Nappies and Wraps
Shaped Nappies
Absorbent material nappy which fits snugly around your baby. Used with a separate wrap
so you are required to put on two layers. A shaped nappy is probably the most leak proof of
all nappies
and works particularly well on new born babies

Wraps
Covers/outer part
used with shaped nappies to prevent wetness on clothes. You need to buy
about
1/3 of the
number of wraps to shaped nappies as you can usually use them 2 - 4 times before
washing.

Nappies
Just one piece to
put on, so very similar to using a disposable nappy

Pocket
Nappies
Just one piece to put
on. They consist of a stay dry inner layer and a waterproof outer
layer. It is
like an envelope which you stuff with an absorbent booster/insert. The big
advantage of pocket nappies is that after washing they dry
quickly because you pull out the
booster and dry seperately.

'Onesize' verses 'sized' nappies
The advantages of buying 'sized' nappies (ie small, medium and large) is that they fit your baby
well and are therefore generally slim fitting and neat. If you are planning to have more
children 'sized' nappies will last longer in terms of wear and tear as your baby will only be
in each nappy for a period of 6 - 12 months. The downside is that they will cost a bit more money.
The advantages of 'onesize' nappies is that they are very economical, you can buy one set of 20.
(If you have 2 children in nappies at the same time you will need to buy a few more.) They
are usually very bulky on newborn and smaller babies, but it is worth remembering that babies
grow quickly in the first few months of their lives! There is also the possibility the nappy will
become too small before your child is completely out of nappies. You may find it useful to
have a mixture of 'sized' and 'onesize' nappies in your kit. This will give you the economical
benefit of having some 'onesize' nappies but you will also have the advantages of some
'sized' nappies that fit really well while your baby is small
