I think the V3 have stretchy tabs for the velcro fastening, I only have V3s so not sure that is the only difference. Hopefully someone that knows more will be along soon to help

i'd like to know myself! i was sold 3 BGv3, yet when they arrived 2 had green writing on the labels and one had blue writing, so theyre obviously different :roll: i think the blue writing one is a bit higher on the rise too, but dont quote me on that! :wink:

The v3 has an "insert stopper" which is stretch of PUL fabric on the top inside of the nappy. It's supposed to stop wicking.

Here is a picture of a v2:

This is a v3: See the arrow "waterproof outer and insert stopper"

Hope that helps.

The V2s only have one insert - the V3s have an additional mini insert that poppers in, and for use on the smaller rise

I had some V2 and V3s and I found the V3 has a larger pocket opening and so was easier to stuff. Another slight difference I found was that the V2 was slightly taller and so had a slightly higher rise. All-in-all tho I found they worked the same and could only really differentiate them by the shape of the stretchy tabs - the V2 are bigger.
