Booroi

An Australian company that makes All-in-two nappies. With great cooton baby wipes in lovely wetbags. 

I liked: 

• I think that these are the nappies with the greatest fabric I have seen! On one side they have a layer of 100% Bambοo fleece (very soft and keeps all the moist away from your baby)and on the other side a layer of 92% Bamboo and 8% polyester. In the middle they have an extra layer that absorbs everyhting! On the small babies you can use them as a nappy:  

When they grow up, you fold them on three and just stuff it inside the waterproob cover:

•  Ι have washed them so many times but still, nothing happened to them!
• The covers are very comfortable and, although on sizes, you will use them for a long time.
• The covers are waterproof but they are very soft and they do not remind at all the word "plastic".
• Not many colours and designs for the covers but they arejust great!
• When you order baby wipes or nappies you get them in the very qute wetbags!

I did not like: 

• I am having some trouble with the side closure!
• That I can only buy six packs of the nappies instead of one at a time...

I would change: 

• I would like some covers with afront closure!
• I would like to be able to buy from the same company the special clips that are used on the nappies as a closure (instead of pins).

Cost: One nappy and one cover costs 16,8 euro and you need only 5,32 euros more for the shipping cost (from Australia!!!)   

Hamac

A French company with very special diapers, technologically! I have already talked about them in a previous post.

I liked: -The colours (especially of the Limited edition which is full of 

             French style!) 

           -The design. Fashion...(that is why you can find articlea about them in

             Elle and Madame Figaro)

           -Τhat it is so thin! 

           -You can use a disposable soaker...

           -Τhe reusable soaker is from cotton-hemp and is very thin and 

            very absorbent.

           -Τhe cover dryes...right away!! 

           -All fabrics are according to the Oeko Tex Class 1 standard.

                   

I did not like: - The polyurethane membrane on the cover is tightening with an 

                       elastic thread that is leaving marks on the thighs 
                      and bottom... Just like wearing tight socks.

                     -The cover is a little narrow!
                     -It did not succeed at night with my toddler.

                       

  

I would change: - It bothers me that a "plastic" polyurethane is 

                          touching my baby... I would rather have something 

                          more "cotton-like"

                         -I would use bigger velcro pieces at the closure.

Cost: 32-34 euros. Every box has a wrap, 1 reusable soaker, 2 disposables soakers and 1 liner! You might think that the price is high but you will need so much fewer covers that the cost is reduced significantly...

(Remarks from Hamac:

- our products are certified Okëo Tex Class 1 which is the highest level of certification for the fabrics.- the Hamac is comparable with Gore-Tex, which means this is leakproof and breathable,and our Hamac® is much more breathable than other materia.)

Baba + Boo

One more mother starting a nappy-producing company! I think this is the cheapest pocket nappy in the market! It has a PUL cover and comes with two microfiber inserts.

                

I liked: - Their price....

           - Their snaps close very easily and they fit very well around legs of 

              many different sizes. I have not seen any leaking yet!

           - You get it with two inserts that absorb many "stuff" and have

             snaps to make them smaller, when neccesary.

           - That you can get "limited edition" paterns! The collection changes
              constantly!

           - The great service from Eve!

                                       

I did not like: - That after a while I have seen some colours fading!

                    - I found in some nappies, when I opened the package, 

                      many threads and other, very small, left-over cloths.

                    -Ι saw the same paterns in many small nappy companies, 
                     in fabric selling e-shops etc.                         

I would change:  I would put in the package, one microfiber and one bamboo insert!

Cost: 9,98 euros from the company's site. Calculate the shipping cost, which is very low. (The shipping cost from UK is generally very low!)

ImseVimse

A Swedish company with many social and environmental sensitivities. The diapers are produced in the European Union.

All-in-one 

This is an All-in-one diaper with PUL on the outside. On the inside you will find a soft cotton layer but also two boosters sewed on the diaper only at their edges. One of them is 100% organic cotton (exactly like my favourite extra boosters that fit everywhere and are superabsorbend) and the other has the same cotton on the one layer and polyester on the other.

On the photo you can understand exactly how the diaper is!

                

I liked: - The great boosters from 100% organic cotton. 

           - That it dries considerably quickly (for a cotton diaper) since you 

              open it completely when hanging.             

