"Pretty foolproof and would surely appeal to most people"
Ease of Use
Very easy to use pocket nappy. Just stuff in the insert, popper and go! No additional wrap needed. I found it makes most sense to stuff the nappy once the pieces are dry so then you don’t have any delays when it comes to nappy change. It takes a minimal amount of effort to make sure that the insert is lying smoothly inside the pocket.
Comfort
Very soft and comfortable all over. My son’s bottom stays dryer in this nappy than any other reusable. The nappy is fleece lined and the inserts are microfibre which seem very absorbent. The outer cover has a soft polyester feel. This nappy is made out of a lot of synthetic materials which may be a consideration for some users.
Fit
Easy to get a good fit around the waist. I found the leg holes a teeny bit gappy and they did wick slightly but not so much that clothes got damp. On a 4 month old this is a seriously bulky nappy – my mother said it looked like my son was wearing a cod piece! But it’s a soft, puffy bulkiness so not off-putting or uncomfy looking.
Absorbancy
Very good. This has been a first encounter with microfibre and I will happily use microfibre again. It is very absorbent and has the added bonus that it doesn’t feel soggy even after hours of wear.
Washing, Drying and Quality
Washes well. The nappy is very stain resistant and as the fabric is largely synthetic it has not faded or bobbled. It looks very good quality. I’d love it to be available in slightly less dayglow colours.
Value for Money
Fantastic – everything is included and you won’t even need to size up.

"Great birth to potty nappy"
I have used Wonderoos before, when they were made in America and was impressed with them then, although my daughter did outgrow them at around 12 months, which I was disappointed with.
However, this new design is great as, at 14 months, they now fit my daughter well. I haven't compared them to my old ones, but they do seem to be a bit bigger.
The change in the inner fleece is also good and I like the microterry inserts, although I prefer hemp inserts because of their slimmer fit.
This nappy dries incredibly quickly as you can pull it apart and dry the insert and outer part separately.
The fit is fantastic and, because of the fleece inner, the leg cuffs and waist band don't cut into baby at all.
I wouldn't use it as a night-time nappy, though, as it isn't as absorbent as a two-part system, but as a day-time nappy it is a firm favourite of mine.
The quality also means that it can be handed down to subsequent children, making it even better value for money.
Definitely a brilliant nappy.

"MY FAVOURITE!"
This is a birth to potty pocket nappy suitable from newborns to potty training. I already had 5 of these so was chuffed to receive another to test in a bright new colour! I really rate them! Comes in some great fun colours to brighten up anyone’s day.
It comes with 2 micro fibre inserts, a small and large which can be snapped together to make one thick one. We always use the large insert by itself with the nappy on the medium setting, otherwise the nappy is just too bulky for my 5 month old. We would probably use both boosters when the nappy was on the largest setting for a toddler.
This would be a fairly bulky nappy for a newborn as it is quite wide between the legs. However, I like the fact that you can adjust the absorbency by adding or removing the inserts to suit. We have never had an issue with lack of absorbancy with this nappy and have only had the occasional leak from runny breastfed poo. As I said the nappy is quite wide between the legs so does tend to “catch” it all.
It may take a while to get used to the poppers to make sure the nappy fits comfortably. This might also be a problem for anyone babysitting who has to nappy change and may find the popper fastening fiddly.
The Wonderoo washed well and the colour did not fade and being a pocket nappy was super fast drying as the nappy and insert dry separately. This would be a good nappy for anyone without a tumble dryer.
A favourite of mine! I want one in every colour!

"Brilliant nappy!!"
This nappy kept my baby really dry. The double micro-fleece inserts make for a very absorbent nappy. It washes and dries really well. I love the fact that no wrap is needed so you can really show off the lovely colours of the nappy :o)
The fit was great and I think it's really great value for money. A firm favourite! Oh, and super quick to dry.

"Wonderful Wonderoo"
The sample I received was bright orange and first impression were great. There were loads of poppers on the outside so that the fit can be adjusted to fit your little one perfectly.
After 2 pre-washes, the nappy and inserts were dry in a couple of hours on the line on a warm and breezy day. We were ready to go. Bath time came and we decided to get Daniel strapped into this nappy. I received 2 inserts which popper together and another thin insert. I stuffed the inserts into the pocket making sure there was a double layer at the front for additional absorbancy and wrapped him up in it. He seemed to be very happy in it feeling the fabric and rolling around on the bed. Quite bulky but that's mostly because I used all the inserts I was provided.
On checking 4 hours later, Daniel was as dry as a bone, so I decided to really put it to the test and let him go all night.
Morning came and no leaks or dampness outside of the nappy at all. His skin felt more tacky than it does when he wears a disposable but that was only to be expected. Dry pailed the nappy with a few drops of tea tree oil until wash day.
I will definitely use this one again - a nice pocket nappy that to be honest really leaves Mums with no excuses not to make the switch to cloth.
