Detailed Comments:
It has 2 snap in boosters that lay inside but even with both snapped in the nappy is very slim fitting. My only reason for dropping 1 mark on slimness was due to the nappy being so hard the edges around the leg don't give a smooth line as they ruffle out iyswim.
Having said that, this is completely forgiven as these are amazingly absorbant nappies with excellent containment and last my heavy wetter all night with 1 extra insert/booster between nappy & wrap/wool. This fantastic absorbency for me far outweighs the slow drying speed (although I imagine this wouldn't be such an issue with a tumble dryer). I regularly choose this as my night nappy over my Weenotions or Puddlekins night nappies because absorbancy is just as good but as the nappy is so slim fitting I imagine it's more comfortable for LO lying down all night.
The nappy I have is completely plain (a neutral natural fibre colour) so wins no awards for cuteness! However I'm sure this could be dyed if you wanted to jazz it up, and because it requires a wrap anyway no one sees the nappy so you still end up with gorgeously cute bum with the wrap
I bought mine pre-loved so possibly an older version as from looking on their website they now have rainbow trim stitching and coloured snaps.
For me the negatives are the fact that the nappy is incredibly hard and if I don't rub the entire nappy and both inserts (against itself / over clothes horse bars etc) to soften it up a bit then it feels quite rough to put next to baby skin. I do live in a very hard water area without a tumble dryer so I am seeing this issue at it's worst.
The other issue is the sizing as my LO has just turned 1 and she only has one waist snap left to go and no more rise snaps (and this has been the case since i bought it when she was about 9/10 months old). I would be surprised if this nappy lasts past 18 months if my chunky and long baby continues to grow at the same rate (but I will happily come back and amend this comment if nappy proves me wrong)! I imagine this would however fit a baby from a very small size (possibly even absolute newborn) and you could easily leave out the long booster at that age and have plenty of absorbency.
Overall a massive
and well worth searching out as they don't seem that easy to find in UK.