           - The special way it fits on the thighs that keeps everything inside.

                  

I did not like: -That they do not have a one-size edition. Be careful at 

                     the sizing because they come a little bit bigger than expected. 

                   - You cannot fix the velcro tighter on the waist! So the diaper is very wide 

                     This is why I sewed an extra velcro on the waist, at the front of the diaper.

I would change: The designs of the fabrics. There are only few and they are a little bit boring! 

Cost: 19,95 euros, from Greece or from abroad.

Wonderoo

A Βritish company that makes the nappies in Turkey.

The Wonderoo V2 

It is a pocket nappy with PUL on the outside, although with not at all a plastic texture either on the minky fabric, nor on the smooth one. Inside you will find two inserts, one made from bamboo that folds in three parts and one from terry. This way you can use anything you like, according to your own baby.  

                

I liked:- The bamboo insert because it is very absorbing and dries

            respectivelly quickly, since you unfold it

           -The very soft PUL

           -It has a single row of snaps and they adjust very well 

            on the baby

           -You can buy bids from the same fabric and colour!

               

I did not like: Around the legs, if you do not take care, sometimes the fabric turns inside-out, leaking a little bit.

I would change: The sewing at the edge of the inserts, because after some washing cycles the thread gets loose and then it goes off.

Cost: 18,80 euros, from Greek e-shops, with a better price when buying a large quantity

Autumnz

A diaper from Malaysia, where many companies produce cloth diapers.

Autumnz - PUL Cloth Diaper 

It is a pocket one size diaper with PUL outside and soft microfleece inside.  

                

I liked:- That the "pocket" has a closure going on the inside:

 

            

- That it has only one row of snaps and it is very easy to adjust them.

                                            -The best fabric ever! So soft even after so many washes!

I did not like: -Everytime I put the booster inside the "pocket" they stick 

                      on the PUL. All the outside wrap seems to be a little more 

                      "plastic than what I would prefer!

                     - It says to wash at 30o C. I contacted Sue form Autumnz

                      and she said that this is not correct and they are going to 

                      change it. (Anyway, I wash them at 40-60o C and nothing 

                      happened...yet)

I would change: The distance between Greece and Malaysia, so that it will be a more approachable market...

Cost: 10 euros, but we need a retailer in Europe to know exactly the shipping cost.

Bumgenius organic

This is the first organic diaper I write about! I have to say that "organic" gives it extra points...

bumGenius Organic One-Size All-In-One

It is an All-in-one diaper and the company that makes them (cotton babies) is located in USA with a factory in Egypt too.The same company produces Econobum, Flip and FuzziBunz. There is also a non-organic diaper, but I will talk about it next time.

I liked:- That it is full of organic cotton! 

          - I have to admit that it fits very well!

          - I love the way it is sewed around the thighs! it is made in a way 

            that it does not leave the soaker to come out and leak! 

          - When my daughter is wearing them, her daddy does not say that 

            she has a "Brazilian" bottom! I mean that it does not have a big

            volume!

                

I did not like: That the soakers are sewed... This means plenty of time to dry and you cannot use the extra soakers you might have! But there is a solution: remove the seam from the one side (check out how here). (Many thanks again to Chrysa from the forum of parents.gr)

I would change: Remove the stitches that attach the soakers on the wrap, of'course! Maybe also low their price a little bit....

Cost:22 euros, from Greek e-shops

Rumparooz

It is time for my first review. I hope that you will find convenient the way I will do it. So:

Rump•a•rooz® One Size Reusable Diaper 

A pocket diaper from Australia. Outside it has TPU instead of PUL that most diapers have. The company says that "When composted they will biodegrade in 4-5 years"

I liked:The poo fence!!! Unique! 

          The great sence of the microfiber inside

          That it has three rows of snaps, to control better the size

          All the boosters dry quickly and have a very smart design

I did not like:The double raw of snaps to fix at the waist. You cannot fix very well on a different position the upper and lower row, so you cannot have the best adjustment to the waist and tights. Well, you can do it, but I think that the distances of the snaps might need a small change, to make it easier.

I would change: I have no idea! There are so much I liked about this diaper. Maybe I would add new designs on the patterns!

Cost: 17,1 euro the plain colours and 18,24 pounds the patterned
