Tots Bots Nappies

Advantages: cute, comfortable, reusable, cheaper in the long run
Disadvantages: none but at a push the bulk

...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 ...

Advantages: Saves loads of money, beter for your babies bums
Disadvantages: Bit more washing to do

...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 ... Read review

Advantages: Reusable, super absorbent, last overnight even with super wee'er
Disadvantages: long drying time, exspensive, super bulky, not available on high street

...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 ... Read review

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. Cotton Tots: The original Tots ... Read review

Advantages: v. absorbant, saves lots of money

...me. I bought my tots bots off a very nice person in Denmark who wanted them to go to a new home for not a lot of money so home with me they came! Right now to the nappies. 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 ...
...wrap to keep baby dry, tots bots do their own wraps but others are avalible, I'm using motherease air rikka wraps and these are fine over my tots bots. 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 ... Read review
