This is made from soft fluffy terry toweling, the smallest
size has an integral fleece liner. The one in the picture uses a nappi nippa but
these are also availible with velcro. Available in White, unbleached and
new range of pastel colours.

Katie comments "I found these not as bulky as I thought
and stay nice and soft, took the longest of all my nappies to dry though."
Sarah comments: "A lovely nappy. I was able to use this right from birth on my son. The integral
fleece liner is very handy. I found using the nippa let you find the best fit.
There was no aplix to get tangled up in the wash. The leg and waist elastic were
exellent for containing newborn poo. I never once had a leak with them. It is
made from a lovely thick fluffy terry too."
Louise Comments:"I've been round the houses lots and have loads of
different types, I even sew my own, but I think the clear winner is Tots
Bots"
Comments: "From my v limited experience, compared to some cloth
nappy users, terries are really fast drying. Air-rika wraps are brilliant - they
let skin breathe and never leak (or haven't yet with 7 month old!).
I'm not the best at origami so I use TotsBots which are shaped terries with
elasticated legs and waist for the most snug and comfy fit - nothing could leak
out, even if it wanted to. They're also sooooo cute. Nappy nippas rather than
pins also mean you don't kebab your baby, which is definitely a bonus. You can
use nippas on terries anyway. I hate having to put a wrap on my son's totsbots
cos it's such a shame to hide them - I need to get out more..."
Sandys
A very high performing nappy, it has three inbuilt layers of soft
terry between the legs and is made from 85% cotton and 15% polyester for added
durability and softness. It has soft elastic all around the waist and legs to
ensure good containment. It fastens with multi-positioned poppers at the sides,
fastening separately for the waist and thigh allowing a good customized fit.
Made in Canada.

Ellas House
Made
from Hemp/ cotton fleece. Very very slim. Beautiful colours, fantastic selection almost to good to cover up! Good fit and
washed well, however I did find these needed boosting. (UK made)

Katie comments:"These
are my least favorite nappy!! I'm sure these a responsable for putting a lot of
people off cloth! These fit very nicely with velcro and come in nice patterns
and are fairly cheap, however are not nearly absorbent enough and come with the
most awful thick plastic wrap. If you are unlucky enough to already have some I
suppose they could be boosted but the wrap is just too awful to use, emergency
only!"
