Cloth Nappy Tree Forum

Probably seems like a really dim - whitted question to all you long standing reusable users.....so advance oppologies.

Does a pocket nappy require a wrap?

or .....

do some or most pockets have a waterproof outer....... if so what is the difference between a pocket and an AIO appart from the pocket?

Do any AIO have pockets or are they then reffered to as pockets.

told you it was gunna be a daft question!!!!!

A pocket nappy has a waterproof outer and doesn't require a wrap.

However you can also get 'pocket fitteds' (swaddlebees do them for example) - these have a pocket to allow you to customise the absorbency of the nappy but don't have a waterproof outer -and so require a wrap.

AIOs have all the parts attached - waterproof outer, absorbent material in the middle, liner. Therefore you don't need to assemble them or stuff them as you would a pocket nappy. As all the parts are attached they take longer to dry than a pocket nappy.
However, to confuse you more, some AIOs have a pocket too, to allow you to add more stuffing for extra absorbency if you have a heavy wetter.

HTH a little, difficult to explain easily without showing you the nappies IRL! And not a daft question at all

Thanks Joanne!!!!

Not a daft question at all and Joanne seems to have answered it great.

WSS, theres no point me telling you again what Joanne said, you can also get AI2s too though so all in 2 parts, then they normally snap together
