We've used cloth for all of our children but with baby number 3 (now 6 months old) I thought that instead of replacing our leaky pocket nappies I'd try terry squares instead. Absolutely love these bamboo/cotton ones as they provide an excellent level of absorption compared to microfibre and learning to fold the nappies was dead easy (I'm just following the tutorials on this website). I think this pack provides brilliant value for money and I can see these lasting till my baby is potty trained (and for any other babies we're blessed with in the future!).

I was struggling with urine burns at night with my large 2 year old. He was potty trained in the day time so I didn't want to spend a fortune on nappies we might not need for much longer. I'd tried a few nappies recommend for night time and they just weren't big enough due to my childs height and were still leaking and completely soaked through dispite boosting. So I brought these, for the price for 2 shaped nappies I have 6 towels, and they have solved our night time problems! I use them with wool wraps, which themselves are worth their weight in gold, and contribute to the reasons for this great review!

Generally happy with these for our newborn. A couple have frayed at the edges after only a few washes.

These are 50% bamboo and 50% cotton which I didn’t realise when I bought them. I guess this explains why they are so similar to the cotton terry squares!

"Gaynor's fold for girls" is a game-changer! 25 September 2020 | Eleanor
I bought Terries as an economical way to get my nappy numbers up and they really pull their weight. With the Motherease Airflow wraps they have great containment and are a brilliant night-time system. I used the Bat fold for the first few months. I then went off these nappies as I started to find it difficult to get that fold round my very tall (and 75th-centile-for-weight) little girl around 8 months. "Gaynor's fold for girls" changed that - it's brilliant! It puts all the bulk of the nappy where it's needed and is so neat round the buttocks and waist - it's even given my medium Motherease wraps a new lease of life, and is reasonably easy to fit day time clothes over! I've no idea why it wouldn't do as well for boys. Anyway, I'm using Terries just as happily night and day now. I only tend not to put them in the nappy bag for going out as, while it's fun to wrestle a 10mo into a folded nappy on my bedroom floor, I don't fancy it on a fold-down changing table. They do tend to distort away from being perfect squares as they get washed, but you just have to suppress your inner obsessive - they still fold fine and look the same under the wraps!

These are wonderful and have great absorption. In fact we like them so much we have used some as face towels. Great product.

Great but not much difference to cotton terry 24 May 2018 | Jennifer
I got one of these to compare with the white bots all cotton terries thinking it might be a slimmer fit. It is not, it's slightly bulkier if anything, but it is also a bit more absorbent, so I've been tending to use it for overnight under a wool wrap and so far so good! I have only stuck to one though as these are twice the price of the cotton ones and not really worth it imo

These terries do the job, but they are rather bulky for bamboo and don't retain their softness at all which is a shame. They feel similar to my cotton terries now.

Too bulky and not exact squares 11 August 2017 | Diana
I was unable to use as folded nappy as just too bulky once folded. They are also not perfect squares so makes folding neatly tricky. Much softer after washes if tumble dried. Ended up using as towels which is an expensive use for them.

Excellent night time nappy 03 May 2017 | Hannah
We use these on a night with a motherease flow wrap and nappi nippa, I think they are too bulky for day time but have excellent absorbency and are lovely quality, they dry quite quickly on radiator and are quite stain resistant especially once soaked in Napisan.

Great squares, they are more absorbent and softer than my usual terry squares. The only slight downside is that they take a little longer than cotton to dry and i can't just bung them in the tumbler with my usual Terries for a quick dry. I would recommend these for night nappies with a good wrap.

They seem very bulky and thick when compared to other bamboo Terry square not really a problem . Excellent for absorbing hold up over night no problems when using the right fold .a little slow to dry but not as bad as most other nappies . All in all very cheap good bed time nappy

I love these terries slimmer than my cotton ones yet they absorb more they Keep their shape after being washed, you have to be very careful if using a nappy nipper not to pull the little loops but this isn't a big issue I use the angle wing? Fold and I use a blueberry coverall in the day which makes a very trim nappy and mother ease airflow cover at night because my toddler is a heavy wetter I use 2 terries folded in the kite fold, folded as one together and this lasta 12 hours easy.

I'm really disappointed with these. They are really stiff and bulky on my little one no matter how I fold them. They are not soft at all. They do dry quickly and are handy to have around but are unusable for us as nappies. I will try again when she is bigger but at the moment we are stuck with disposables as my 50cm terries are too small for her.

I found the same as the first reviewer. These go really stiff very quickly in my hard water area and I don't have a tumble drier. After a while my cottons went really stiff as well. I used to use flats all the time, but now I always use my little lambs.

Very nice quality. Too big when folded for a comfortable fit on my 3 month old but think they will be great in a few months time.
When I used them at night they were considerably dryer than my other Terry squares in the morning. So great absorbency.
I had the same issue with them getting a bit crispy after washing but this seems to have settled down again.

I bought the terry squares after being talked into it by my mother - for flexibility of sizing/use over a shaped reusable after having used and liked using the cotton Muslinz for our newborn. Generally I am pretty pleased. Beautifully soft on opening, the only minor detraction at this point was that one of the nappies overlocked edge had not been properly finished and was fraying. I have experimented with folds, using both newborn and Gaynor's. I am currently using them with the Motherease airwrap, which doesn't leak when I attach the nappies, but occasionally does when my partner does - he reckons this is down to his lack of expertise in folding and putting them on our baby. However, usually I can get up to 12hrs overnight using these and a booster without leaks. Baby is now nearly 6months, and I'm hoping that as she grows, the terry squares will continue to be flexible in their fit and so continue to be a good investment.

Bought these for my heavy wetting little girl and they're great, I don't need to boost then and if folded correctly can look nice and slim too.

Can't believe they're bamboo 17 October 2014 | Sandra
I bought these after the Nature Babies ones assuming they'd be the same. They are not!
They are probably okay if you have a tumble dryer but I don't so they became really rough and stiff after being line dried.
Bamboo is supposed to be soft but these are like putting sandpaper on your baby!

Response:
We discontinued the nature babies ones due to continued feedback that they shrunk too much. These are a denser bamboo fabric, it's more heavy weight and is woven in a way to prevent shrinkage and hold onto more fibres long term.
