review of Tots Bots Nappies

...do require a wrap, and Tots Bots make their own brand. The Tots wrap is a polyurethane coated breatheable ployester aplix fastening wrap, with plenty of room for a huge Tots Bots as you would expect, or any other cloth fitted nappy or prefold you might wish to use it with. Tots Bots also makes the famous Red Wrap, which is a red fleece aplix fastening wrap. The fleece wraps are meant for use mostly at night, as the fleece allows optimal air circulation ...
...go. SO I sold my tots on and bought some Nappy Nation No Fold terries instead. The wraps are excellent value for money as you can use them over any fitted nappy. I do prefer my Cotton Bottoms Superwhisper wraps, but that is just a personal preference ove the feel of the fabric. My all time favourite night wrap has to be the fleece Red Wrap though, sheer durability, fit, and performance wise, it wins hands down. As the PUL day wraps do not have to ...

Review of Tots Bots Nappies

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. Cotton Tots: The original Tots ...

Tots bots come in several different versions and sizes. Size 1 is a newborn nappy up to about 18lbs ish Size 2 is for the 18lbs - 35lbs although these can be used as a birth to potty nappy (see futher down the page) Size 3 is 35lbs up not sure what the upper limit to these ...

These nappies retail at about £6-8 and can be bought at various shops on the web including tots bots own web site. But as I said earlier I got mine second hand off a web site called thenappylady. I got my whole set 13 nappies, boosters, wraps, liners, mesh bag and a wet bag for £59, which was a bargin ...

Review of Tots Bots Nappies

...so my love affair with Tots Bots began! So what is a Tots Bots? Basically, it is several layers of terry cotton stitched together to form a nappy shape. It has a long booster inside it – like a long flap of extra material. This booster can then be folded to provide extra absorbency where you need it – at the front for a boy or in the middle for a girl. Having the extra material as a booster instead of incorporating it in the nappy helps ...
...any excess moisture to evaporate. Tots Bots do make their own PUL and fleece wraps, but other wraps work perfectly well. Tots Bots are available in 3 sizes. Size 1 fits from 6-18 pounds, size 2 from 18-40 pounds and size 3 from 35 pounds upwards. However, sizing is approximate and depends on the shape of your baby – my chunky boy didn’t last in the size 1 for long! Also, to save money, the size 2 can be folded down to fit a smaller baby. ...

Review of Tots Bots Nappies

...baby have now been using tots bots for 9 months. Although this was written when she was only 2 weeks, everything in it is still true! The only change is that she's now in the size 2 nappies and for those I chose the ones without velcro fastenings, but I'll add a little extra below about that. I decided to use reusable nappies a long time before she was born for two reasons really. First I hate waste. Apparently 5% of *all* household waste in the ...
...but I eventually settled on Tots Bots because they looked simple and only come in two sizes (a compromise). My choice was based on reviews I read on mumsnet.com, on the company website and a little bit on instinct I suppose, but I am very happy with my choice as I’ll explain. The Tots Bots size one nappies (for newborn to 9 months) cost £6.99 each and come with an integral booster and liner (so you don’t have to buy those). You will ...

There were a variety of reasons I decided to use Tots Bots - mainly that they were made in the UK (Scotland), I had heard excellent reviews on their performance and they were the cutest nappy I had ever seen....!!!!

In the end I got twelve, coloured ones. Tots Bots were selling seconds at the time for £5.75 so ...

We also decided to buy 2 nappy pails and a spare drawstring bag as we live in a tall, thin house and I didn't want to spend half my life carrying nappies up and down the stairs! Finally, we bought a spare wrap ...

Leeds City Council is running a scheme where they'll give you a trial pack of a nappy and wrap or £20 back if you spend more than £50 on nappies, so it cost us £135. Several other councils are doing the same thing (Cambridgeshire is, for example) - worth ...

Review of Tots Bots Nappies

Tots Bots are a shaped nappy made out of terry toweling. They are reusable nappies, in that you wash them and use them again rather than throwing out with the rubish like disposables. While I was pregnant with my son I spent a lot of time researching nappies, and after deciding on cloth I then decided that tots bots (and the standard terry squares) were for me. The History of Cloth Nappies ----------------------------- Before disposables were ...
...About Tots Bots ---------------- Ok, now to the product at last! As I mentioned at the start Tots Bots are a cloth nappy made from several layers of terry toweling. They are shaped to fit the bum, so do not need folding, and are elasticated around the legs and back much like a disposable nappy. They also have an attached booster, a long rectangular section of toweling which increases the absorbancy of the nappy. They come in three sizes: size ...

They were designed by a Scottish work at home mother and are still produced by her, although with so many people raving about them I suspect she now has help!! They are available in white (bleached), unbleached or pastel colours (pastel bots). The unbleached ones are slightly more absorbant and as they haven't been exposed to ...

Review of Tots Bots Nappies

Tot bot’s. Yes I am going to be talking about nappies, tot bots reusable nappies. Changing my grandson at the weekend I realised I have yet to write a review on the nappies he wears. I am proud of my daughter using reusable nappies as so many disposable nappies are used that fill so many landfill sites. Reusable nappies are much better for the environment. There are several makes of reusable nappies available and after a lot of thought and ...
...Tot bots are shaped fitted terry nappies made in 2 sizes. The thick terry towelling is 80% cotton 20% polyester. The nappy is made of three layers of towelling and has an attached booster layer that is in a position that absorbs most wee. These nappies are shaped just like a disposable and have elasticised waist and legs for a snug fit. These nappies are easy to put on baby no folding into kites. You can buy either white nappies or unbleached ...

Review of Tots Bots Nappies

...I finally settled on the Tots Bots Bamboozles with velcro fastening. Every time I showed anyone around the nursery I made them stop at the pale filled with fluffy white nappies and preached to them about how long it takes a disposable nappy to decompose - how boring I must have been! Unfortunately, even with the best of intentions I didn't become Mother Earth and here are the reasons why. My DD was only 6 pounds when we took her home and so even ...
...that big that she couldn't lie fully flat. So the first 3 weeks of DD life we used disposables. At 3 weeks I started to use the reusables. As directed I used a nappy with diposable liner inside and wrap covering the nappy. This didn't seem like too much bother to me. To Daddy on the other hand, who had just mastered the art of getting the disposable on the right way, this seemed like lots of unneccesary work. So Mummy used reusable and Daddy used ...

Review of Tots Bots Nappies

Tots bots are one of the many reusable cloth nappies available as an alternative to disposables. Tots Bots are made by a family owned company from Glasgow, Scotland but are widely available from cloth nappy internet sites and have won many awards. I particulary like Tots because they are made from thick terry but are shaped to fit unlike the basic square terry nappy which requires folding. In fact, the Tots is made up of layers of terry and has a ...
...Please bear in mind that Tots need to be used with a wrap. The great thing about Tots is that they come either with no fastenings or with Aplix (a strong hook and loop fastening). This allows for great versatility. Personally, I prefer Aplix because it cuts down changing time and makes these nappies very very similar to disposables (much easier for daddy to change too). The Aplix versions have fold back laundry tabs to prevent your other stuff sticking ...
