Bamboo

I absolutely love my nappies!!!  My daughter has been using these nappies full time since approximately 2 weeks old!  I love these nappies as the whole nappy is absorbent, so when it is teamed up with a Baby Beehinds PUL cover, I have absolutely no leakage problems!  I chose to use a bamboo nappy as they are very breathable and as a result, bub rarely gets any nappy rash. 

I purchased 26 nappies and only have to wash every second day.  As the whole nappy is absorbent, they do take a while to dry, but as I live in Qld, I don't really have any problems.

These nappies are also one size fits all, and have adjustable clips so that young bubs up to toddlers can use these nappies.   

The nappies are quite expensive, but if you buy in bulk like I did, there are bulk discounts available!!  In the end though, compared to how much would be spend on disposeable nappies, they are definitely cheaper! 

These BBH Bamboo fitted are my workhorse nappies, both boosters being used, teamed with a PUL or Wool cover and we get a perfect night time nappy.

Due to the fact the whole nappy is absorbant, I do always use a microfleece liner, in order to keep baby feeling dry.

Smell issues come into it if there is a build up of detergent. Using too much or not doing the rinse will add to this. Once I worked that out and changed my washing patterns slightly, there wasn't a problem.

A very easy nappy to use even by visiting family, granparents etc can still work out how to put it on baby. It does help that I have them all snapped and ready to go within arms reach of the change station.

OSFM nappys are not generally recommended for babies under about 3-4 months, so that's where some other reviewers had issues trying to fit them on a newborn.

Can be a bit bulky with extra boosting, but when you factor in why and the benefits of such, it's no big deal.

overall, a perfect nappy for my baby

I absolutely LOVED these nappies for night time use with an extra bamboo tri-fold added.

They were bulky if boosted, which was fine for overnight use. I teamed them with a lanolised wool soaker and they were ace! 

They did take a little longer to dry being bamboo but the extra absorbency it offered, it was a good trade off.

I did find these too bulky on a newborn despite the OSFM claims, but again, my newborn was pretty skinny, but generally they were a good fit, even on chicken legs!

They lasted well over three children and were still going strong, I lost the love of fitteds though so passed them on to a friend, as far as I know, they're still around and kicking.  

For a small baby these are way to bulky and I did not like that you need to use a cover - it just adds to the bulk. 

The bamboo takes a long time to dry.

This nappy has a great fit and is really absorbent

The material is so soft and I imagine that it would be very comfortable to wear. 

I mainly use this nappy for home and night time as it is a little bulky and hard to fit under most pants 

I love that it is also an Australian product

These nappies are fantastic, they are great value for money as they fit from birth until toilet training, and they are made very well.

They are quite bulky on a smaller baby, but as the child gets bigger they appear to be more in proportion with the body - although it's quite clever how the front of the nappy folds down for a newborn (this is usually shown during a nappy demonstration, otherwise you can youtube it :-D). They are incredibly absorbent, and it is easy to 'boost' the nappy up by adding more boosters to the inside of the nappy, if need be. The bamboo fitteds can even be used overnight with enough boosting.

They are a bit more fiddly to use than an AOI, but the snaps are easy to get the hang of after the first few times and consequently they become quite easy to use. It takes a little bit longer to put a bamboo on as opposed to a magic-all due to the cover requirement, but it's nothing to sweat over.

They do take a while to dry  - I can usually expect to use one again on day two after washing.

All in all, bamboos are a great nappy and we haven't had any issues with them. We have never experienced a leak and all poop has stayed inside the nappy.

I have been using these for my bub only for the past few weeks. Tried them on him when he came home from hospital but they were just too bulky. As he has gotten bigger they fit better too.

As everyone else says they are very absorbent and they do take forever to dry - in these 40 degree low humidity days they stay on the line all day and still need some more drying time inside. So you will get by on 2 days worth if you are washing them every day first thing. Not sure how people without a dryer would get on when it rains though.

Pretty easy to deal with - I use a nappy liner to contain poo, and just rinse the nappy in water before putting in a lidded bucket.

I haven't had any leaks from the PUL liners, although the woollen liner leaked a little bit. Not sure if I perhaps did not lanolise them properly. Bub did not seem to like the woollen liner (his skin went a it red) but that could be from the wool or from the heat that night.

