Easyfit STAR Nappy

Rating:

Have got several easyfit stars in our stash now and love them. The patterns are fun, they fit nicely and don't look too bulky. They take a while to dry but that's the trade off for the absorbancy of bamboo. They easily last 3-4 hours when boosted with a little lamb triple bamboo.

Tots Bots Easy Fit Stars were the first reusables I tried when my son turned one and I began my convert to cloth.

I kept trying and trying to like them and to tell myself with more washes the absorbency would improve and I just needed more practice putting them on to avoid leaks - but as I built my stash up with other brands too, I realised we just weren't going to get along with the Easy Fit Stars.

The only pro for me is the lovely prints and the fact that they're not quite as expensive as some other brands. In terms of negatives - they're very prone to staining - far more so than any other brand I've used (about 5 or 6 others), the inner material isn't at all water tight so you get leg leaks and they take an age to dry, oh and they're bulky!

In short, even eBay cheapies outperform these, so I would personally avoid!

Bought one in order to try before I bought a load. Fits my baby well. No leaks and feel good quality. I've now bought a load so that grand parents can use when needed. They find poppers difficult. Very pleased

An easy to use all in one nappy but bulky on our little girl so not our favourite despite the fact it is cheaper than most

I bought one of these to try alongside my bumgenius elemental joys. The Velcro is a bit easier to manage on my 10 month old who won’t lie still but overall I find it doesn’t perform quite as well. I’ve had a few leg leaks and the nappy generally feels much wetter when I take it off than the joys. He is a heavy wetter though. It also takes at least 24-36 hours to dry. Love the prints and overall a nice nappy to have in my stash but I’m glad I’ve got quicker drying ones too.

These were the first nappies I tried and had I purchased a large bundle of these, I would have been disappointed and possibly given up altogether. As it was I only got two (direct from totsbots).
I want to like them more than i do, but sadly they are now relegated to the emergency back up stash. (along with the peenut wraps).
I love their prints and colours, they look very fun and cute.
They are quick and easy to use, partner/grandparents found them simpler than ones with lots of poppers.
Drying time is fairly good for me (as we have a dehumidifier as house is prone to damp).
However, the fit on either of my children is not good. My son was too small for these by 27lb (range is meant to up to 35lb) and at 23lb my daughter is on the longest setting with the waist almost crossed over. Both of mine are long in the body (but not chubby at all) and the rise is just not long enough for them. We therefore got a lot of leaks from the leg holes when the inside absorbent part is not even 1/3 saturated which means more frequent changing than should be required.
I switched to Bambino mio and because the fit is longer and bigger, I could get longer wear from those (even though is considered less absorbent) and no leaks just because the fit was better.
The snaps/poppers to adjust the rise are not as good quality as those on the motherease uno/duo. On both of mine, they became frustratingly problematic fairly quickly, either not engaging and closing or just popping open constantly.
As someone else mentioned, the inner lining fabric stains horribly and never fades. Also the absorbent section bobbles up and feels quite rough after a couple of washes.
The velcro, although strong does often come undone in the wash (despite folding back) and doesn't seem to be wearing as well as on the bambino mio,, it looks a little frayed and worn despite them having much less use.
Main issue though is one of them losing it's waterproofing after 2 months of light use and is now completely unusable as the whole front section on the outside of the nappy becomes wet as soon as the absorbent layer is slightly wet.
Overall, were the fit better, they would probably be better performing and would then add another star, but unfortunately for us they were not that good.

Love these nappies! No leaks since moving to these from disposables, and we love the patterns too easy to wash and dry, would never go back to using disposables!

I love these nappies. They are so simple to use with no stuffing or wrapping required so I really like them for the change bag or when someone else is helping out with the nappy change. I don't use them for night but for the day time they've been great, with no leaks, and that's on a 4 week old (8 1/2 lb currently). They seem really good quality too! The only downside is the slow drying but as I use them in combination with some faster drying pockets it's not been a problem. Great service from the nappy lady with super fast delivery.

We love the easyfit star. It’s the most simple to use nappy we have tried and even my husband can fit it well easily. It lasts well and is fairly hassle free. Average drying time.

These nappies are very easy to use however thr material inside stains easily with poo, even through the liner, we will keep using them but the yellowish tinge on the inside even after multiple 60 degree washes isnt ideal, we havent had this problem with the elemental joy or charlie bannas

Perfect nappies. They have good containments, are very soft and not so bulky and the designs are absolutely adorable. I would recommend to anyone wanting to use reuseables. And the folded to guess means they dry much more quickly as well.

I was looking for an all in one with velcro straps and could only find this one from Totsbots and BambinoMio. I chose this because it has higher ratings and apparently its velcros are known to be very resistant. I wasn't a fan of the tongue that needs to be stuffed in but we didn't experience leakages and this model convinced daddy to give cloth a try (he doesn't like the buttons type) so thumbs up! Would be great if they opted for a tongueless design taking inspiration from the mother ease wizard!

I absolutely love these nappies, I tried to be economical to begin with and looked at using terry towels or Little Lambs, but I didn't like the bulky look. I kept getting attracted to the gorgeous prints of tots bots and thought I would give one a go, but couldn't decide between the pee nut pad system or the easyfit star. I tried both and found them great, but for ease of use I went for the easyfits. These are slim on my 6 month olds bottom, but still nicely cushioned. The prints are fab and look so cute and gorgeous on. The absorbency is fantastic and we only need to use 4-5 of these nappies per day, getting away with nappy changes every 3-4 hours (I have been using disposables which need changing at least every 2 hours). I thought that drying time would be an issue because they do take a long time to dry (being bamboo, but bamboo also gives super absorbency), but as long as you have a big enough stash and are washing every other day then that isn't an issue (I have about 10 of these in rotation). A big tip for drying in the winter is to get a dehumidifier, we needed one for the damp in our house and we put these nappies nearby to dry overnight with the dehumidifier on and they were nearly dry by morning. We then finished them off on the line, radiators or on a cool tumble (takes about a day to line dry in sunshine only). They can be washed at 60 too! Also, I had reservations about using velcro, but I was wrong, they do not scratch my little one's skin and they are so like using a disposable in terms of ease. I know some people may complain of leaks, but I have not had a problem, I think all of the nappies can have different fits which is why it is best to try a few first to see what works for your baby, these are the ones that worked for us, nice and tight around her chubby little legs and adjustable around her waist. They are easy to prepare for the wash, just need to fold the laundry tabs over and pull the tongue out, then another bonus is the pull out tongue dangles whilst drying which also speeds up the drying process. I am a tots bots convert, I use easyfit star for daytime use and bamboozle stretch with a peenut wrap and motherease stay dry booster for night time use.

This nappy is so easy to use. No complicated stuffing or choosing boosters and absorbency levels. The pull out inner means it dries quickly on the line or in the airing cupboard over night. The Velcro allows for perfect fitting around her skinny legs and fat tummy. Obviously the beautiful patterns are the best part! We always get compliments
