Shaped nappies are essentially the inside bit of a two-part nappy system. They are made of terry, fleece or a combination of the two and fasten with velcro/aplix or poppers. They require a separate waterproof wrap to keep the wet in.
Two part nappy systems such as those listed here are easier to boost than all in ones, and can therefore offer greater flexibility in terms of absorbency.
These are all 'sized' nappies which means you'll need to buy 2 or possibly 3 sizes to get frm newborn to potty trained. Although this is a more costly option than using 'birth to potty' nappies, the advantages include better fitting nappies and less bulk on newborn babies.

mother-ease - sandy's - cotton nappy
This is a lovely nappy, definitely one of our favourites! It's made from soft brushed cotton terry knit and fastens with poppers in the same configuration as the Airflow (Air-Rika) wrap allowing for the legs and waist to be adjusted independently. This makes it a great nappy for babies with a skinny waist and chubby thighs or vice versa. The waist and legs are softly elasticated making it very leak-proof and it has slightly more padding than the Mother-ease One Size nappy making it more absorbent. Even so, the clever design makes it a relatively slim fitting nappy even with the extra absorbency.
The rikki wrap is lovely with this nappy.
Available in White or Unbleached fabric.