We have used these nappies all the time since the day we got home from the hospital. We love them! They are easy to use, easy to clean, good for day, night, even going out. No leaks! Expensive to buy at first, but you save so much in the long run. 

Only used them 2 months so not sure yet how they will hold up. We got some hemp ones, but they went quite crunchy, bamboo still nice and soft. Nothing bad to say about these nappies! 

This nappy is great over night.  I've had no leaks at all!  They are a bit complicated to put on, but I've become some what of an expert now and can do it quickly. I would use them during the day if they weren't so bluky or took so long to dry.  Despite this I happily recommend them as a good nappy to use.

I'm not a fan of fitted and covers for day use as it is too much effort fighting with my daughter to get and AIO on her, let alone a nappy and cover! However when it comes to night nappies that aren't going to be changed for up to 12 hours there is nothing better than a fitted and cover!

These nappies are super absorbent and can easily deal with my big wetter. I use the nappy with both inserts it comes with (the small snapped at the front and the longer one snapped at the back and folded in half) and a trifold between the nappy and cover so the nappy itself isn't too bulky on my little girl and it holds up to a long night of wee! The moisture wicks through the whole nappy so it is evenly wet, not soaking at the front or back and the rest almost dry. This helps the nappy last longer because your baby won't have a soggy nappy pressed against their skin. Though I do recommend a fleece liner if your baby is a big wetter like mine because once the nappy is wet it will stay wet for a long time!

These are slow to dry after washing, but anything with this much bamboo is going to dry slowly. The advantage of being able to remove any boosters speeds up the drying time greatly!

I like this nappy for night time *only* but I have a few issues with it

1 - The smell in the morning!! OMG! Horrible!

2 - DP still can't

3 - They take forever to dry

BUT it does hold a LOT of weeeee! :)

i love this nappy! so easy to use with heaps of snaps to make different sizes - lots of elastic to ensure there's no leaks.

I can use it for 10-12 hrs overnight and he's only a little wet by the morning, and that's without the extra boosters.

drying time was a bit of an issue during winter; we had to use the dryer and because of all the folds around the elastic, it took a long time. but if there's any sun, even if it's not that hot they'll dry in less than a day on the line.

I do like these nappies, the funky colours are brilliant and they are great for nighttime use but I do have a couple of complaints.

#1 they are a one size nappy but Isobella outgrew them for a good 6 months and really wasnt that chubby.. 10kg at 1 yr when she outgrew them.

#2 drying takes FOREVER

other than this they are great.. but those two things put me off them a lot.

the most absorbent nappy you can imagine, especially if you use both boosters + a wool cover = nothing gets through!

good w poosplosions if you have a good cover; slows down the leak.

quite chunky, due to the absorbability - many layers of bamboo all around, even at the sides; so i don't use this during the day, but it goes for 12-14 hours at night on my 7mo with one long booster.

we wash on med, and line dry - no elastic issues yet, still going strong after 4months.

OSFA

I like this nappy and use it mainly at night. I like the absorbency and that it stays soft even after lots of washing. I find though that it is to short in the rise (maybe it has shortened with all the washing?) and sits only just about DD bumcrack!

Price - $25 each for the nappy and $9 each for the bamboo fold-ups

Materials - Fitted nappy made of 70% bamboo and 30% organic cotton with snap closure.

Fit - Supposedly OSFA. These nappies fit my DD exceptionally well. She has very chubby thighs and a chubby belly. So i've found the elastic in the legs of these nappies has enough stretch to fit around my DD's legs without leaving harsh red marks, so hopefully, she'll be in these nappies a very long time. The elastic at the back is also fantastic as it allows for a much better fit around my DD's waist, so I can get the seemingly perfect fit for her. Although I will say, my DD is a big bub at 8.5months and pushing 10kgs I do have the waist done up pretty small so she has lots of room to grow. Not quite sure how these would fit on a skinny bub as I have to be careful that I do the nappy up right so I don't have gaping around the legs despite DD having very chubby thighs.

