Note: Velcro-only fastening, no poppers

NEWBORN
I chose this nappy as the first product to trial, because of its softness inside and out, and it was a smaller fit suitable for a newborn. On first use, there was some leakage out of the top of the nappy (when used without the snap-in liner). At the next use, we will include the liner to see if that prevents leakage.

NEWBORN
I initially didn't choose this for a newborn, as the sizing seemed too large - but my husband picked it up (we have used a lot of AOIs to start our trial) and made it fit.
The inserts are sewn in, which makes the whole unit somewhat cumbersome, a removable system would be preferrable for flexibility in using the product (day/night) and sizing.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
A favourite of my husband, who loves the vibrant colours and 'mink' texture.
The website lists a number of versions/ configurations of the product which are very difficult to understand. In the end, I got the Snap In One with microfibre insert, as the hemp was not available .... I think!

NEWBORN
Used with a single insert, after we've learned by trial-and-error that a single insert (for nappies that have them in the design) improves the fit on a newborn (apart from being more absorbent).
After use the poly lining was pristine, but the insert needed extra cleaning.

Note: Also can be described as "all in two" due to the snap-in liners.

NEWBORN
Chosen because of its small size, which fitted our newborn well. It was used without the snap-in booster first time. Although it did the job fine, I would use it with a single snap-in liner next time for improved contact against baby's skin and absorbency. The lining is soft and wicks moisture away from baby. Easy to use product.

NEWBORN
Good product for newborns (see also Bum-Ware AIO) and performed well. This version of the product doesn't have a pocket, snap-in liner or other boosters (hence the quick-dry) so is  limited in terms of how much is can soak up.
