Next is the Littles & Bloomz Reusable Pocket Cloth nappy, which was previously called Little Bloom nappies.
Made with soft, breathable PUL fiber on the outside, the inside is made of a soft fleece and suede layer made of bamboo fleece. It is a pocket style nappy, with a bamboo charcoal insert to absorb messes and keep the baby comfortable and free from any unnatural synthetics or materials. Little Bloom says that they can hold up to 8 times their weight. They are adjustable, and can be set at 3 different sizes to accommodate babies of all ages. They are also available in a wide range of colours and patterns, and sell for £ for a set of both nappy and insert.
The Littles & Bloomz nappy and insert are easy to wash and quick to dry, and can be stuck in just about any machine washer. Be sure to use a non-bio detergent, and do not use any bleach or fabric conditioner. They should also be hang-dried, and never tumble dried.
The Littles & Bloomz Pocket nappies are pretty cheap for a set nappy and insert set, and are widely liked and well-reviewed by parents from the reviews we’ve read online.
2. LilBit Pocket Cloth Diapers
Key Features
- Good Price
- Well-reviewed
- Pocket Style
- Adjustable
First on our list of best reusable nappies are the Lilbit reusable diapers.
The Lilbit nappies are pocket style, with an outer waterproof, breathable shell and are not made from organic cloth, but rather from waterproof TPU synthetics. The insides have soft microfiber terry cloth, making them soft and comfortable on the baby. These diapers sell as a pack of six, and include six charcoal inserts. The inserts are made of three layers of absorbent microfiber cloth, and two outer layers of bamboo charcoal. They are hypoallergenic, absorbent, and much easier to wash and dry than regular cloth inserts. They are adjustable, and can fit children anywhere from 8lbs to 35lbs. They also include leg gussets, to protect against leaks.
After reading the reviews on Amazon from other mums and dads, Lilbit Nappies are excellent choices for reusable diapers. At this price point for a pack of six, they are also quite affordable. Parents are quite happy with them.
3. Bambino Mio Miosolo All-In-One Cloth Diapers
Key Features
- Wide variety of prints
- Very absorbent
- A little expensive
- Only synthetic materials
The Bambino Miosolo is an all-in-one, reusable nappy that fits babies of all ages, from newborns up until potty training. The size of the nappy can be adjusted by using the adjustable poppers and Velcro fastenings.
The outer layer is made of 100% polyester, laminated to polyurethane, which keeps it stretchy while also water resistant, designed for active babies to like to play and get messy. The inner is made of 100% polyester into soft, comfortable material that keeps the baby feeling dry and comfortable at all the times. The inner, absorbent core of the nappy is made from 85% polyester and 15% nylon, and will absorb just about any moisture or mess.
The core can be easily removed using the unique, tab pull-out system, which makes it easy to wash and dry. The soft, polyester fleece microfiber makes washing the rest of the diaper extremely simple and easy, while the water resistant polyurethane outer comes clean very easily. Bambino Mio recommends using a scoop of Miofresh diaper cleanser when washing, and to hang dry it away from direct heat – do not throw it in a machine dryer. Tumble drying can lead to quick deterioration of the material. Bambino Mio also recommends pre-washing it several times.
The Bambino Miosolo comes in on the expensive side, and is considerably more than other options like the Little Bloom or the LilBit. However, the Miosolo is one of the most popular and widely purchased reusable baby nappies in the UK. It is well-liked and reviewed by many parents online and from what we can see with customers saying that it is one of the best-designed reusable nappies they’ve ever bought. It also comes in a variety of colours and prints, from Pandamonium to Zebra.

TotsBots nappies are made from gorgeously soft, bamboo charcoal cloth, which is up to 7 times more absorbent than traditional cotton nappies, and are naturally anti-bacterial. They contain no added or harmful chemicals. Each nappy comes with 2 absorbent microfiber cloth inserts, which are easily removed and make cleaning and washing easy and simple.
These TotsBots nappies are made to be a one-size-fits-all diaper, and are designed to fit babies from 3kg to 15kg. They come in a variety of animal prints, and sell for a reasonable price for a pack of 3. Other reviewers online appear especially happy with the quality, softness and value they provide.
