Tots Bots Bamboozle Stretch (Stretchies) Nappy

Rating:

I use these at night on my 5 month old with a motherease airflow wrap and have done so since he was a month old. They're absorbent, comfortable and wash well (long drying time noted but not a problem).

I initially loved them and would have given 5 stars, but have developed a few reservations as my son has grown. I'm using size 2 which should see him up to 35lb; I've followed the washing instructions to the letter, but find that at 20lb they are already becoming tight and the velcro tabs are at the very ends of the tummy velcro strip. I appreciate this is a stretchy nappy, but the velcro is not - and it's very unlikely that this will fit him up to 35lb. I'm disappointed because I wanted a birth to potty nappy, particularly for this price.

After much deliberation and negativity from other mums I decided to give washable nappies a go (I figured I knew no different as a first time Mum!) The nappy lady reccomended bamboozle stretches for my situation and they’ve been fantastic! On the rare occasion I’ve used disposable nappies, they haven’t been as absorbent as the stretchies. Ok, they take some to dry, but over winter I used the radiators and now in spring they dry well outside on the line. They are so soft and my baby has had hardy any nappy rash. Only slight downside is the size of the nappies, you definitely need the clothes extenders and some clothes just won’t fit over them. BUT to know I’m helping the environment and there’s no chemicals on my babies skin certainly outways the tiny niggle about drying and size.

We bought the size 2 for our fast growing 10lb daughter. The popper options make the nappy nice and adaptable. I'm not always sure if I have the velcro tight/loose enough though. Elastic nice and strong for good containment-we have explosive poo and do hit the elastic regularly. As nappy lady recommends it's helpful to give the nappies a stretch when putting put to airdry. Even with a microfiber core these nappies can take over 24 hours to dry, but it's usually just in time for our alternate day washing schedule!

Rating:

Can’t fault these. I knew they’d take ages to dry, having read other reviews, and they do. But are incredibly absorbent, easy to use and wash, and my husband is now completely sold on the idea of reusables, so job done! Another delighted customer.

Rating:

Well it is as it says in the description. The best nappy to use overnight. My 3 month old wore it through the night followed by an explosive poo at 6 am and everything was contained. It does however take very long to dry so although I would love to only use these throughout the day I feel that it is impractical for the English climate (where you have to dry indoors most of the year), unless of course you have a drying machine - in which case I question the ecological value of the whole affair.
Using them only as a nighttime nappy and watching them dry for 3 days is a good compromise for me.

Rating:

Brilliant night time nappy (with motherease stay dry boosters and airflow wrap) last the whole night (12hours+) and keep LOs bum dry. They do dry quite slowly as they're bamboo, but in our boiler cupboard it takes about 18hours.

Rating:

Super nappy for nights. Paired with a mother ease wrap seems to be a bombproof combo even with newborn poop! Only downside takes ages to dry even with a burst In the tumble!

Rating:

I have been using these as a night Nappy for about a year.
Very absorbant. No leaks. (I use with mother ease wrap) Excellent Velcro and laundry tabs. Washes well. Seem comfortable for baby.
Takes a while to dry in winter - 48hours indoor on an airer. Quite bulky, particularly when baby was smaller but as I only use at night not an issue for me.
I am also slightly worried I will have to buy a second size eventually as my boy is bigger than average but we will see.
The Nappy lady service is always excellent. Quality products, Speedy delivery and helpful advice.

Great fit, even on a newborn and seem to be good quality. My son was 7lb7oz and they fit almost immediately with the poppers done up. They take a while to dry but not a problem if you have a mixture of nappies/enough nappies. Not too bulky and are comfortable for baby. Excellent absorbency and fantastic containment. I used with a fleece liner. I was recommended the motherease rikki xs for a cover but actually find I preferred the tots bots covers because they are softer and the Velcro is thinner.

