Lovely Popper fastening Pocket Nappies made in Devon

Pocket Bots, like other pocket nappies, have a waterproof outer and a fleece inner. These two layers make a pocket which you stuff with absorbent inserts to suit your baby. Pocket nappies do not need a wrap and, once stuffed, go on in one piece, making nappy changes quick and easy. They dry very quickly and their slimness makes them an ideal day time nappy.

Pocket Bots are cut to be comfortable and slim fitting. They are quite narrow between the legs, giving a very trim fit. They have a row of poppers on each side for the waist adjustment and a row for the leg adjustment. These poppers are angled to be easily adjusted for skinnier legs or fatter tummies. Unlike other pocket nappies, Pocket Bot poppers are far around the sides of the nappy - making it harder for a toddler to remove!

Pocket Bots are also unique in that they have an insert gripper at the back of the nappy to hold the inserts snuggly in place, ensuring that they won't drop into the middle or poke out of the nappy waistband causing leaks.

Small from birth to around 4 months
Medium from 3-12 months
Large for 12 months to potty training

A range of colour combinations to brighten up your nappy collection! More colours coming soon.

Pocket Bots nappies are sold without inserts. There are a variety of inserts that can be used in Pocket Bots nappies. Microfibre inserts are absorbent but slim and dry quickly. Some babies will need two microfibre inserts per nappy or one microfibre insert and a slim booster such as a bamboo booster. Hemp inserts are super-absorbent, but take a bit longer to dry than microfibre.

A Onesize Pocket Nappy from the USA with Organic Cotton Velour Inner complete with two hemp / organic cotton inserts.

The Swaddlebees Econappi is a beautiful nappy giving excellent performance. It is a Onesize Pocket nappy with poppers that adjust the fit from 8 to 35lbs approx. This means that you do not have to buy multiple sizes. The inside of the Swaddlebees Econappi is lined with the most luxurious Organic Cotton Velour. This is unique in the pocket nappy world as other manufacturers have chosen to use fleece for the inner layer. If you are keen to have organic fabrics next to your baby's skin and still want the convenience of a pocket nappy then this is the one for you.

The Swaddlebees Econappi comes with its own long rectangular insert made from hemp and organic cotton, giving superior absorbency than cotton or microfibre, but with a quicker drying time than bamboo. Hemp takes a few washes to get up to full absorbency so be prepared to wait a while before you see the real benefit of these inserts. You can still use them during this process but you will need to change a little sooner until they have had about 10 washes. When the nappy is on its smallest setting use the smaller of the two inserts, use the large insert as your baby gets bigger and both insert together when your baby is a toddler.

Using the insert outside of the pocket, just placed on the inside of the nappy (essentially using the nappy as a wrap) is an option that often works well for newborn babies, allowing the leg elastic to fit differently and increasing containment.

Econappis fit from 10 to 35 lbs approx.

We stock the popper version Econappi but we can order the Velcro version for you. Just let us know by email.

A Popper Fastening Onesize Pocket Nappy from the USA

Mommy's Touch is a Onesize pocket nappy, extending with a clever arrangement of poppers to fit from around 8lbs to 35lbs. The waterproof outer and fleece inner form a pocket, which you stuff with inserts (not included) to the level of absorbency your baby needs. This is the newer version Mommy's Touch. It is called the "Easy Clean" because there is an opening at both ends of the nappy so that the insert works its way out in the wash - no separating nappy and insert before putting in the nappy bucket!

This new version adjusts in a much neater way than the original Mommy's Touch. The waist and leg openings of the nappy can be adjusted separately to give a good fit. For bigger toddlers, extender tabs can be purchased to give further adjustment. As with all pocket nappies, Mommy's Touch dry extremely quickly making them a brilliant option for those with limited drying facilities. On average, 3 or 4 hours indoors.

Inserts: Mommy's Touch pocket nappies are supplied without inserts. They can be stuffed with a variety of absorbent inserts to suit your baby - a large microfibre insert can be folded to fit the smaller setting or you could use small inserts in the early months. We recommend Green Acre Design inserts are these are easily folded to fit in any setting. Microfibre, cotton, hemp, bamboo, whichever inserts you prefer can be used with these nappies.

Mommy's Touch nappies are fleece lined which will wick wetness away from baby’s skin, keeping it dry. As fleece stays soft despite frequent washing without fabric softner you will always be putting a soft layer next to baby’s skin.

These are gorgeous nappies in a beautiful range of colours including classic white. Some people have been put off by the name, which we must admit is a bit cheesy! But don't let that stop you from trying this excellent nappy!

The Cotton Diddy Diaper is made from unbleached, natural cotton and has soft cotton jersey (like t-shirt material) on the inside which stays super soft no matter how hard your water is.

