I have a few of these. Not worth the money. I bought them before bubs was born, because they were cheap. Turns out they're cheap and NASTY. Not worth it. And now I'm a cloth user, I realise how silly the idea is - if you want cloth, buy cloth! If you don't, then don't!

If it's a disposable, it's overpriced. If it's a cloth (which it appears to be) it is too cheap.

It says that the packaging and paper are biodegradable and the lining of the nappy is cloth.

So.....it's just a cheap cloth nappy that you throw out after a few washes because it's so poorly made.:laughing:

But the packaging is disposable :thumbsup:

They look pretty cr@ppy imo. They are unbelieveably thin and look like they'd hold nothing in.
Manufactured in Indonesia - what are their fair trade practises like and is it ethical.

If a disposable user was to use that I'm certain they would be totally put off the thought of using cloth.

oh also, they DO require a cover. And after washing, they get all bunched up and horrible. I used them in the early weeks for DS, when I didn't know any better ;)

isnt "washable disposable" an oxymoron :confused:

if you want something thats reusable why not just go with cloth :confused:

You could get really funky covers that would last for ages (Tots Bots or Starbunz).

These nappies are absolutely awful. Not worth the fifty cents I paid for them to check them out. They are a very very thin, cheap flanny - one layer - and a thin, small pad of synthetic wadding.

And the colours run very, very badly. The whole nappy ends up a vile bile green after several washes - as does the rest of your laundry, if you happened to put them in together.

Why on earth would anyone want a washable disposable?? Pick one or the other.

It's not actually the way they were marketed. I suspect this particular seller has put that in the description just because they've not idea what a "fitted" or "AIO" means. Their only point of reference for a shaped, self-fastening nappy is disposables. Sad huh?
