    Hi Amanda
    I used Peapods and I thought they were great. Easy to use and wash. I didn't have any problems with leakage. I also love the colours they come in. DD also loves putting them on dollies and Teddies.

    Hi Amanda, I have 5 of these, they were my first lot. They are easy to use and wash, though I find they don't hold as much as other and after a few month the elastic is strating to go.

    For pockets I prefer the Pocket Change brand. They hold more, cost less and I use them at night. No hope for that for the peapods. Darcy's about the same age. PM me and I'll show you where I got them if you want.

    I use peapods for all mine. I don't have problems at night with them. The older two i add two night boosters and a normal insert and that lasts them 12hrs. With Eleanor i jus add one night booster and the insert and that lasts 12hrs as well.

    I also use the pocket change and Bumgenius on Eleanor.

    I have 3 peapods... i dont mind them, but my son is a heavy wetter so i always add a microfiber booster to them. 2 at night... although we dont use them at night anymore as i have brought night nappies now...

    i have 6 of them... i use the bamboo insert and a microfibre one and it lasts 12 hours... they are as great fitting as others but they are a good basic pocket nappy

    Ihave only used terry flats and Pea Pods, so to me Pea Pods are amazing compared to the old terries! They fit well, hold lots of wee, we haven't had any leaks of poo, they are easy to use and wash and dry, and they look cute. I haven't tried them at night but after reading the above posts i think i might go and buy a couple of night boosters and try them out.

    I find the hemp peapod inserts take way too long to dry (compared to bumgenius or swaddlebee for example) and the snap fastening causes the wings to sag or fold up when fastening. I prefer pockets with aplix to avoid this problem. The other benefit of aplix on the bumgenius is that it enables you to roll up and fasten a soiled nappy when you are out and have forgotten to bring a wet bag. They do tend to snag a bit in the wash though.

    I find them really good for the price! I usually use a bamboo & hemp insert in one though as DS is a heavy wetter.

    Yes - I have to agree Ourlux - they are great for the price compared to many others.

    I'm a peapod convert, they are the only MCN's that I've used!!!!! I only started using cloth flats about 3 weeks ago, and bought 10 of a friend who got them, but decided they weren't for her, 6 of them were brand new!!! I've had no problems with drying, the weather has been nice tho, so will see how it goes in winter time!!

    I have 3 & love them also. I use the hemp with a microfibre insert. I have the Lge size though so I had to add some snaps so I could cross over the wings for a better fit for Isla. But if I had the *need* for more nappies I would get some mediums for sure. Its probably the only nappy I would actually buy now outside of making my own.