Cotton Diddy Diapers are available with Aplix (velcro) fastenings or simply can be fastened with a Nappy Nippa fastener.

Size:

Size 1: This is a great nappy suitable for newborns and lasting up to 17lbs (7.5kg). It is one of the nicest fitting nappies for newborns that we have found, fitting from day one without being too bulky. We loved using these on our own babies as soon as they were born! The Nippa fastening version can easily be folded down at the front for very little babies, or to keep the nappy away from the umbilical area for the first few days. We have found that the size 1 fits to about 4 months and at this point some people then go straight onto a "onesize" nappy that will fit all the way through to potty training from this point.

Size 2: Size 2 Diddys are slim fitting two-part nappies that are great for the day time. They need a significant amount of boosting for night time use - something like a bamboo square folded into a pad.

The Diddy Diaper needs to have a waterproof wrap on the outside. We recommend Nature Babies wraps or Motherease wraps. Both are leak-proof, soft and very breathable.

A lovely soft, snug fitting nappy.

The Easy Peasy Bimble is made from cotton terry and has a fleece lining which is much softer against your baby's skin than terry and naturally wicks away moisture.   This nappy also has an attached terry booster increasing the absorbency but can be pulled out from the main nappy to reduce drying time.

Choose from poppers or Nappi Nippa fastening.

Size 0 is a great newborn nappy and will fit small babies to about 4 months. The Size 1 is suitable for bigger newborns and should fit to about 6 to 8 months. The Nappi Nippa version is brilliantly versitile. You can fold the front down to reduce the height of the nappy or to keep the nappy away from the umbilical area in the first few days.The Size 2 should fit from about 6 to 8 months to potty training.

The Bimble is not a bulky nappy and consequently will need to be boosted for use at night once your baby is sleeping through the night. We recommend a bamboo booster for goos absorbency for minimal bulk.

Size 0 (up to 15lb) approx

Size 1 (up to 20lb) approx

Size 2 (up to 35lb) approx

The Tots Bots Flexi Tot is a clever nappy design that makes use of all the latest fabric technology. We are really impressed with this nappy. It is a great addition to the superb range from Tots Bots.

Much quicker to dry than other bamboo nappies, the Flexi Tot is super soft, slim fitting and yet still very absorbent. Bamboo velour next to baby, microfibre inner core and stretchy, close-fitting, stay-dry fabric around the waist and the outer layer of the nappy.  

Manufacturer's Info:  
Striking a great balance between fit, absorbency and drying time. The new version FlexiTot has an improved leg fit and now comes in a Birth-to-Potty option with the addition of fold down poppers. This makes the size 1 fit from as low as 6lbs and the size 2 from 10lbs. For the majority (especially if you plan to use disposables for the first few weeks) for the size 2 is all you will need, but remember to add 4 extra size 1 wraps to your size 2 set making your Birth-to-Potty pack complete.

Don't let the slim fit and light weight fool you. The combination of fabrics and unique core construction make this as thirsty as you'll ever need. The size 2 FlexiTot absorbs more liquid than the leading disposable brand. The inner core folds out to speed up drying and also a clever little fold here gives extra absorbency where it is needed most.

Super stretchy fabrics and the slimfit design ensure it fits like a glove every time.

Tots Bots Flexi Tots nappies need a waterproof wrap over the top. Tots Bots make their own waterproof wraps in a funky range of prints (and white!). We highly recommend both Motherease and Nature Babies Wraps. Both work very well with Tots Bots nappies and are very breathable and great at stopping leaks.  

Sizing:
Size 1 - 6 to 18lbs
Size 2 - 10 to 35lbs  (birth to potty on some newborns)

Waterproof, breathable nappy wraps with Velcro or popper fastening.

Widely regarded as one of the very best on the market, Motherease wraps are highly breathable, extremely leak-proof and soft and comfortable for your baby.

They are available with popper fastening (the Airflow wrap) and Velcro fastening (Rikki wrap).

Airflow:

Popper fastening at the sides. The Airflow wrap is roomier than the slim-fitting Rikki wrap allowing a bit of air flow around the nappy. If you need to add lots of boosters to night time nappies the Airflow wrap will give you enough room for this and still fit nicely over the top.

Rikki:

The Rikki fastens with Velcro at the front. It has leg gussets to prevent leaks and is a slimmer-fitting wrap than the Motherease Airflow. Breathable and reliable and suitable over any shaped or flat nappy.

Whether you are a fan of poppers or Velcro, you will find Motherease wraps reliable over any cloth nappy and suitable for both dayor night.

Made in Canada in a factory that uses 100% green power.

