Swaddlebees One-size Organic Cotton Velour Nappies

The sumptuous organic cotton velour nappies from Swaddlebees are also available in a "one-size" design. This nappy will adjust to give a good fit for most babies from birth to potty training (approx 8lb - 40lb)*. Made with an inner and outer layer of 100% certified organic cotton velour to make the nappy quick absorbing and stay soft next to baby's skin. Inside these layers is a hidden third layer of super-absorbent hemp jersey.

The nappy is supplied with two booster pads to increase absorbency whilst keeping the nappy as quick drying as possible. There is an attached "flap-out" booster composed of two layers of hemp french terry and topped with another layer of soft organic cotton velour. There is also a "popper in" removable booster that can be used when the nappy is on its largest setting or used as a tiny shaped nappy for a premature or newborn baby (see teddy below!).

This nappy therefore has up to nine layers of absorbent fabric in the areas it is most needed. However, because three of these layers are in the flap-out booster and a further three in a removable booster, Swaddlebees One-Size Organic Velour nappies do not take excessively long to dry.

This nappy has the characteristic trim cut of the Swaddlebees brand, being relatively narrow across the crotch and high-cut at the leg to suit slim or chubby thighs equally well. The nappy fastens with four poppers at the waist.

Swaddlebees Organic Cotton Velour nappies are available in a choice of natural unbleached organic cotton velour or several beautiful colours. Coloured nappies come with just the outer layer dyed with low-impact, environmentally friendly dyes, and all layers next to the baby's skin are undyed.

This nappy is not waterproof and will require an outer wrap. Most nappy wraps will be suitable to cover this nappy.

Sizing - fits from birth to potty training

The nappy comes complete with its own snap-in booster so there is no need to purchase this separately.

	There are three setting to adjust the rise (height) of the nappy. For the largest height setting don't popper down the nappy.
	For the small and medium settings fold the front of the nappy and fasten the poppers at the desired setting.This exposes a new set of waist poppers on the inside of the nappy. The picture shows the nappy about to be fastened on the medium height setting.
	Fasten the right wing to these new poppers and then the left wing. The left wing can be crossed over the right to make the waist even smaller.

This nappy comes complete with its own snap-in booster so there is no need to purchase this separately. For newborn or premature babies this shaped booster pad can be used with a Nappi Nippa, and this is a useful way to double up the number of nappies you have in the first few weeks when babies tend to get through lots of nappies.

Care
Coloured nappies are colourfast and can be washed together with your white nappies without the colours running. Wash at up to 40ºC and hang to dry or tumble dry on low-medium heat. Click for more details on nappy care.

FAQ's

1. Can my heavy wetter baby use this nappy?

Absolutely! While baby is small this nappy will provide plenty of absorbency. When baby is bigger you can use the Popper in booster to increase the absorbency to a super 9 layers.

2. Why do you use organic cotton & hemp fabrics?

Organic knit fabrics are used for the exterior of the nappy, and the interior that touches the baby's skin for their softness and ability to quickly absorb wetness. We use hemp fabrics for 3 reasons: absorbency, durability & anti-microbial properties. Because it absorbs four times more than cotton alone, hemp fabrics are widely known to be one of the most absorbent materials used for nappying. Hemp is also more durable than cotton and can help your nappy last longer. Its natural anti-microbial properties ensures that your baby's nappy stays free from mold, fungus, and bacteria that can cause nappy rash.

3. Since this nappy incorporates hemp, do I need to wash it several times before using?

Not necessarily. You can if you want to, but you simply need to wash it once prior to first use and it's ready to go. It will increase in absorbency over the first few washes.

4. What kind of nappy wraps will work with this nappy?

Most nappy wraps will be suitable to cover this nappy.
