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...
tiny tush - elite one-size pocket - popper fastening
This is a very adjustable birth-to-potty pocket nappy.
It fastens with poppers at the waist and has 3 rows of poppers through the rise to allow the nappy to be shortened to fit from birth upwards. This also makes it one of the most adjustable BTP nappies around!
It has a neat pocket opening, situated about an inch down from the top of the nappy at the back, and the opening is an 'envelope' style so the insert/stuffing stays neatly inside.
The inner is soft micro-fleece so acts as a stay dry barrier.
This nappy is supplied 'empty' so inserts must be purchased separately. It can be stuffed with anything absorbent, from microfibre to hemp. We've had great success in our trials with a pad folded terry square...
Available in a range of colours from pastel to bright, so there's something for everyone!
This is a fairly generously sized nappy and should fit most toddlers through to potty training.
