Motherease Onesize nappies have become a firm favourite and are reliable stand-by in many a nappy system. It’s hard to go wrong with Motherease and you will see there are many ‘pros’ and not a lot of ‘cons’. Motherease Onesize keeps its looks well and that makes it an excellent choice for use with more than one child or where you intend to sell them on – the nappies that is, not the children!
Motherease One Size (MEOS) fits from birth to toddler.
Please note that the MEOS has a pop-in pad that is sold separately. The pad can be used all the time when the baby is older and the nappy is no longer shortened. This pad is not a night booster but is really an integral part of the nappy.
Advantages:
- Relatively fast drying for a shaped nappy
- Fantastic poo containment, especially of explosive breastfed poo
- Very durable elastic and fastenings do not wear out - usually good for two children at least
- Short pile terry is good for hard water areas, and for drying over radiators, as it does not go as "crunchy" as more traditional looped terry
- Flexible usage - can be used without the pop-in pad for less bulk, or with the stay dry pop in pad instead of the matching normal white/unbleached one.
- Very highly sought after on the second hand cloth nappy market, so holds its resale value well
- Choice of white, unbleached or organic cotton
- Stay Dry version also available (unbleached only) which has a polyester lining to enable wetness to be wicked away, keeping your baby’s skin dry. Very good for those little ones with a more sensitive skin or eczema.
Downsides:
- Not the most immediately intuitive nappy whilst on the newborn setting, therefore not recommended for children going to nursery around 3 months
- Between 9 and 12 months might be a tight fit when children are at their maximum baby chubbiness, before they become more mobile and slim down dramatically. (It is possible to buy cheap extenders to manage during this period)..
- A very tall child might find these nappies sit quite low on the hips towards toilet training and ‘builder’s bum’ may develop. If this happens you may need a few nappies that have a more generous fit.
Other Comments:
This nappy is an excellent all-rounder although not recommended for the taller chubby child.
When washing the `One Size Stay Dry` it is recommended that you only wash 5-8 nappies at any one time to prevent pilling of the fabric. However, this will not affect the performance of the nappy so it is usually best to accept that pilling might occur and wash the usual quantity of 12 nappies every other day.
