First block colour then two prints.

Nappy and 2 inserts

Little lamb one size pockets are very trim fitting which I personally love. They are easy to wash and stuff. The boasters are very absorbent.The new limited edition prints are beautiful. The poppers make it difficult for my toddler to remove which is an added bonus. Each nappy comes with two removable bamboo cores which are very absorbent which also helps to speed up drying times. The inside is lined with soft microfleece which helps to keep babies bum dry.

Royal Wave by Tots Bots

For the birth of the new Royal Baby, Tots Bots created a new Royal nappy print the Royal Wave. Which was released on the 2nd May 2015 the day when Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana was born.

This isn't the first royal birth nappy the Royal Flush Nappy which was brought out in 2013 when Prince George was born.

On Prince George's first birthday they also released the Birthday nappy.

Reusable Nappy Week Meme Competition Prize

As regular readers of my blog will know, I won the Meme competition just before the start of Reusable  Nappy Week and yesterday I received my prize. It was shipped by The Nappy Lady so I'm guessing that retail supplied the prize. thank you so much.

The prize consisted of 5 birth to potty nappies in a range of styles, out of the five nappies two were from brands I haven't tried before.
1) Tots Bots Easyfit V4 - Treasure (£16.99)
2) Close Pop-ins v2 - Robots (£15.99)
3) Daisybirds Kids (DKB) - Violets (£9.99)
4) Wonderoos v3 Pocket - Festival (£14.99)
5) Little Lambs Pocket limited edition print- Fresh green Stripe (£12.50)

I have previously reviewed two of these nappies already on my blog but do intend to review the rest once I've put them them through their paces.

Bamboo Nappy

Little Lamb fitteds are available in 3 sizes: size 1 7lbs-20lbs (3kgs-9kgs); size 2 20lbs- 38lbs (9kgs- 17kg), size 3 35lbs+ (16kgs+). With the exception of size 1, all nappies come with a fast dry fold-out bamboo booster (size 1 have it separate as newborns won't need the booster at first). The size are roughly size 1- newborn to 9 months, size 2- 9 months to potty training, size 3- night time for older tots.

The inside with booster.

Firstly, this nappy is really easy to put on even my husband can get them on my daughter! Simply fold the sewn in boaster to however desired, then place fleece liner on top, next fasten the Velcro around baby and finally fasten a wrap over the top. I'm impressed they are actually so trim fitting as normally with fitteds I tend to think they are bulky!

Secondly, they are really reliably and absorbent nappy, last from 6pm-7am easily. In fact, when wore
with a little lamb wrap they are a breast fed, bombproof combination! These nappies are very thirsty
and hold even the heaviest wetters urine. With using a liner it allows for easier cleaning. I'm very impressed with the absorbency of a mid price range nappy(£9 each). 

Thirdly, laundry is very simple and wash and line dry, being Bamboo in the winter they take a long time to dry. However, do ensure you follow the washing instructions and don't exceed the 40c temperature as some of my older ones have actually shrunk slightly and in some places the bamboo is a little bald.

The only real criticism is until recently the wraps were only available in colours but in 2015 they have brought out limited edition print wraps. For such a brilliant nappy, I'm not actually sure why I haven't used it during the day time. I think I'll have to give it a go and report back. (I'll update later with a picture of it on dd).

Nappy covers - Wool Longies by Little Pants

I've been meaning to publish this review for ages. Wool covers have been used for cloth nappies for ages before PUL came along. I won a review competition May 2014 on The Cloth Nappy Tree and my prize was a pair of Wool Longies. I've always fancied trying wool and was going to knit my own but after researching it and discovering it sounded to complicated. Well after a message from Ali the owner of Little Pants after receiving my prize I felt confident and took the bull by the horns.

Detailed Comments:
Oh my god wool is amazing. I was a bit worried how this would work but dd didn't leak and her legs were nice and warm. The fit is lovely and the colours are great. I was concerned it would stink in the morning but I was surprise to find it didn't stink. Wool really is magic, I expected it to feel damp but it doesn't. I can see me needing more wool wraps.

To wash them you simply do it by hand using a wool wash after a weeks use as you can let them air during the day. Once washed fill a bowl with warm water add one sachet of Lanolin allow to dissolve then submerge wool Longies in and leave over night in the morning remove from water and roll Longies in a towel to remove excess water then dry flat.

Tots Bots Easyfits V4 are super easy to fit as they fit like a disposable, which makes it easy for other family members to use. Easy nappy comes with a booster that attaches with poppers to the nappy then can be folded if necessary (for a boy) then stuffed into the nappy. Tots Bots have a wide range of prints in Easyfits they also team up with Frugi ( my favourite clothing brand) and bring out 4 nappies twice a year in around April and October time. They have an adjustable rise on the front which helps them to fit from Birth to potty training.

The main disadvantages  with this nappy is that with the booster in it makes dd's bum look huge and they take quiet a long time to dry in the winter.

Bamboozles are a two part system the consist of the nappy and a waterproof wrap. Bamboozles are very soft and absorbent and fit like a disposable nappy. They last a night with the addition of the clip in extra booster. They are slim fitting and have a slight stretch which makes them fit perfectly every time. They are available in two sizes; size 1 (6-18lbs) and size 2 (9lbs -35lbs BTP).

The red is the Flexi wrap and the blue is the Bamboozle.

The inside of the bamboozles showing the booster.

We have 5 of the bright colours bamboozles and a flexi wrap which is the old style cover. When you first get them they take up to 10 washes to reach full absorbency. My only real criticism is that you have to watch that the colours don't run on your other nappies. The red one had a warning label attached to it when I purchased it. These nappies take quiet a while to dry in the winter. These work really well and easily last a whole night. These nappies are good as the rise is adjustable at the front with snaps.
