If you are not planning on having any more babies this works out as an economical option for clothing a newborn. There are 20 newborn sized nappies which are very absorbent and wash well. They take about two days to dry but can go in the tumble drier. Washing every two days I have not run out. There are five wraps. I got two rikkis, one airflow, a blueberry capri and a misolo. They are all sized to fit a newborn. Also three nappi nippas. The kit was sent well before my due date. I would fully recommend this kit.

We had an overall great experience with the bimbles newborn nappy hire kit.
We waited until the umbilical cord fell off the little one before we could properly use them as we found that it was hard to protect the area with these nappies. As soon as the cord fell off we used these exclusively - we found the absorbancy great and they were soft against the baby's skin. The kit was in great condition and we found the nappy nippas easy to use.
One thing that we didn't necessarily like was the wraps provided - they were a good variety in terms of trying out different wraps, however we didn't particularly like the velcro ones and some of them were too big to begin with, so we found ourselves waiting for the 2 more adjustable ones to come out of the wash very often. I would definitely like to see either more wraps provided, or 5 wraps that adjust very small so that they are enough to last between washes.
We loved the services and found it great value for money, even though we only used them for 2 months as the little ones grew out of them quickly. I also love the fact that these nappies are reused, making it even more eco friendly.

I love this nappy kit. The nappies are easy to use, as are the nippas and wraps. It was all in excellent condition when received, and the advice given both with the nappy kit and online has been invaluable. Very worth the investment to give you an idea of whether washables is for you. My only drawback is how bulky they look on my little one but that's by the by - nothing can be done about it.

We hired a newborn kit and started using the day after coming home from hospital (day 3). So far so good - only challenges we’re finding so far are that wrap occasionally catches on umbilical stump & also a bit tougher when catches on sore nipple compared to the disposable.

So delighted to come home from hospital and start using this kit. Little one is 7lb 10oz but slim and the nappies and wraps are just about starting to fit well. He would be completely swamped by our birth to potty ones. The Bimbles are so easy to put on and so soft on his bottom, and wash like a dream so far with a good drying time on my indoor airer (in February with heating on). Very efficient service from The Nappy Lady and all the nappies beautifully clean or brand new in the kit, and nice patterns on the wraps. Adding to the joy of the early weeks and I look forward to the next nappy change! If you are thinking of hiring one of these kits, do it!

My partner and I have been using the Bimbles kit on our twins for 10 weeks now and have thoroughly enjoyed it. It has been so easy to use even in the chaos of two babies and the amount of nappy changes that involves!
The bimble itself with nappi nipper is very straightforward even on wriggly babies and you get a good range of wraps to try out.
We have got into a good wash routine always trying to leave enough nappies until the next load is dry, a little tricky in the early days when nappy changes are very frequent. There were odd occasions when we used disposable and definetly looked forward to getting the bimbles back on the babies bums! So much better for their skin especially my sensitive skinned twin.
I would highly recommend this kit to anybody twins or singletons for it's ease of use and introduction into the world of cloth nappies!

Great kit unfortunately my boy hit the 12lb weight limit at 5 weeks (and barely fitted into them before that) so we didn't get that much use out of the kit.

I am very happy with the service and communication from the nappy lady so far. There is lots of advice on the website and being able to hire this kit for new born at a good price is great. Although the nappiesvare raring to go I cannot commentyet on their use as baby hasn’t arrived yet . Thanks

Great service and the product exactly as described but it wasn't for us. Managing the nappi nipper on these and then putting the wrap over the top while my newborn wriggled and screamed was just too much! Sure the nappy lady is totally right and these were better for containment but all in ones were so much easier for us and we didn't mind a few leaks. Tricky to know whether your wee one will be a reluctant nappy changer as you have to hire these kits so far in advance but something to think about.

Having hired newborn nappies from The Nappy Lady when my first daughter was born, we decided to repeat this for our second. We found Bimbles to be a great fit and easy to wash and dry. They are easy to use on a tiny squirming baby and, because you are changing the baby frequently the hire quantity from The Nappy Lady is just perfect.