Nature Babies wraps have become a firm favourite with many cloth nappy users. They are made from a waterproof PUL inner and polyester outer. The leg bindings are softer than many other wraps, making them great for night times when the wrap will be on for a long time.

Popper fastening All-in-One.

Officially Ali's new favourite nappy! Gorgeous and soft, absorbent, slim fitting, SO easy to use and fairly quick drying. Is this the perfect nappy? Time will tell as this is the Version 2 and has not been around very long. But so far, it is pretty hard to fault.

Real Easy All-in-One nappies are a fantastic new design from Hip Hip Baby. They go on in one piece (they do not need a wrap over the top) and fasten with poppers which are durable and secure. They have a gorgeously soft fleece inner layer which keeps skin dry by wicking the moisture away from the skin into the absorbent layer behind, as well as providing a stain-resistent, easy care inner. The absorbent part of the nappy is a microfibre layer sewn behind the fleece and an organic cotton soaker pad that is sewn in to the back of the nappy, but which flaps out for speedy drying. If you turn the nappy inside out for drying we have found they dry easily in a day. To use you simply tuck the organic cotton layer in behind the fleece and away you go. No extra bits to find. Genius!

The Real Easy from HipHipBaby looks just like a pocket nappy but the absorbent inserts are sewn in meaning that you do not have to collect together any other bits in order to do a nappy change. The Real Easy is completely fleece lined, keeping the whole nappy area dry. Popper fastenings for the waist and legs give some adjustability within each size. Poppers are a durable and secure fastening.

There are two parts to the absorbent element of the Real Easy; a microfibre layer is sewn onto the back of the fleece layer, in addition to this there is a flap out organic cotton layer. You simply pop it back inside the nappy once dry. Traditional All-in-One nappies (with no flap out bit) took too long to dry due to everything been sewn in together, but the new generation of All-in-Ones work brilliantly well. With the Real Easy, you don't even have to take the organic cotton layer out for washing, you just bung the whole thing into the bucket as it is and the cotton layer works its way out in the wash. Now, what could be easier than that?

HipHipBaby! have designed a unique leg elastic design that is brilliantly soft, yet leakproof. They are designed so that the outer waterproof layer does not come into contact with baby's skin. The soft fleece completely covers the elastic and there is no bulky seam, giving a lovely, gentle fit around the leg to ensure baby's comfort. Around the leg the fleece contains the wetness, whilst allowing air to pass into the nappy, allowing the skin to breathe. Fleece does not draw up liquid and cause wicking at the leg, meaning that this design is brilliantly leak-proof.

The Real Easy needs a couple of pre-washes before the absorbency gets up to speed.

Real Easy Nappies are available in a range of sizes to ensure a great fit all the time. Many babies will only require sizes Small and Medium until potty training. Sizing guide:

Extra-Small 4 - 12lb (1.8 - 4.5Kg)
Small 7 - 18lb (3.2 - 8.2Kg)
Medium 15 - 30lb (6.8 - 13.6Kg)
Large 30 - 45lb+ (13.6 - 20.5Kg+),
Extra-Large 45lb+ (20.5Kg+) for 3 to 5 year olds - great as a night nappy as there is plently of space to put extra boosters if required.

Fleece lined newborn-sized bamboo nappy. Popper or Velcro fastening.

The Bambeasy Size 0 is the cutest newborn nappy we have seen. It is the kind of nappy that makes disposable users green with envy and it is always the one that makes Grannies go all gooy when we do demos! This is an ideal newborn nappy for twins or small newborns. These nappies are easy to fold away from the umbilical area in the first week after birth as there is no excess bulk to this nappy.

Completely fleece-lined, keeping baby's skin dry. A booster (extra layer of bamboo to increase absorbency) tucks behind the fleece layer, then flaps out during drying to decrease drying time.

Bamboo is a stay-soft, super absorbent fabric. It is fast growing, making it a sustainable crop, it does not need pesticides and can be grown organically. It is also naturally antibacterial. But (there has to be one), bamboo takes longer to dry than other fabrics.

The Bambeasy Size 0 fits from 5lbs to 15lbs.

When your baby grows out of the Size 0 you can go on to the Easy Peasy Bambeasy BTP (Birth to Potty, but fits from around 10lbs) which will then fit right the way through to potty training.

Any of our wraps will fit over the Bambeasy, but if you would like to retain the slim fit of the Bambeasy Size 0 we recommend the Motherease Rikki XS wrap.

Lavender has a lovely soothing, relaxing smell but still has antifungal properties. Lavender is considered the safest essential oil for newborns. It is a great addition to a washable wipes solution.

If using in wipes solution spot test on a small area of skin first before general use in case of allergic reaction.

