Features in detail
This is one of the "new generation" all in ones, designed to be quick to dry without compromising on absorbency. Through combining the best features of other nappy systems, Real Easy nappies acheive the convenience of the all in one, with the slimness, quick drying and customizability of the pocket nappy.

Real Easies combine the latest fabric technology for top performance, with the natural benefits of organic cotton. They have a stretchy outer waterproof layer to keep wetness inside. This is either made from a soft polyester cloth, featuring brand new 'anti-wicking technology' (designed to prevent wetness from spreading around the edges of a wet nappy), or the cuddliest short pile minky fabric (also anti-wicking). Real Easies have an inner fleece lining to keep baby comfortable and dry. These layers form a pocket with an opening at the back. Attached to the fleece inner is a microterry soaker pad (two layers thick) to quickly soak up wetness and wick it away from baby.

Underneath the microterry layer is an absorbent pad made from thirsty, trim organic cotton fabric (three layers). This organic cotton soaker pad 'flaps out' of the back of the nappy, allowing efficient washing and quick drying, but remains attached for quick and easy assembly.

The result is effectively an all in one nappy which dries in the same time as a typical two part nappy, making it extremely easy to use and eco-friendly.

Fit of Real Easies
Real Easy nappies give generous coverage of the nappy area but they are not bulky under clothing. The absorbent pads are just between the legs but the generous cover prevents any unpleasant escapes! To fit the nappy ensure that the elastic-covered fleece at the legs is fitted snuggly into baby's body, where the leg meets the body.

 

 

The Hip Hip Baby! unique leg casing system
Real Easy Nappies are designed so that the outer waterproof layer does not come into contact with baby's skin. The soft fleece completely covers the elastic and there is no bulky seam, giving a lovely, gentle fit around the leg to ensure baby's comfort.

Around the leg the fleece contains the wetness, whilst allowing air to pass into the nappy, allowing the skin to breathe. Fleece does not draw up liquid and cause wicking at the leg and so, although intuitively you might think this design will leak, it doesn't!

The image shows the fit on a newborn's tiny thigh. The nappy softly hugs baby's thigh with no gaping.

 

Night nappy
Many nappies, especially all in ones, are not suitable for night time use. However, the Real Easy has proved a highly reliable night nappy, and there is plenty of room in the pocket to add boosters or extra inserts to ensure it meets the needs of even the heaviest night wetter. The Large and XL sizes are suitable for older children who night train later, up to the ages of 5 or 6 years.

 

Sizing

Real Easy Nappies are available in a range of sizes to ensure you get the perfect fit, though many babies will only require sizes Small and Medium until potty training. There is good overlap between the sizes.

To the right Aaron, who is 18months, 50th centile for weight and height, is wearing a Medium in Soft Blue.

Aleysha, 3 years old, tall and slender for her age, is wearing a Large in Sunshine.

Options
Available with either a supersoft and stretchy polyester knit outer (PUL) in 5 colours: Sunshine, Soft Blue, Soft Green, Seaspray and White

or with a soft, short-pile minky (which has a silky fur feel like a cuddly toy) in 4 solid colours: Sea Green, Bluebell, Plum Red, and Ice Cream; and 5 fabulous prints: Blue Spots, Pink Spots, Citrus Spots, Khaki Spots and Summer Flowers.

Care
Wash at 40ºC (or up to 100ºC, though this should not be necessary!) and hang to dry or tumble dry on low heat setting.

*Tip: pull out the attached soaker to wash and dry. To speed up drying even further, hang to dry inside-side-up, or even turn the pocket inside out to expose the microterry soaker after washing.

Manufacturing
Real Easy nappies are made by Hip Hip Baby, a small, family run business based in a rural North Wales community and employing 8 local people. Their nappies are made by their manufacturing partners in Turkey, in a manufacturing unit where workers have fair pay and conditions, according to the government standards. Real Easy nappies are transported through Europe by road to keep their carbon footprint as low as possible.
