Jodie, I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my GK's. I use funtimes and anytimes during the day and the minky ones at night (just 'cos they're so nice and soft and snuggly). They have fit DS since he was 6 months and he's now nearly two, but yes I agree, any "One Size" nappy is not going to fit at either end of the small-large scale.

As for the GK's inserts, I only use bamboo and yes, they take forever to dry but the absorbency is so reliable (unbeatable). I always buy seconds bamboo inserts, just email GK's and ask about them, I think they are about 30% cheaper and I can very rarely tell why they are seconds (they always look fine to me). I have more inserts than nappies so I can leave them on the clothes horse overnight to do a bit more drying. I use one bamboo insert per nappy for days and two bamboo inserts at night.
