Are they just a wrap? Confused :hohoho: :hohoho: I just need a cheap quick fix to last till PT'ing now (hopefully the summer??) Getting very cross with her outpeeing everything including her duo wraps now :cry:

I can't believe she is outpeeing her duo wraps :shock: - they are bomb-proof for lily.

So far I've found 2 bg's with good leg elastic - the others I've found so far are a bit slack which doesn't matter for lily but does for Soph.

Yes its a wrap and you can have either an organic cotton or microfibre insert. Have a look here at the pictures http://www.peachytots.co.uk/index.cfm/t ... e-popper/- It will be similar to putting a prefold in a duo wrap.

They are damp on the ouside alot, but no leaks as of yet. I still use them daily but it's the nappies, she just pee's through them all! Yesterday she only had one small bottle of water and leaked through about 6 nappies :roll: :-? :hohoho:

Hate the cheapies too :( We had some off ebay and they were just awful! 2 of the PUL cracked after just a couple of washes, and 1 was never even waterproof from the start! Couldnt get a refund from them either, now I only ever buy from UK retailers! (and avoid china made too, not just for quality purposes but also for ethics)

Would never buy cheapies again, worth spending the extra few pounds IMO for all concerned!

we're going to grab more of these in size 2 I think:
http://www.teamlollipop.co.uk/shop/popngro-pocket-nappy-2086-0.html

They're very good, I had my doubts when I tested them as the inserts seemed so thin, but they really work. And if you adapt the stuffing with what you have at home (extra bamboo/hemp) then they last really well. thinner and a bit softer than a BG, but very generous in the sizing. The size 1 that says up to 20lbs lasted Ryan to abou 2 months ago- the same time he grew out of the Pop-in. He still wears the size 2 popped down instead of fully opened and is 35lbs at least and only really fitting Easyfits right now!
