Easy Peasy Bimble Nappy for Newborns Reviews

4.6 Rating 24 Reviews

The Bimble is a tiny sized shaped nappy which covers a smaller weight range than most size 1 nappies. The huge advantage of this is that it is much trimmer than most first size nappies and so will fit easily under normal clothing. Especially suitable for small newborns (eg. prem or multiples).

“I've been using the Easy Peasy Bimbles on my baby for 3 weeks and absolutely love them! We used disposables for the first week, as she's our first baby and weren't sure if cloth nappies would be too much extra work or not - looking back I could've started immediately! The bimble, with motherease wrap, definitely has a cute factor, but obviously that's no good if performance is poor. We've had no poo OR wee leaks, even at night where they've been on for quite a long time, whereas we had a couple with disposables. My baby's bum stays fairly dry due to the fleece lining. They're easy to put on and fasten with a nappi nippa & wrap. We chose a newborn shaped nappy before moving onto a birth to potty type system when my baby has outgrown the newborn size, partly as we wanted to try the idea of cloth nappies as cheaply as possible before deciding if they were right for us (buying the shaped newborn nappies and wraps is a lot less of a mistake financially than shelling out for a birth to potty set and then thinking cloth nappies are not for us!) However, I actually would recommend the shaped nappies anyway, for performance. Financially they don't save any money on buying nappies as they aren't used for very long, but I think I'll break even or save money over the course of 2 children. This lack of saving over disposables, in the time they're used for, is the only reason I've given 4 stars over 5. I was worried about the ease of use and the extra work these nappies might entail over disposables, but I have to say, they're easy peasy!! I do a wash every other night and stick them on the line to sun bleach first thing in the morning, then after a couple of hours (or overnight) I stick them in my airing cupboard and they're dry and ready to go in about 12 hours ish. Just have to make sure the fabric at the waistband is definitely dry.Very pleased with my purchase and all my friends think my baby has the cutest bum in these!!”

“I purchased a lot of these and then promptly returned them (except one) as they seemed too involved. Putting them on with the nappy nippa, covering with a wrap specially in a skeptical household was not functional but 6 months on, that is the system I use and it works wonderfully. There's no point using an all in one if it leaks and you're constantly having to change clothes and sheets. So even though it was too late for me to use (after investing in a set of all in ones), this I believe is the best solution. Either that or just start off when Bamboozle stretches fit.”

“These are ok - cheap and simple and I only bought one nappy nippa because they dont need washing. They look really cute and like "proper" cloth nappies. They dry quickly and are easy and comfortable to use. They do need boosting though as one wee soaks them”

“These are great newborn nappies for all the reasons that people have given - slim (fit under newborn size clothes), easy to use with nappi nippa, fast drying, fleece stays soft.BUT it only takes half a minute to fold a muslin, which is just as slim and I'm not at all convinced the absorbency is any better (although you could add a booster to the pocket). So, although cheaper than other fitted nappies, this is quite an expensive option for something you're only going to use for about 2 months.”

“We used these from birth and we absolutely LOVED them. Our baby was 5lb13oz and they were perfect. It would seem they would also fit extra-small babies too, as the tabs can overlap without making the nappy too bulky at the front. I purchased 20 of these and it was the perfect amount needed for our little one, provided we kept up with washing every other day. They were super-fast to dry (we hung them in the window). After many washes, the inner part of the nappy stayed extra-soft, but the outer seemed to get a little rough. I suppose that's expected but with the wrap on top anyway, it doesn't make much difference against the skin, as it doesn't touch.The nappi nippa was easy to use too and after a few practises I found that they these nappies were quicker to put on than a disposible. Provided the wrap is on correctly there should be no leaks either. Even though it's said they can be held together with a single wrap, I would recommend nappi nippas too, for the extra support. It "officially" fits to 15lbs, but we couldn't use them past 10lbs at most. We found them to get a little tight and they seemed to fall down because of their tiny size. Despite this, I am saving these for my next baby and I would recommend them to anybody.”

“A very sweet, easy to use, light, flexible newborn nappy. I much prefer newborn nappies that don't have a set fastening and can be used with nippas or just folded carefully in the nappy. It allows for more flexibility around the bellybutton area and seems gentler on delicate new babies with nothing to bind them too tightly. The fleece lining of the bimbles is also a plus as it means every part of the nappy that touches baby's skin is soft and dry. Finally, the pocket in the nappy allowing for extra stuffing is useful in terms of extending the life of the nappy because as the baby wets more, absorbency can be boosted without having to move on to a larger sized nappy or one made of different material.”
