Nappies > Ellas House Nappies > Reusable Nappy

Advantages: 'Stay-dry' fleece lining, slim fitting, absorbant hemp
Disadvantages: Takes ages to dry, can get crispy

Ellas house 'bumhugger' nappies are a reusable nappy made from environmentally friendly hemp/cotton blend fleece. They are fully lined in fleece which keeps babies skin dry and are soft and snuggly. I came across bumhuggers in my search for a really absorbant nappy that would fit my two power-peeing toddlers! They are 18 months appart in age and very different shapes (the older one is a big chunky boy, and the littler one is a tall, slim girl) and ...
...PUL covers. Ellas house bumhuggers cost £8.95. They are sold by various cloth nappy retailers and can be bought directly from the manufacturers website. The advantage of buying from the manufacturer is that you can choose any of thier fleeces, but there is a waiting time as they are made to order. It took just over a week for my nappies to arrive when I ordered. They go well with the most popular brand of nappy wraps (motherease air flow) and have ... Read review

Advantages: Eco-friendly, very absorbent, design makes them quick to dry
Disadvantages: Takes a while to reach full absorbency (but then they just keep getting better!)

Having four children, all of whom have worn cloth nappies, I have amassed a fair collection of different types. The ones which best suited my older daughter (and I think may well suit her little sister once she has outgrown her tiny-sized bomb-proof catch-all-the-baby-poo ones) were pocket nappies, or stuffables, such as Fuzzi-bunz, Minki (we have some gorgeous embroidered show-off ones!) and Nature Babies. These are composed of a waterproof outer ...
...stay-dry inner layer (often fleece, sometimes velour, cotton flannel or even terry) and a gap between them which can be stuffed with something absorbent. You can use muslins, terry nappies, even tea-towels, but if you want something really absorbent it is hard to beat hemp. Why hemp? Hemp grows in most conditions without pesticides or fertiliser. In fact, it inhibits weed growth, enriches the soil and needs little water, making it an ecologically ... 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
