Bambino Mio and all they have to offer.

Advantages: Can be used with more than one child to save extra money , 100 % cotton
Disadvantages: Quite costly

...wash in boiling water? Nope, they just go in the washing machine - Great! I tried all the different nappies and one stood out, Bambino Mio, it was easy to use, the design was nice and it looked to be the most comfortable for my baby, it wasn't bulky either, so I went out and purchased a few more wraps and nappies and claimed back £30 of my spend. Bambino Mio nappies are made up of 3 separate parts... Mio Nappy - this is a cotton towel like pad. The pad is made up of layers of cotton so it absorbs well, the middle of the pad is a bit thicker than the rest. Bambino Mio say it can be folded in different ways to suit the baby's shape and size, however I have always just folded it into 3, when you buy nappies you get a little folding booklet which shows 3 different folds, the basic fold where you fold into 3, the extra absorbency fold...

Reusable Nappies- Bambino Mio

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

...We have used these nappies for over a year now for our third child after using disposables for the 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 inner and reuse this part. Then there is a rectangular cotton nappy that is several layers thick. You fold this and wrap a liner around it and place it in the shell. Don't be put off by the folding- it is literally two folds, nothing like the old Terry nappies. There are two different ways to...

Bambino Mio - Great for 'My Baby'

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

...size nappies as each size fits two covers sizes eg. Size 1 fits Newborn & Small, Size 2 fits Medium & Large etc. The covers come in various designs. I purchased White, Animals and Spots. I believe there are also Frogs, Space and maybe 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!!). During the early days when I was breastfeeding and 'poos' were particularly runny, the poo did leak on the cover a few times but never on to the clothes...

Review of Bambino Mio Liners

Bambino Mio, very hard to get on baby.

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

...I decided that now that my baby's growth had slowed down that I would move onto re-usable nappies. Having looked 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 got the nappy on...result, or so I thought. Unfortunately 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...

Bambinos not for Me-o

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

...When I decided I wanted to try out reusable nappies. I looked on the internet, and bought pretty much the first thing I came across. Ok, ok, hindsight is a great thing, and possibly a teeny bit of research would 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 to slow it down, as with shaped nappies, but they lack some of the absorbancy of a terry. We didn't get on very well for nighttime use, as my baby is a very heavy wetter...

Bambino Mio Nappies

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

...I have one son who is now 10 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 problem we have found is that we sometimes come close to running out of the covers, esp like at present with the onset of teething, so I would personally recommend more than 3. It also means that I don't need to have the washing machine running everyday! I have tried a couple of other brands (due to being given trial packs) but still feel the bambino ones are...

Review of Bambino Mio Reusable

A great product but beware of mio soft covers!

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 layers and with a biodegradable paper liner that flushes down the loo that wraps around to collect solids. The difference is the waterproof covers that go around the prefolds. There are three different covers and I have tried all three, this is been a bit of a road to discovery with my first born. The cover that is with the birth to potty pack and seemingly the most popular is...

Review of Bambino Mio Reusable

Bambino mio nappies are great!

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 for me. I bought the birth to potty pack when i was expecting 2 years ago and found that i need to buy a few more outer shells and cloths so I would not have to wash so often. it is hard to find time to wash these when you have a new born baby. I manged to gaion more clothes and outer shells and also I had to buy mors shells to replace the ones we had as not as durable as they say...

Review of Bambino Mio Reusable

Look Can You See That Tower Of Nappies?????

Advantages: Saves the Environment
Disadvantages: Initial Outlay Expensive

...Today I would like to bring to your attention how much those who buy disposable nappies contribute to this countries landfill problems. Nappies are classed as municipal waste which means that when you stick them in the bin after use they have only one place to go and that's into landfill sites. Nappies we use account for a huge 4% of all household waste taken to landfill and it equates to one tonne of waste in landfill for every baby in disposables up to the age of 2 and a half. I had been reading this quite frankly horrifying figures and decided that I would have to start using re-usable nappies. I looked at many brand of re-usable nappies but finally settled on Bambino nappies. Now I am not going to tell you they are really cheap as they are not but in the long run you will be saving money, it is all to easy to think of the initial...
