"Very soft nappy"
I was very impressed when i opened the package to find the sofest nappy ever!!!
After washing it 3 times and only drying it on the radiator i was impressed with how fluffy and soft it stil was.
I am not a cloth nappy user and i use disposables usually
Alice may wore the nappy in the day and once at night.
Overall i was pleasently surprised with how little if any thing leaked out of it.
The only thing was it was a little snug under her crotch which she constantly complained about.
I would recommend this nappy to any cloth user and also to a first time cloth user nappy and its lovely.

"Super absorbent"
My first impressions of this nappy were that it is really soft and small. It is well made and has an easily adjustable velcro fastening giving a snug fit. The advantage of it being slim is that it fits neatly inside the wrap with no worries about it leaking, also it isn't too bulky like some other washable nappies.
It's super absorbent and lasts Jamie through the night without any leaks whearas other washable nappies don't. I have tried quite a lot of different washable nappies and I am very impressed with this one. I would say it is the best one that I've tried.
As the bamboo nappy is very absorbent it does take longer to dry than other materials although compared to another make of bamboo nappy that I have tried the Bambinex Bamboo Nappy dries slightly quicker.
I highly recommend this nappy.

"Excellent containment and so slim"
I already use shaped washable nappies: a mix of cotton and bamboo ones. My first impressions of the nappy was that it was very slim compared to the cotton ones I use and much softer.
Even after prewashing the nappy remained very soft. Overnight my daughter wore the nappy for 15 hours unboosted and it still didn't leak. The depth of the nappy is excellent as it fits my (tall) toddler well now and I would be confident that it would continue to do so until potty training. It is quite narrow across the crotch so it doesn't look as bulky under clothing as the nappies we currently use.
My lovely daughter tested the nappy to its limits and I can report that poo containment is also excellent.
The applix (velcro) on this nappy seems well postioned and there is enough to be effective without adding too much stiffness/bulk.
The only way this nappy could be improved for me would be if the inner booster pad attached with poppers. This would help it stay in place and also be useful for holding extra (overnight) boosters.
Overall I am very impressed with this nappy and would definitely buy them in the future.

"Soft to the touch"
I am already a cloth nappy user but found these sooooooo much softer even after a number of washes, they were also very slimline compared to the cloth nappies i use and others i have seen which was great, my existing ones are huge and she looks like she has a severe body shape issue (but ill guess as she gets bigger they will be fine), the velco attachment meant they were quick and easy to use just as a disposable, which is handy when you have a little one that want to roll away.
The booster was good, although she did have a couple of really huge huge huge explosions and it did leak through the leg area, i have only used the nappy itself and with my external cover it kept everything in so i am unable to comment as to whether the Bambinex external cover is as efficient.
All in all, i wish i had bought these compared to the ones i did, as these are much more user friendly.

"What Wonderful Fluff!"
It really is wonderful fluff!
When I first opened the packet I was very excited (yes I am very sad) as it was so soft and fluffy! I had a bit of a play with it and stuck it in the washing machine for the pre washing. I didn't for the life of me expect it to be as fluffy after washing and drying a few times...but guess what...it was! HURRAH!
I was very impressed with the absorbancy for such a slim and non bulky nappy. I do have nappies that are more absorbant, but they are much more bulky and not as nice for my children to wear. I was also very pleased with the fact it came with a booster, which most nappies don't.
I couldn't get it to last all night with either of my children on its own, but after boosting it out a bit with a hemp insert and a couple of boosters I managed to get it to last for 12 hours, which was a result!
My son is 6 months old, so is in nappies full time and my daughter is 2 1/2 and is dry in the day, so only wears nappies at night. I was glad to see that the nappy fitted both of them perfectly. For my son I just fastened it lower down and folded the top of the nappy over.
All in all I thought it was a great nappy, one of the best I have tried (and I have a severe nappy habit). The only down side I really saw was that it does takes a very long time to dry, especially round the leg cuffs. Apart from that it was fab and I have ordered a few more of them in different colours! I think I have a problem!!

"Very soft"
I have been testing the Bambinex Bamboo Nappy. I am already a cloth nappy user. I currently use shaped cotton nappies.
All cloth nappies need washing a few times to build up the absorbency. I have found the Bambinex Bamboo Nappy stays soft even in a hard water area.
The Bambinex Bamboo Nappy is very easy to use. It has velcro to fasten it. The nappy has very good containment which is down to the elastic around the legs. It is also a very slim nappy.
The Bambinex Bamboo Nappy is extremely absorbent, it has lasted my daughter overnight which is no small thing.
It is very good value for money and is very well made.
I am planning to buy a few to add to my nappy collection.
