Fitted nappies  Nappies Systems>>  

Fitted nappies are ready shaped to fit, so no folding is required. Some fitted nappies have Velcro or Aplix (hook & loop) fasteners, some close with poppers and some are help in place with a nappy grip. All fitted nappies need a waterproof wrap over the top. They are popular with the folding intolerant amongst us, child carers and grandparents!

Fitted nappies come in a huge range of styles: some fit all the way from birth to potty, others come in different sizes. You can get hemp, organic cotton, microfibre, bamboo, and fleece or terry versions in an enormous range of different designs for the more style conscious babies, or should that be parents! For more information to help you choose between the different brands, call the WWT Nappy Advisor on 01380 725670 ext 236

One size nappies

One size nappies fit from birth to potty training, or at least from 9lbs to 35lbs, which more or less covers it. Some need extra boosting to increase absorbency for older babies, nights and naps. Some nappies come with snap in boosters, some have a ‘pocket’ in them so you can stuff almost anything absorbent in to boost the nappy.

* The most economical fitted nappy as you only need one size.
* Easy to use because of the fitted style.
* Useful if you have more than one in nappies, because you can use the same nappies.

X Some can be a bit bulky on smaller babies.
X If they don't need extra layers to boost absorbency later on, they can be slow to dry.

Two + size nappies

These are nappies that come in two or more sizes to fit from birth to potty training. As with One Size nappies, there is a wide range to choose from, in many different styles & designs. Sized nappies will fit non-standard sized babies better, but work out more expensive than flat or one size nappies. Beware of packs selling different sizes of nappy together for a small discount; they can work out to be a false economy if the style that suits your baby as a newborn doesn't suit them as a toddler.