Rating:

I called The Nappy Lady and explained that we still used a disposable liner for nighttime and could she recommend a washable. She asked about the size of my baby (the length mainly) and very simply said 'get the Bamboozle stretch and the Motherease airflow'. I did what she said and we've never looked back! Now we just need to order more to last us the whole week as we don't have a tumble dryer and they do take about 48 hours to dry. Thank you for the great recommendation!

Rating:

I really like this nappy for night wear. It is very absorbent, soft and fits my baby really well (he is 98th% for height). They do take a while to dry but you expect that from bamboo nappies (about a day on the radiator, two if air drying). I would also say that they are not as bulky as other night time nappies.
Never had a leak. Because of the bamboo layer next to the skin I use the motherease stay dry boosters next to the skin to prevent nappy rash. I also use these with the motherease airflow popper wraps.

Rating:

Bully, especially when boosted but the best nappy for overnightz

Rating:

I bought these just for comparisons sake to the Little Lamb Bamboo nappies for night use. I was assuming that these probably would be better (they are, after all, nearly twice the price) but not noticeably so. I have to say, I do think they are much better! Absorbency wise, they are similar, with the stretchies just nosing in front (they don't seem quite as sodden after 12 hours), but they definitely seem to be higher quality and less bulky. I also prefer these velcro tabs to the little lamb ones, they are easier to put on quickly. They also are softer and dry a bit faster (though still a quite slow, but think that's par for the course with bamboo) And the patterns are adorable, not that that really matters! I use them under the Disana wool wrap and it's an amazing combination. No nappy rash, no leaks, poo well contained, a very happy customer here.

Rating:

These really work.

Rating:

We have been using size 1 on our newborn (7lns 2oz), and she is now 4 months.

Nappies have stayed in excellent condition, they have gone very hard and crispy but that is due to the hard water area in which we live. It has not compromised the use of the nappy.

It has excellent containment, especially when paired with the Motherease wraps.

They look a little bulky (compared to my old pocket nappies) but the baby has still been rolling etc. So her moment hasn't been restricted.

Rating:

Last my twin boys 12+ hours at night with a bamboo booster worn between these and the wrap. Take ages to dry but this is the pay of when so absorbent.

Rating:

Love these new prints. As with other bamboozles these are very absorbent and great night nappy.

Rating:

Wow we bought a lot of these
40 - as we are a setting. Soooooo pleased with them. Love them. Its a big step and big expense to move over as a setting to reusable but IT WORKS and has been fab xx

Rating:

Really happy with these nappies. We use them with Motherease Rikki wraps as suggested by the nappy lady. 4 months in and no leaks and we have had some night wears of near 12 hours! Occassionaly add another booster between wrap and nappy at night but to be honest not convinced this is actually necessary. I chose these nappies for night time and any other time when I really can't afford leaks!

Rating:

We use these every night with a wrap and he goes the whole night without a leak. Brilliant.

Rating:

These are great overnight nappies. I combine them with a bamboo booster and fleece liner plus a wrap. No leaks at all (unlike with disposables I've used), although they are saturated by morning, probably due to multiple night feeds!

Rating:

In my opinion a nappy should be washed at 60°, so far it hasn't harmed it. Fitting OK but not great

Rating:

With a thin hemp booster and disana woollen pants it can take 10 hours. I hold her out before going to sleep to reduce the chance of nighttime poo. Dries long but when i put it near the radiator it takes maybe 16 hours. I like that it's made in the UK. It's easy to change at night because of the hook and loop, so far nice fit. My life is much easier now!

Rating:

The bamboozle is a great night nappy, very absorbent. Really good service from the nappy lady once again

Rating:

Just perfect nappy. Started with size 1 and swiched to size 2 at 5 months for better fit and improved absorbency. For my baby boy lasts 12 hours easily (with motherease or totsbots wrap).

Rating:

These nappies are less bulky than Little Lamb bamboos and fit my little boy well. Very absorbent even without the booster. They do take ages to dry though.

Rating:

After having ordered this nappy I really understood what all the fuss is about. It is a great nappy for the night, soft and reliable. I use it with a disana wool soaker and it lasts all night on my heavy wetting 14months old, just with one additional Booster (and I am not sure that's even totally necessary). Highly recommended!

