I'm gonna have to sell the one I have. It leaks everytime it's used :( I had such high hopes for them too.

The one we had was a lovely trim fit on Isabelle - had to use the right stuffing as they're quite slim between the legs, but provided I went for a poly outer found them quite reliable...

Detailed Comments:
First Impressions:
The first one a bought was an instock item and came the next day! (pictured above). I was increadibly impressed before I even opened it! When I opened it the colours were so bright that I instantly loved it and the inner lining is really soft. It got worn everyday for a week and I instantly bought more. It is now part of my usual stock rotation along with others I bought.

Hilary is FAB and has excellent CS. I sent an email at 11.30pm not expecting a response until at least the next day but it was instant as is most of her replies. :D I cannot praise her enough.

There is a pocket to cover the insert to stop in coming out of the back but i found this more hassle to get pooey inserts out of the pocket.

The winged side snaps are fab. Love being able to adjust leg and belly poppers seperately.

Reliability:
This nappy is very narrow in the gusset. For this reason it is difficult to find insert and boosters that don't scrunch up in it. I do find that as some other people have said they do leak regardless of what they are stuffed with hence I have marked them down a bit on this. They happily last 2 hours though so as long as changed regularly we dont have a problem. I will add that some of the problem may be because I got the large and it might be a little big still.

Slimness
Not as slim as some of the other pockets I have. I can get jeans over the top but wouldn't like to as it looks a bit funny and is a tight squeeze.

Overall:
- lovely bright bold colours although outer could be softer. (Minkee coming soon I believe)
- lovely soft inner.
- quick to wash and dry so if you have extra insert it can be used everyday
- Well worth the money that you pay for it. A couple of hours could be longer but is still reasonable IMO.
- I love my pocket bots.

Overall comment: One of my faves!

These pocket nappies are brill. I have 5 of them, the nappy i have the most of! They are brilliant value, usually about £10 each but i just got 2 new ones in their sale for £5 each! They are lovely and slim in the crotch and have adjustable snaps on the legs and waist. They need a slim insert, I use a swaddlebee and a bamboo booster on top and they are still slim fitting and low rise. The flap that keeps the insert in is genius too! More nappies should have this!