10ml £2.99
30ml £6.99

Thick cotton terry with a fleece lining to keep baby's skin dry, even all night. There is a pocket behind the fleece layer which can be stuffed with extra boosters or pocket nappy inserts to make a nappy suited to your baby's needs. A fantastic night time nappy.

The Bumble has a flap out booster to aid quick drying. This booster is also removable and the nappy can be poppered down 'inside itself' to use the lower set of poppers for newborn babies.

Bumbles can be used as a day time or night time nappy. They are quite bulky, but brilliantly absorbent.

Any of the brands of wraps that we stock can be used with this nappy. If you intend to use this nappy at night and will be boosting it, you will probably need a bigger sized wrap than you use in the daytime.

A clever popper arrangement allows adjustment from 8lbs to 35lbs. Remove the detachable booster for the smaller setting.

Flat nappies that are folded into a pad shape and used with a suitable wrap such as Weehuggers. When you do a nappy change just change the prefold and (hopefully!) re-use the wrap.

Prefold systems have a reputation for being leaky and the second hand cloth nappy market is flooded with prefolds that have put people off cloth nappies all together. So why are we stocking them? We have tried a variety of prefold systems and at last came across Weehugger wraps. And guess what? Thay work!  So . . . finally, prefolds are in our collection!

These prefolds are lovely quality organic cotton. The cheapest way to get organic cotton on your babies bums!

The Mooncup is the original silicone menstrual cup designed by women to be a convenient, safe and eco-friendly alternative to tampons and sanitary pads. Loved by women all around the world, and made in the UK by a multi-award winning ethical business, the Mooncup offers an end to the waste, discomfort and expense of disposable sanitary protection.

Safer

Made from soft medical grade silicone, the Mooncup is latex-free and contains no dyes, BPA, toxins or bleaches. It’s also great for women with sensitive skin. Tampons can cause dryness and leave fibres behind. The Mooncup is designed to respect your natural balance.

Greener

On average, one woman will use over 11,000 tampons or pads in their lifetime, which will end up in landfill or in the sea.

Cheaper

One woman uses up to 22 items of sanitary protection every period. Regardless of your flow, you only need one Mooncup, and it lasts for years and years, making it the most economical sanitary product you can buy.

The Mooncup is around two inches long and made from soft medical grade silicone. It is worn internally a lot lower than a tampon but, while tampons and pads absorb menstrual fluid, the Mooncup collects it. This means it doesn’t cause dryness or irritation, and also that it collects far more (three times as much as a ‘super-absorbent’ tampon’!). Because the Mooncup is reusable, you only need one so it saves you money and helps the environment, too.

Size Because vaginal and pelvic floor tones naturally reduce with age, the size ‘A’ is recommended for women aged 30 or over. The difference between the ‘A’ and the ‘B’ is only small (3mm), but it is crucial. Size ‘A’ is also recommended for all women who have given birth vaginally, regardless of age.

Size Designed for young girls and women under the age of 30 who have not given birth vaginally. It may also be suitable for women over the age of 30 who have had corrective surgery to the vagina, or who are advanced in tone-maintaining activities such as yoga, dance or pilates.

Tots Bots Waterproof wraps are ideal for using over any Tots Bots fitted nappies - the FlexiTot, Bamboozle, Organic Cotton Tots, and can also be used over all other brands of shaped nappies.

Snug fitting with Aplix (like Velcro) fastenings. Crossover tabs enable them to expand as your baby grows. Soft, anti-wicking, leg binding which is gentle to baby's skin.

The Rainbow Tots Bots Wrap is a stretchy, lightweight wrap made from soft material with a PUL membrane. These gorgeous prints are sure to cheer up your nappy collection and make your baby's nappy years much more fun!

Sizing:

Size 0: Birth to 12lbs

Size 1: 10 to 20lbs

Size 2: 20 to 35lbs

The Nature Babies Big Softie is a great nappy and is now available in super-soft bamboo or economical cotton.

UK made fleece-lined cotton nappy that adjusts from birth to Potty-Training so you only have to buy one set.

The Big Softie has a number of features that makes it a real winner. For newborns, the nappy is folded down at the front to shorten the height, then the nappy is fastened in place using a Nappi Nippa giving a snug and not too bulky fit from around 7lbs.

If your newborn is very little, you can just use the boosters on their own inside a close fitting wrap, before you move onto the nappy itself. As baby turns into a toddler the Big Softie nappy is used at its full height at the front and the boosters are added as required (behind the fleece lining so this is still closest to the skin).

Nature Babies really have thought of everything with the Big Softie! A brilliant design from a very experienced UK nappy manufacturer.

The Big Softie needs a waterproof wrap on the outside. Nature Babies' own wraps are one of the best on the market and a great combination with this nappy.
