Nappy Hire Kits are an economical way to use tiny newborn nappies that only fit for a few months. A hire kit contains enough nappies for full time use got one baby. Hire Kits are only available for hire in the UK
“Loved using these nappies. So easy and no leaks. The only problem was that we regularly ran out of inserts washing every other day as newborns poo a lot! An extra 3 inserts and it would have been perfect!”
“I decided to try this newborn hire kit to provide some experience with using a cloth nappy system without the significant expense of buying a whole set. I also had no idea of what I really wanted or needed and there are so many different options. I was very pleased with the Wizard Duos and have ended up buying the Onesize now that my baby has grown out of the XS Duos. There is an overwhelming amount of information online about cloth nappies and a lot of individual preferences. I decided to go for this system again because it is: a) easy to use; b) fast to dry c) no fuss matching inners and outers (I just throw a few inners and a wrap into my bag and head out the door); d) minimal laundry effort (no folding) e) no leaks. That is pretty much all I need in a nappy.”
“We were excited to get this kit as the Wizard Duo was the solution recommended for us in the questionnaire. Started using them when baby was a week old and have been full time in cloth since three weeks old. There was a bit of a learning curve to master fitting them with no leaks, so might benefit from a “how to fit” video (I could find for the Uno but not Duo). There are enough nappies here to be full time cloth if you wash every day and stay really on top of the changes; one more wrap and a couple of night inserts would have been great just to give us a bit of wriggle room in the laundry routine and avoid overnight leaks as baby got bigger. Baby is now ten weeks old and has pretty much outgrown this size, so we’ll be returning it shortly and investing in the BTP set.”
“Positives - hire kit arrived in time ready to use with some clear wash instructions (if you’ve not used cloth before). Nappies are in good condition. When I’ve bought stuff from the site before the communication has always been excellent. Easy to change the microfibre insert in the wrap. Easy to put the nappies on and have fit our little one fine.Negatives - not enough in kit to use full time. We haven’t been using the kit at night as the microfibre wouldn’t last long enough so have used alternatives to allow fewer changes. Given the recommendation to change a newborn every 2-2.5 hours there aren’t enough nappies in the kit unless you wash every other day and even with 2 kids in the house we don’t generate this much washing to provide a full load every 2 days. Even with a wash every 3rd day I’ve been running out which makes the kit feel quite expensive to hire given it doesn’t cover cloth full time.In summary if we have anymore kids I’d probably try and source second hand newborn nappies instead.”