Rating:

I love these nappies for nighttime, they are soaked by morning but no leaks to be found. They are a little bulky for daytime on a small baby but still very wearable.

Rating:

These nappies are brilliant, genuinely very absorbent, and being stretchy they fit well. We are using them for a tall special-needs four year old, so slimness is essential. We have not had a single leak yet, though have not tried them overnight yet as we use the easy peasy bumper nappy for that. But for daytime use I can't fault them. Washing is easy and I am lucky enough to have an airing cupboard so they dry in 24 hours.

Rating:

Overall good but needed and extra bamboo liner in there as baby ends up soaking overnight.

No leeks though and very snugly

Rating:

This seems comfortable for my baby and with the mother ease wrap works well for containment.

Rating:

These replaced another brand for me, which I had found to harden and which had their velcro curl quickly. These have been great so far, a few weeks in and are still pretty soft (although I do tumble dry most of the time), have contained brilliantly (I was fitting them a little poorly at first which meant a leak or two). The adjustment is good, a little bulky, but I would expect that anyway. Just need more people making clothes for real nappy wearing babies now!

Rating:

Great product and quick delivery. Nothing escapes these nappies!

Rating:

Was needing more absorbency overnight for my 8 month old and these are fantastic. Lasting 13hrs overnight - so heavy in the morning but no leaks/ rashes

Rating:

Never leaks, is super soft and comfy. I use a milovia wrap over the top which does a great job on our little one (5.3kg / 60cm, so fairly skinny).
We don't need to change during the night, meaning the bamboozle often stays on for 12 hours. Amazingly, it doesn't even smell bad, as long as there's only urine in it, obviously.

Rating:

These nappies are the most lovely and soft ones ever! Equally though they take a long time to dry, forget air drying they need a radiator or dryer. They work really well but are quite bulky on a newborn so their bottom is more elevated than their head when they sleep. They fit brilliant for a newborn but just bulky. I look forward to using these more when my baby is a little bigger.

Rating:

I've found this reliable and have had fewer leaks with this nappy than with any other nappy (including disposables). Easy to use. Takes ages to dry even in the summer though. (Hence four rather than five stars).

Rating:

Brilliant nappy- lovely and soft, gives a great fit even on smaller less chubby babies, has so far stayed nice and soft after washing and doesn't take too long to dry considering its absorbency. Marginally prefer the Sandy's over the Stretchie because I prefer poppers and the front over back configuration, which on my particular baby allows me to get a better fit and avoids the bulbous Velcro section lying against her waist and potentially rubbing (although I haven't actually experienced any rubbing or soreness with the Stretchies). Have found that the White Velcro on the cream nappy turns a bit of a "dirty white" colour after washing, but obviously doesn't show once a wrap's over the top and doesn't affect performance. Have only been using for a couple of months, so can't comment on longevity.

Rating:

The nappy lady recommended these to me as an overnight nappy. Delivery was prompt & in line with emails. The nappies themselves are lovely. Soft, bright, easy to use, easy to fit & see my 5 month old through a 12 hour night without needing changing. Wonderful 😊

Rating:

These nappies are great for nighttime, my ten week old can last ten hours+ in them overnight despite overnight feeds and still has a dry bottom in the morning. At present we're only using the snap on booster which came with the nappy (+a fleece liner and wrap). They also contain her large, liquid breastfeeding poos which have defeated all disposables! They are very bulky but for nighttime this doesn't bother me and I'm actually reassured that they will last as she grows. I use the motherease airflow wraps as with the Rikki there always seemed to me some Velcro scratching her. The nappies do take a while to dry- just over 24 hours on an airer inside next to a sunny south facing window- but the five recommended by Wendy is plenty if you wash every other day.

Rating:

We use the PeeNut inserts during the day and the Bamboozle stretch during the night, with a PeeNut wrap and a PeeNut insert as a booster. This works really well for us. The nappy does take long to dry, so you do need some extra to make sure you have a dry one after washing.

