Are Swaddlebees Blue Berry's??

[~J'dore~]

I was looking at the Swaddlebees AIO pocket nappies on the wee wuns site and I'm sure that they are exactly the same as blue berry's??? The even the solid colours are named exactly the same?

[stellarella]

Nope, they are totally different. I have both. :)

[~J'dore~]

Have you seen the pics on the wee wuns site? Have a look the colour chart and the pics underneath it.

[stellarella]

Yep I have :D

Trust me, they are veeeerrry different.

The whole shape of the nappy is totally different...the number of snaps...the type of materials, the style of the pocket section....:)

[~J'dore~]

Which do you prefer?

[stellarella]

Ummm. I prefer the fit of swaddlebees but I prefer the minkee of blueberries.

If you are going for a plain PUL style then go for swaddlebees. If you want the delightful minkee then blueberries are devine.

Swaddlebees are very trim. Like a sposie whereas blueberries are much more generous.

Thanks:)

I might have to try them both :yes:

There are a few different types of Swaddlebees... organic velour fitteds (OSFA), pul pockets (snaps), pul pockets (aplix). I have the side-snap organic velour pockets and they are FANTASTIC nappies. Really really lovely, very trim and have lasted us 12 months fine, with much more wear left in them. In fact they still look new (ish!). I got a size large even though at the time Ariene was only 6 months old and it was fine. She's still on the smallest snaps, so plenty of room yet! It's nice to have natural materials against her skin too, instead of suedecloth and fleece from time to time. It has a layer of fleece behind the velour though to help pull moisture through fast still.
Ok that's enough from me :o :D

ETA: Oh and I have both too!

the new hoop and loop swaddlebees are the same as the blueberrys, they even have the same patterned pul. blueberry and swaddlebees are two stores, but owned by same company...

I wouldnt go with a swaddlebees to be honest :o So if they are like the Blueberry's i may have to pass on the order !

Swaddlebees are great cause they are trim etc but for us that means DP's large hands cant stuff them properly & it also means they cant be stuffed for my super heavy duty wee'er ! We had so many leaks i gave up & passsed mine on !

[mumofsam]

well i dont have any swabblebees, i know they are trim though, and my blueberrys are deff trim!

the new hook and loop swaddlebees seem the same pattern, with different fabrics.

the blueberrys on sale now though are stuffable AIO, it sounds like you only need to stuff them for nights and in times of heavy weeing!

[stellarella]

In comparing the side snapping blueberries and side snapping swaddlebees they are vastly different. They dont look even vaguely similar except they are side snapping.

I dont use aplix so cant comment.

soooo soooo different! I looooove my blueberrys wayyyy better than my swaddlebees! the fit is great, its pretty trim, not THE trimmest, but still nice and thin i dont have to put him in a bigger pair of pants etc, reallllly absorbant... the minky designs are sooo funky... even the solid colour BB minkys are great!! :D

Whilst they have different names i have heard from a reliable source that they are both manufactured by the same company therefore similar but not the same IYKWIM.

Blueberry diapers were started by a WAHM in America... i dont think they have anything related to swaddlebees... i could be wrong though.
