Hi Pip82 I just had a look at the nappies. We were given some of them when DS3 was born as a gift. They weren't called Little Ripples they were called Baby Land from a different supplier, but they are the same nappy.
Ok so I threw out the microfiber inserts they were just too crap, one new born wee and they were soaked. But we still use them now with our other inserts and they have been pretty good! We use them with Iishfly bamboo prefolds, or BBH boosters/inserts. I noticed only yesterday that the PUL is starting to come away from a few. That's after 18 months use though so not bad for the price I think. We have Itii's and BBH in our stash too so it's not exclusive use of the Little Ripples, but DS is full time cloth so they are used daily if not every second day. The elastic started to stretch out a few months ago, but there were enough snaps that you can bear with it for a while. I have a snap setter so we added a couple of extras to the really stretched few. So if you still have your old inserts I'd say they would be a good option for you.
Hope that was helpful for you
