Pocket style nappies are a kind of halfway house between all-in-ones and shaped nappies. A waterproof, lined wrap style nappy that has an integral pocket which is then stuffed with absorbent material to the level required.
Great for those that don't have a tumble drier as the stuffing is removed for washing so you effectively have a flat nappy and a wrap to dry separately.
Stuffing
You can use anything absorbent to stuff a pocket nappy, it's about getting the balance between absorbency and bulk right for your circumstances. Here are some options:
Terry square - pad folded (very absorbent but bulky)
Prefold (absorbent, fairly bulky)
Shaped terry pocket nappy insert (medium absorbency, medium bulk)
Hemp pocket nappy insert (absorbent, slim)
Microfibre cloths (medium absorbency, very slim)
Many people find that a combination of these things work well in different circumstances, for example, terry squares with a microfibre cloth for night time and hemp for day time...
This fabulous birth-to-potty Stuffable is the latest new product from Nature Babies.
Taking on board all of the best features of the existing sized Stuffables (leg gussets, super soft binding, great prints, adjustable rise) and coming up with a great new fit and design has resulted in a really adaptable, reliable nappy that works right through the weight range from 8lb to potty training.
For a birth to potty nappy this is pretty generously sized at the top end of the weight range with clever tabs and a nice deep rise and we've no doubt that this will fit the average sized toddler through to potty training...
At the other end of the scale, on a skinny legged new-born this might be a little big all over and especially around the legs but by 10lb it should be a great fit!
In addition to a great pocket nappy you also get two microfibre inserts for total versatility and enough absorbency to last even a heavy wetter 3 hours+ in most cases. Please do remember that fit is as important as stuffing...
Available in a great range of colours and prints - perfect for summer-time showing off and so quick and easy to use they make great nappies for childminders and nurseries etc.