Absorbency - I have had no problems at all so far. These nappies are simply fantastic and soaking everything up! During the day, I just use the short and long inserts in the nappy topped with a fleece liner for the stay-dry effect. And DD is always completely dry to touch while the outside of the nappy is barely damp! Of course me being me, had to test the limits of the nappy on my DD, and even after a 6hour stint during the day in the one nappy (note - I usually change her nappy at least every 3hours!) no leaks! I was amazed. The only leak we have had in this nappy so far is overnight when I added no extra boosting to see how it held up so I knew if I needed extra or not. So after a 12hour stint over night, we had a leak. So for night time use, I now add a bamboo fold-up in the nappy aswell, I have this folded so it makes an extra 8 layers, in total I have 20 layers of bamboo and although it is exessive and I don't need that much, I would much rather not having the nappy soaking wet, for DD's comfort. Both during the day and overnight I just team these nappies with a handknitted wool soaker which works wonders, unless i'm going out and DD will be sitting for a long time in which case I use a Bummis Super Whisper Wrap.

Wash/Dry - The nappies have stayed incredibly soft even after a few washes and being line dried. No stiffness like with hemp after it's been in the sun. Although it is true that these nappies take a while to dry, I have not found an issue with having to wait. It took 2 hours in the drier (threw them in with other loads) plus overnight on the clothes airer inside to dry after their initial washes, however the last few days it has actually been nice weather and I have found they only take a full day to dry outside on the line. It hasn't been hot (18 - 21deg) and one day was cloudy, yet they still dried in a day.

Conclusion - Extremely happy with these nappies! I would definitely purchase more if I were allowed! (11 isn't enough!) I love the fit on my DD, and I have no trouble doing the snaps up, although DH is slightly challenged in that department! I love the colours they come in, I love the customer service, Davina is fantastic to deal with, very lovely and will help you out with any questions. I love that they work great for during the day and overnight, they are definitely well worth trying them out in my opinion!

These didn't work very well for us as they are a one size. My bub is skinny and at 18mths they still don't fit right.

They still work as a nappy though and with a cover they stay in place. I think for chubbier bubs they would be fantastic. :)

Cute nappy, works well, just takes 5 times as long to dry than my other cloth nappies. Also a pain having to wash them 3 times before using particularly on level 5 water restrictions.

I found the design of this nappy to be well thought out. Rather than having to buy larger sizes as our baby grows (as is the case with other brands) we merely have to use the outer clips on the Baby BeeHind nappy. I had purchased a second hand bamboo nappy via ebay that had been used by consecutive siblings. The fact it was in such good shape and had worn so well compelled me to buy all my nappy's through this company. I do recommend to always use the breathable PUL wraps over the nappy as a double safe guard against leakage. Our hefty 3 month old has already grown out of the small Pul wraps so I am pleased we had also ordered the Medium size with our initial order. Over all we are very happy with this product.

great nappy! we havent had 1 single leak since using the BBB... and they're so soft

These are our favourite night nappies - Never a leak! Teamed with a wool wrap, you won't be dissapointed.

Fantastic night time nappy, I have tried other nappies specifically for night use and found the BBB a better performer.

They do take a while to dry, and the fit is not great on my son (not enough elastic around the legs), but I have a few so I must like them.

I must have for any stash! Pair with a wool cover for night, a perfect combo!

About the best absorbency you can get. Lasts 12hrs overnight with an added foldup booster.

So far I've used this nappy from 10mths - 20mths old and it still fits beautifully and snug.

I find it to be quite trim, especially compared to a flat nappy, but it's not the trimmest nappy on the market.

Drying time is long due to the absorbency.

I find this nappy wonderfully soft and it must be lovely for my baby to wear.

I do find that with the inserts and a cover it is very bulky to the extent where pants dont fit over the top of them.

Absorbency was fairly good and haven't experienced any leaking.

They do take a long time to dry.

they are so cute i have pick ones at home and they are so good at keeping dd dry and and feel so good.

I haven't had the best of luck with these nappies. They have good absrobency but I have to use a cover or the wings slip. My 18mth is slim so they don't fit too well.

Love this nappy, easy to use, very absorbant and very soft.

These are my favourite nappies. They're so absorbant that during the daytime I don't use a cover on them. They're also the perfect night time nappy. Great value!!
