New Swaddlebees Econappi

[Antheia]

Has anyone tried the new Swaddlebees Econappi? What do you think of it? Since it is a one-size, do you think it will be too late to get a couple for my 12kg DS? It's not the waist i am worried about, it's around the legs..

Hey Antheia!

We have one. I think they are a bit over priced, but it does have a lovely velour inner and good quality insert. Just a bit pricey for me!
Nice nappy though. My DD is a bit over 9 kgs, and she has it on the middle snap setting but probably is very close to having it on the largest setting. I think it would still be ok for your son, what does the weight range say??...I can't remember of the top of my head.
Do you have any BG pockets??..to me it looks similar sizing to that..

[Antheia]

It says size up to 16kgs but DS just has quite large thighs. They are a little pricey but if it means to spend more for using organic material then i will. But would like him to be in them until toilet training. It's so hard when you can't physically see them and feel them..

Antheia - I have one and I love it...mind you charlie is only just 7kgs and really skinny, but she is certainly still on the middle snaps.
If you like I can post it over so you can see what it looks like?

I'll PM you LimeSlice.

we're not using the BG pocket cos the crotch is way too wide for my bub.

we use the Swaddlebees SIZED pockets - which have a much narrower crotch.

So i'm guessing the OSFA econappi is a WIDE CROTCH nappy Lee?

the organic velour used in the Swaddlebees is very noice.

Hi Antheia,

The Swaddlebees are wider in the crotch than the sized pockets which is a bit disappointing if you love the true swaddleebees cut but the eco has some good benefits. Sizing wise it is quite generous, nice high rise, my DD is 12kg and the snapper (almost a side snapper) fits well, because the snaps are staggered it gives a nice fit on waist and thighs as you can adjust individually. I don't use the velcro so I can't comment. the insert is delicious and can beused on top if you are in a rush as the one size insert is also topped with organic cotton velour (we often use our spares as a booster in other nappies)

Hey Gigi, yeh, I think it is a wide crotch nappy. But I haven't actually lined it right up against a BG, but I don't think it would be too far off.

I'm also finding that DD soaks the insert very quickly too. So I think we will have to start boosting it.

Lee, at 11 months, my bub was needing six layers of hemp or bamboo in her nappies (day nappies) e.g two layers of terry, four layers of fleece. I've been told bubs go thru stages of wetting too. I thought it was expediential - e.g the older they get, the bigger the bladder, so the more they can wee (in quantity). but apparently there are more factors at play. SOme bubs become big wetters then change to LESS, then at another stage, increase again. it's complicated!!!
