I have never used MCN before so this is my first experience with any type.
When I first got my package containing these MCN I happily ripped open then package and seen the wonderful colours I had gotten (Pink and Purple) they were just really pretty and I couldn't wait to put them on my daughter right away.
The instrustions said that I must first wash and dry the MCN three times before I could use them on her, so I shoved them in the washing machine as per instructions and then got them out and put them on the line.
The inserts took SO long to dry, literally it was about two days. once they were dry I washed them again and this time put them in the dryer, for two and a half hours....got them out and they STILL wern't dry.
Assembling the nappy itself was all in all really simple by following the leaflet. and they looked VERY VERY CUTE when they were on her!! little bit bulky I think and not sure how she would go if she could actually walk but she can't so it wasn't an issue.
Now my daughter likes to pee, a lot, so when she wears a nappy it normally comes off very very full. this was no exception but it seemed to hold all the pee really well and I didn't have any issues with leakage.
Nighttime was, sadly, a different story. Daughter sleeps from 6pm to 5am so I guess its a rather big ask of a nappy to contain that much pee for that long but this nappy did not hold up at all! I went in the morning to get her and everything was wet. I had to wash the nappy, the sheets, the pj's and the baby.
Overall, these were very cute and fashionable nappies and great for daytime use, great fit and simple to use - even for someone who has never used MCN before.
