The nappy experiment continues... we are now down to three contenders:

1. Totsbots fluffle - microterry nappy, this one is the bulkiest, but dries quickest and has performed well against poo and wee. No poo leakage, but as with the others, some wee leakage if left on too long and it gets too saturated.
2. Totsbots organic bamboozle - this is a nappy made from bamboo fibre and has the best absorbancy and is not so bulky, but that means that it takes longest to dry. It has performed well against poo and wee. It is a good fit and feels nice, the drying time is the only downside. Both the totsbots are for 10-18lb babies (would need to get a bigger size at some time before she gets to using a potty.
3. Motherease Sandys - these are cotton and have the best, slimest fit, the drying time sits between the other two and the absorbancy is fine and performance against leaks is good. This nappy will only last until she is 14lbs though, and as it has poppers has less flexibility on the adjustment.

I think the bamboo totsbots are going to be favourite, as the drying time can be helped by buying a few more nappies in the set, and my first concern is for how comfortable the nappy is for Fidget, ie not too bulky and good absorbancy so she is not sat in a wet nappy.

We have a few more days to try out the nappies and make our mind up, so watch this space to find out the winner.
