I am surprised by this to I must be honest, although I do find them a bit boring they are definitely uber reliable - DH forgot to change DD before a nap when he had her the other day and her BG didn't leak even though she'd been in it over 4 hours!

I have a stash of a few which she wears when DH or Grandma have her, and I was planning on them being my nursery nappies for her when I go back to work. Might have to pick up a few preloved - chances are they will be cheaper if the V4 is better - V2 are much cheaper now than V3 I think?

As far as I know- the only difference between v2 & v3 was that the v3 have a larger hole for stuffing and a piece of PUL that goes part way down the inside front of the nappy (to stop wicking up the belly)
Maybe they are just making small changes again and possibly adding more colours/patterns? I love my v3s - got 24 of them!

I think they come with the additional newborn insert too - but yes as you say it's not much difference really.

I have had 10 brand new V3's stashed incase I ever had another baby. I got a lot very cheap when DS2 was tiny and I could never have used them all but thought it better to save some of them just incase :wink:

Hope they are the same fit & work effectively as the current one's :D


Babykind have just today released the hip hip baby nappies in minky and a few minky prints too :D

We've actually started using the RE pockets as night nappies! Boosted with a terry they last over night :shock: They're really bulky though :giggle:

Nope, it's Wonderoos and Real easy :D minkee BGs would be nice though!

I wonder why they are discontinuing them. I havent got any yet but was planning to get a few to send to the childminders and grandparents etc - they can't seem to work poppers, she always comes home with her nappy hanging off! :giggle: I might have to buy a few now. I hope that, whatever these new ones are, they aren't much different.
