Hi Rachel,

I recently purchased a tot bots bamboozle to see what it was like, and to help me decide if I wanted to buy more. I haven’t had it for very long so I don’t know how hard wearing they are over a long period of time.

Yes they are absorbent but not as absorbent as Baby Beehinds Bamboo, but they are quicker drying (the eternal absorbency verses quick-drying trade off).

I have a size 2 for my fatty boom-bah 10 month old and it fits fine. I never thought of turning the top down to fit a smaller baby. I tired it and it looked OK but you really need to road test these things on a real baby to be sure (and there wasn’t one handy that was the right size, baby that is).

You can use any PUL cover over a tot bots bamboozle.

I suggest you try a range of MCN and see what works best for you and your bub, what works well for some will be hopeless for others, but it does mean stuffing around a bit to begin with. I have lots of different types of nappy and I use different ones for different things depending on how much absorbency I need (long car trips, nights, naps, etc). It is also good to have nappies that have varying drying times.