Rating:

Great nappy that is slim but absorbs lots of wee. I have had no leaks with this since getting the fit right. Washes really well and takes about 18 hrs to dry on the airer in the conservatory. Stays lovely and soft without any tumbling.

I bought these for my daughter after reading loads of reviews and advice carefully, I find them excellent and am a total convert - although I admit I haven't tried many others but then I don't need to! The shape and fit is excellent, Felicity was an average size newborn (7lbs8) and these were good from the off although obviously looked enormous on her as a newborn. She is now 4 and a half weeks old and these are starting to feel a little snug, not on width, but on length, to pull up high enough when they have a thick booster in there too. I think I will soon be moving up to the size 2, but these have been excellent for this first month at least. I didn't use the poppers to make them smaller for more than about the first week, but then she is a fairly long baby and I needed the extra length to fit my boosters in as well, which she wears all the time. The nappy by itself has good absorbency though, it's just that I only change her every 3 or 4 hours usually so I like the extra absorbency at all times, and she is comfortable in these. When used with a wrap obviously (we used Motherease Rikki as recommended) there have been no leaks. On the odd occasion when poo has got round the liner and onto the edge of the nappy, it's come off fine with no staining at 40 degrees after wet-pailing. Obviously the absorbency means that these take a long time to dry, we've been able to use outside line-drying mainly which has helped, but these have needed at least 20 minutes tumble drying as well after a day on the line. So it is worth getting an extra 5 of these so you can wash every other day, otherwise it can be frustrating having to use the tumbledryer all the time. They will dry on a clothes-horse as well but obviously this takes much longer. Overall this is a great buy, the stripe pattern is attractive, and they are so easy to use. I find the Velcro fastening a great feature as its so much quicker than a popper

Rating:

I brought 2 of these to try with my 2 month old at night and they are great. She is a heavy wetter but easily see her through 9 hours of sleep (I know im lucky!) still with some absorbency left and no discomfort. With a fleece liner her bottom is dry in the morning and no rash or redness. I use these with the Motherease airflow wrap and have zero leaks!

Rating:

I love these nappies. They look so cute (we have one of each of the stripy ones), they are very easy to adjust sizing and very very easy to put on - easier than disposables. The containment is excellent; never had a leak. They are also quite a slimline fit for a 2 part nappy.

However they are so slow to dry. Our house is not warm but they can take up to 48 hours. The Bumbles, by contrast, have usually dried on the same rack in 8-10 hours. So we've not been able to have only Bamboozles as our full nappy system. If we had a warmer house (or maybe a heated drying rack) then I'd go full time on these.

Rating:

We used to use PopIn Bamboo nappies at night but with baby number two we have switched over to these fabulously absorbant bamboozles.
The main reason was to give baby a break from plastic and use Wool Wraps at night instead.
The Popins used to be so sodden so I was so surprised that the wool wraps with these Bamboozles stopped leaks all together, and we have zero nappy rash as air is now circulating for the 12 hours at night. I couldn't recommend this method more highly.

Rating:

We use this nappy on our six month old boy for 13 hours over night (13 hours!!). Paired with a Junior Joy basic booster, a Tots Bots bamboo booster and a wool cover we never get leakages. Love this nappy (bought three for full time night use!).

Rating:

We were looking for something to replace terry squares for ease of use during the day and thought this would be a good option. It's a great nappy, not too bulky, and now we've worked out the best way of putting them on, fairly leak free. I feel that the elastic at the back digs in quite a bit into his back and I couldn't initially get the front to lie flat. Also the manufacture quality seems less than I expected. The booster seams are starting to unravel a little (striped bamboozles). A good nappy but with some niggles

Rating:

I am very happy with my purchase. They are very soft, fit fell and are super absorbent. They do take a while to dry, but I find this a relatively minor issue when I think that thanks to this I don't have to wake up at night to change his nappy.

Rating:

Got this to use over night and it works great with the booster and a wrap. No leaks so far.
