Cushie Tushies Couture BTP popper fastening nappy with two inserts one snap-in & one extra small booster. Both boosters are bamboo topped with fleece. The nappy can be used for a tiny baby by folding over the front & using the poppers where you attach the insert.

My daughter is 1 year old and quite chunky. The first CT I bought was one of the slimfit ones, these were made by mistake or so I believe, they are not true BTP & only fit to around 25lbs so barely fitted my chunky monkey. I would not recommend the slimfit unless you have a tiny or skinny baby.
The original CT BTP though bought from Cheeks to Cherries fitted much better but still only to around 30lbs so no good for big babies or late potty trainers. The absorbancy is quite good but we had a few small leaks from around the legs when sat in buggy, pressure wicking I think. The prints are fab & material is super soft so a real posers nappy. I love to show them off under a pretty dress or with baby legs & a t-shirt.
However I wouldn't recommend for heavy wetters or for use at night. The price is also not cheap but it depends on how old your baby is, for instance a newborn would get much more wear out of it than a chunky toddler so it would be better value the earlier you bought it.
I do not agree with the comments about drying time though I have found it to be fine. I put my wraps & outers on the airer overnight & the inners & inserts go in my tumble dryer for an hour & are perfectly dry for use the next day.
The quality is high in my opinion, so all in all a great looking fairly absorbant nappy that is great to show off but certainly not a nighttime or everyday nappy.
