Littles & BloomzReusable Pocket Cloth Nappy, Fastener: Popper, Set of 1, Pattern 15, Without Insert

These nappies are the best! I bought 24 nappies, and 34 bamboo inserts. I've been using them for 11 weeks now, my baby went from 3.5 kg up to 5+ kg or however heavy she is now.Pros:- Easy to take care of- Great and cute colour and pattern options- Easily customisable with different inserts- Adjustable, only need to buy a few and they can last up until child is potty trained- CHEAP- Comfortable, my baby is quite happy in them and she's picky!Possible cons:- Mine leak after 3 hours, so at night either put baby in a disposable as I do, or you'll have to change your LO in the middle of the night which is annoying- The yellow mustard-coloured poo stains are impossible to get out completely, without serious work. I don't care about that, really, but if you do...- They're bulky, baby has less mobility than with disposables. I expect this to get better when she gets bigger (and I've already seen an improvement)- My baby notices immediately when she's pooed in them, a bit quicker than with disposables, and demands to be changed immediately.- Bamboo inserts get dried on the radiator, otherwise they create too much fluff in the dryer, so that takes a while. Just make sure you buy 10 extra so you have alternatives.In addition, the company selling these, YellowBloom, has fantastic customer service! They let me exchange a nappy I bought without any issues whatsoever!My care regimen: after changing I put the nappy in the bucket (without water). Twice a week I take the nappies out, separate the liner and the nappy, and put them in the washing machine. I wash them at 40C with prewash, and put a small amount of detergent in both the prewash and the regular wash. Then the nappies themselves get dried in the dryer (which makes a lot of noise, somewhat annoying), and the inserts on the radiator.

I bought twelve of these nappies along with some microfibre and some bamboo inserts, and have used them with my baby since she was 2 months old. The inserts are super absorbent, which means her wees aren't sitting against her skin for hours on end when she sleeps longer at night, and the wraps dry really quickly after washing. (Just FYI, I've found the bamboo inserts take a bit longer to dry). The poppers mean I can make the nappy 'smaller' to fit her now (see picture 1), and as she gets bigger, won't need to do them up so that we can - hopefully - keep using them until she's potty trained. One downside is they are quite bulky when the poppers are done up for a smaller baby, and I don't think these would have worked when she was newborn as she was just too tiny. But other than that, we seldom get leaks, the designs are gorgeous, and they wash really well - barely any stains after two months of use! I can highly recommend these, especially as other brands can be quite pricey.

We came to reusables a bit later than planned (after weaning) but these are great. I highly recommend using them with the Alva baby charcoal inserts (from somewhere like Fill Your Pants) as they have softer stitching around the edges than the L&B charcoals so they mould to baby better, although both are great in absorbency and quick-drying. If you’re really on a budget, L&B are very very similar apart from the stitching & as such may even be more durable over long-term use. I really like that the fleecy top layer of the charcoal inserts stays dry(ish).There is very little difference between these and the Alva nappies - Alva is very slightly bigger, more expensive and comes with a micro fibre insert by default, which I wasn’t too keen on. I prefer L&B.Everything with reusables comes down to personal preference and what suits your baby, but for extra comparison, we have also tried these inserts:Baba & Boo hemp - very absorbent, they shrink a lot in length on washing (not really an issue, but noticeable), quite bulky but if it’s the last nappy before bed, we can often just use a single insert. If you buy these from Fill Your Pants you get free delivery currently, even if buying other items too so it’s a great way to experiment with different inserts ;)Little Lamb bamboo - very soft, very slow to dry, definitely stay ‘wet’ in the nappy (there’s no core to wick away to). I’ve packed these away for now.Bambino mio boosters - microfibre-style but with a wicking top layer, can be picked up very cheap from Aldi at times, good alongside a charcoal but take a bit longer to dry.Just a note on washing - we go against the standard advice but it works well for us:Remove liner & solidsRinse inserts under cold water & wring out a few timesKeep nappy separate (dry, or dampen inside slightly if stained)Run on a quick wash every night with bibs (20-30 mins with liquid detergent)Then every so often, run on a full wash, often with powder detergent for a more intensive washThe world or reusable nappies can be very confusing but Littles & Bloomz is a very good place to start!

After doing A LOT of research I decided to take the plunge into using these reusables.Pros:-They have so many cute designs-They are VERY affordable in comparison to other top brands-They have a very good pocket size-They have a lot of different popper sizes-They have a very soft inner lining-They have a really good fit around both legs and belly-They can be adapted with different inserts if you need to-Easy to get used to and brilliant for first time cloth users-When used with inserts (sold separately) they offer a great absorbency-Very good fit for ages (my 16kg 2 year old still fits in them-HUGE reduction in nappy rashes-Comfortable for baby-So much LESS bulk than other brands (my child can still wear his sized clothes regardless of cloth nappy which isn't always the case with some brands)-Will save you hundredsNo cons to reportI would 100% recommend them for anyone looking to get into cloth. These are a very affordable and brilliant way to start