Rating:

We were sure that we wanted to use a reusable nappy system from the start but didn't know how to make an informed decision from all the available options out there. The Nappy Lady's advice was invaluable, as is this hire kit, which lets you try it out for a few months before getting your own.

My baby is two weeks old and I have to say for inexperienced parents we are managing quite well with the Bimbles nappies! The Nappi Nippas are a little bit fiddly but not too onerous and the nappies themselves dry relatively quickly on a heated airer (we don't have a tumble dryer).

In all, we will definitely look to getting our own set when the hire period is over, and are very glad for the hire option so that we can give it a trial run!

I am really happy with this hire kit. Our system is to cloth nappy during the day, and use disposables during the night (husband took some convincing to cloth nappy!) The number of nappies in this kit, combined with the cloudy London weather lets me wash every 2 days without the dryer.

Size wise, these are a good fit for my baby - he was born 8oz 7lb and 55cm long (more tall than he is wide) and I think these nappies will last at least a month more depending on growth.

I would recommend buying a couple more wraps - personally I like the snaps better than the velcro which seems a bit scratchy. The milovia and blueberry newborn size covers fit well with these nappies.

Thank you nappy lady for a really useful bit of kit at a reasonable price, much appreciated.

I've just sent back my bumbles hire pack with wraps and have really enjoyed using them. The nappies were delivered several weeks early so I could practise but they were easy to put on and fitted baby well when she arrived (6lb 3oz). The nappies looked good quality and although used didn't have any stains and had plenty of life left in them. I also used the wrap hire which included airflow and Rikki motherease wraps, again used but plenty of life in them ( I think one was new). This also allowed me to decide which wraps were my favourite and which I'd purchase in the future. I would thoroughly recommend this hire pack, they are lovely slim but absorbent nappies that fit a newborn much better than btp or size 1 nappies but without the expense of buying them. As always a fantastic friendly and efficient service from h nappy lady- thank you!

This is my 3rd child but have been using cloth for 5 years. I think hiring a newborn kit is an excellent idea as you don't need to pay for an extensive kit for a few weeks of wear. The Bimbles themselves are a nice design with a snug fit, and would have worked well on my first children - but my third is a heavy wetter so I did not find them absorbent enough and I had to boost them with bamboo boosters that I had to source elsewhere.

Rating:

I used cloth with my first child from 3 months (teddies during day & bumbles overnight) and this time around was keen to start sooner. The kit is ideal as the bimbles are essentially the same as bumbles only smaller so you get a snug fit. Hiring the kit means I didn't have to invest more money in tiny nappies whilst waiting for the baby to grow into the teddies.

I found the number of wraps & nappies to be fine, but then I was still doing a regular nappy wash for our eldest anyway and also the baby didn't dirty the nappy every time.

Overall v happy with the kit!

I started using the hire kit straight from birth (the hospital staff/midwives hadn't seen the reusable nappies before!) and they are absolutely brilliant. Very easy to use, they wash beautifully and baby girl seems to enjoy wearing them. I really prefer them to the few disposables that I've tried (even the organic natural ones) they are more substantial and obviously have both an environmental and financial benefit. I would highly recommend the hire system!

Rating:

The nappies came in good time (the baby was almost two weeks late, anyway!) and great condition. The Bambinex liners fit perfectly, and everything is super easy to use.

The only thing stopping me from giving this product five stars is that I could do with more nappies. We do a wash every day just to stay on top of things - this is probably down to the fact that we do not have a tumble drier. It might be good to recommend the twins kit for people without driers.

We've been using bimbles for our first child as my husband and. Really wanted to use cloth nappies, but didn't want to spends lot if money only to find out tha it wouldn't work for us. This is the best nappy hire for newborns I've found. It's exceptional value for money as other hire schemes usually only let you have nappies for a few weeks.

The nappies themselves arrived in I good time and in excellent condition. I've recommended ths to everyone expecting I baby that I know.
