The Cloth Nappy & Wipes Review Thread

Earth Softly Wipes

Bought from an eBay shop.

Style

Round white wipes, terry cotton on one side and fleece on the other. About the size of the palm of my hand.


Ease of use

10/10

Easy to use, I just spray my wipes soloution (water and baby bath, lol) onto the wipe, use then put in my nappy bucket.

Drying time.

10/10

These wipes dry mega fast, the fleece side is pretty much dry as soon as it comes out of the machine, the terry only takes a few mins!

Design

9/10

Plain white, you can get coloured ones, but they still aren't as fancy as some you can get. I prefer them white though. You can also get bamboo or hemp ones. Because they are double sided, you can wash baby with the fleece side and dry with the terry side.

Value for money.

10/10

£3 for 6 wipes, I bought 12 which does me fine.

I like them, they are easy to wash and dry, simple to use and don't cost a lot.

9/10

Only ever had a couple of leaks, and that was due to a poor wrap rather than the nappy.

Ease of use.

9/10

Very straight forward, I have the velcro version so just whip it on and its done. You can get them without and use a nappy nippa. They have a fold back option for the velcro so they don't stick to things in the wash. I dry pail with tea tree oil.

Drying time.
5/10

This is the biggest problem I think. I don't have a tumble drier and have to air dry and this can take a LONG time. Approx 36 hours. (I put the current wash out on sunday evening and they are just dry tuesday morning).

Design
7/10
I have the coloured version so Green, blue, yellow, purple and orange. They are very cute when drying, but the wrap that comes with them is white, so boring! The colours are fading, which I suppose is to be expected, but I'm just wondering how much they will fade!

Value for money.

8/10

Mostly available 5 nappies for 49.99, with one plain wrap. (However, I got mine on offer at Babies R us, 19.99 for 5!!!! So I bought 3 lots of size1 and 2 lots of size 2!)

8/10 I love the ease of using these, they last alot longer than other nappies, the big niggle I have with these is the drying time (with only 15 size 1's I have to supplement with terries whilst they dry, and when I move on to size 2's I'll only have 10 so I'll have to buy more!) and also the bizarre wraps! The wraps that are considered size 1 (so birth - 18lbs) have only just started fitting my LO who is 15lbs!!!! I had to use other wraps to begin with as these were HUGE on him and looked ridiculous, so I used motherease and Nature babies wraps which I rate very highly

Bum Genius AIO Organic


Style
All in One nappy with six layers of organic cotton all sewn in, so it's just one piece.

Absorbancy

9/10

These have never ever leaked for me during the day, but as it is difficult to add extra padding I don't use them at night. I expect they would leak then. I have used them for anything between 2-6 hours and not any problems.

Ease of use.

10/10

Simple as you can get, just put the nappy on and do up poppers to fit. Just like a disposable, but cloth!

Drying time.

6/10 (air dried)

These nappies take so long to dry as they are all one piece that I don't bother air drying, I do one wash every other day and tumble dry altogether. They recommend that they are tumble dried anyway, so it can't do them any harm!

Design

10/10

Lovely range of colours, bright ones and paler ones to choose from. They are really really slim fitting, and look gorgeous on. They don't do fancy designs, but I love the colours, so it's fine by me! My favourite nappy by far.

Value for money.

10/10

Can cost anywhere between £14.75 to £17.95 each. All of mine cost me £15.50 each and I have 11. They are worth the money as they are so good!

The only downside to these is the drying time, so just don't buy them if you don't have a tumble dryer! Other than that fab nappy and also because they are poppers, not velcro, they still look like new even after a lot of use. I will def be using these with next baby and hopefully one after that too!

# The nappy you are reviewing and a link

http://www.babykind.co.uk/fuzzibunz.htm

I have the fuzzi bunz perfect size, you can also get the one size which is suitable from birth to potty. I have a mix of the two, you also get a boaster and a large insert with the one size.

Pocket

# Absorbancy

7/10

3 hours with one insert, I have gone for 5 with no leaks. have not tried a booster yet. They also feel quiet dry to touch, as the wetness soakes through the fleece

# Ease of use

9/10

stuff the insert in and fasten the poppers to required size- so very easy.

# Drying time

8/10

The outer is almost dry coming out of the machine, the inserts take longer to dry but will dry over night on the radiator or couple of hours on the line. They can also be tumbled. Extra inserts are cheap so you could order extra of them.

10/10

# Value for Money
Around £13 each I have 14 and was every 3rd night sometimes second.

They look really nice, good boxes etc, I dont think a huge amount to the smell of the drops you put in but its not horrid.

I've only been using these wipes for a few days but i use sooo much less of them they really seem to do the job

10/10

Ease of use.

I didnt get instructions with mine which was quite annoying and had to search the internet for how to use them. But once i found out it was really easy and no bother at all. You can either put them in with your nappies or with a normal 40 wash.

8/10

Drying time.

Not long at all, but i put them on an aga over night but they can dry in under an hour.

Design

I think the way that they are set out to use is really good the only down side is that the boxes are quite big and you need somewhere to put them. Which is fine when you're using a changing table but i dont use one anymore.

9/10

Value for money.

I think they are quite good value for what you get. They're meant to save you like £200 also but i think for me it would be more i seem to go through wipes soooo fast.

I'm really converted and going to buy some more, although i havent and dont intend to use them when we go out. They are really easy to use and less chemicals and cheeper ALSO they are MUCH better at wiping off poo even a really really mucky nappy i only need 2.

This has lasted me the longest of all my AIO's including my BG AIO! It comes with an extra booster which i didnt use as it is on newborn setting and it lasts me 4 hours,probably even more if i tried.. 8 layers of bamboo cotton inc the liner!

Ease of use.

9/10

True AIO, though NB setting requires to fold the front and doenst leave room for the extra liner to pop in.

Drying time.

7/10

Im not sure but i generally hang all of my nappies out for a day and this one is dry too! (it is middle of summer here though!) But seeing it is bamboo it might take longer in a tumble dryer then average..

Design

10/10

Theyve got heaps of different fun prints and feel lovely and soft, they fit very well on my newborn and i can see them last him ages easily!!!

Value for money.

10/10

Even though they are a bit pricey, around 35 AUD dollars (19 GBP) they are definitely worth the money in my opinion!

Only because of the longer drying time.. i love these and will definitely buy myself more of them!!!

Ooooh, I'm bumping this thread as it is INVALUABLE to clueless newbies like me!! Any more reviews out there?

I think there should deff be a cloth nappy review thread as a sticky, it might be an idea if a new one is started and say every week a new nappy is reviewed and in that week everyone can put in their review good or bad, might give a broader picture then just 1 person at a time.
