I like green kids pockets with a bamboo insert...
Itti snap ins are great but they are not pocket nappies, they are classed as an AI2...
Issybear make a pocket nappy......
Babybeehind magicalls are near enough to be a pocket nappy...

Ittis, magicalls and greenkids make up most of my stash :)

Bumgenius (with an extra bamboo insert) is good.

Issy Bear are good, but bulky.

Fluffy Bubs are gorgeous, but hard to get.

Magicalls are good.

Not keen on Green Kids myself.....not sure why, they just don't do it for me.

Issy Bear and Green Kids for me.
You can also try Peapods - they are very economical choice - perhaps not as pretty as some others but they work. But my favourite is definitely Issy Bear!

I can't wait to try all of mine. Issy bears are definitely the cutest I've seen.

Sorry to crash your thread but for those who use Issy bears, do you use different inserts (like a slimmer bamboo) instead of the ones included?

I use the Issy Bear inserts even in my Peapod and Green Kids pockets! I love them! They are really absorbent, they don't bunch up like the GK or Peapod inserts do, they 'look' bulky - but they are so soft and they are not bulky at all when the baby wears it. My DS is 7.5 kg, he's wearing his Issy Bear nappies, Minky, Day or Night (yes even with those huge night insert) under his Bonds 'Wondersuit' size 0. I thought that was not possible, but he does! That tells you it is not bulky at all, and it feels so soft when you pat baby's bum, unlike when he's wearing Peapods or GK inserts (which I have ditched completely).

I'm a Blueberry pocket fan. I have peapods, hautes, BGs, Fuzzybunz and Blueberry is my favourite still. Oh and the magicall pocket is ok as well.

Magic-Alls are really considered a pocket AIO.. Because they don't NEED to be stuffed.

Anyway, I've only tried green kids and they aren't really my favourite. They do come in some cute designs but feel a bit plastic-y to me and not as soft as most of my other nappies.

I had a look at Issy Bears, they do look cute. I have to admit I particularly LOVE the doll nappies. :)

I love greenkids - didn't used to but we are going through a stage where they fit both kids so I am loving them. They are also surprisingly trim.

We also like Magicalls - they were always my favourite but greenkids have taken that mantle now.

Itti Bittis don't wrk for us - my DS is a heavy wetter so he wets through them in an hour.

ittis snap in are Ai2

they are ok for us, i hated them when DD was just on BM as the poo would run out the sides :hissy: but on solids its ok i get the occasional wee leaks. probably not the best fit for DD.

ANother Green Kids fan here but am especially loving the BabyBeehinds Multifits atm they are lush & the inserts hold heaps !

I also have some Baby Safari's which are great but probably more like a Magicall in that they have a microfibre hidden layer so dont necessarily need another insert but we do iykwim ! Magicalls are great too though !

Ittis are my enemy LOL they are a great nappy it seems if you dont have a heavy wetter but otherwise like justmum my DS2 wets through in 1-2hrs !

Oh & Blueberries were fine when we used them on DS2 when he was littler.
