"Not at all bad" isn't much of an endorsement for the Mother-ease one-size, but it does have many good features. The best feature is its stretchiness, which makes it easy to fit. It's quite soft and despite being a bit bulkier because it's a one-size, still fitted easily beneath the Rikki cover.
Mother-ease products are not presented as nicely as other brands (colour, style), such as BabyBeehinds, but their products are solid to use so I'm not surprised they've been in business since 1991. I can imagine there are many satisfied customers who swear by Mother-ease.
After 8 months of using re-usable nappies, I've found that the 2-layer system (nappy plus waterproof cover) is not for me. However, of the ones I've tried, the Sandy's nappy was the best.
Although it's bamboo, therefore very absorbent and slow to dry, it's nice and stretchy which makes it easy to fit. It's also a sized product, so more slimline and not as bulky as the one-size cloth nappies. So, if you can make it work economically, this nappy would work well with any cover (I preferred the BabyBeeHinds PUL wrap with it).

NEWBORN
Chosen due to to its smaller size, which fitted easily onto our newborn. The nappy was soft and absorbent. We didn't use it with a Mother-ease cover as the other Mother-ease products are sized small, but were far too big (long in the torso) to use. We used the Loveybum's wool cover instead, which fitted over OK.
After washing, the nappy still had some stains, so we will review the care instructions and try again.

NEWBORN
Definitely one of the most attractive nappies in terms of being soft and easy to distinguish with the rainbow trim. It's quite large and bulky for a newborn. After fiddling with the poppers, husband got it to fit OK but is very bulky even when used with just a single liner. We have been removing liners from the AOIs/ pockets and have found it better when they're included - the reverse could be true with a two-layer system where, since the nappy is fully absorbent, an additional liner is not needed. Tried with the BB wool cover.

NEWBORN
The smallest sized product I've bought, which unsurprisingly is a great fit on our newborn. Tried with the snap-in liner and with the Loveybums wool crepe cover.
