Detailed Comments:
We bought loads of these after using a trial kit and decided that these were best for our needs. The size 2 Flexitot is quite bulky on a newborn but works fine if you can put up with the bulk. The flexitot is narrow between the legs so the fit is good from a young age.
The bamboo insert folds out for quicker drying and I have found that these are very quick drying for a bamboo nappy.
There is plenty of room to boost the nappies and I can imagine that if you have a light-reasonable wetter, you could boost these enough for overnight.
The wet resistant outer means that woolies and wraps stay dryer but the fabric is still breathable.
I think there are two things which let this nappy down:
1) There is no stay dry lining so I use fleece liners
2) The legs are very rounded and only slightly elasticated. This makes them very comfortable for baby but does allow poo to escape which means that everytime baby poos, the wrap will need washing.
Overall, I am really pleased with these nappies, they aren't pretty but that gives me an excuse to buy gorgeous wraps and woolies.
