Wonderoo V2 citrus spots

The wonderoo was one of our first cloth nappies that we purchased for Freya when she was a few months old. I was pretty new to the world of cloth and the first thing that attracted me to the wonderoo was the beautiful bright pattern of the citrus spots, its very eye catching! 

The one-size wonderoo, the super stretchy elastic provides maximum comfort with leakage. It features spaced poppers which allow you to adjust the size of the nappy as the baby grows from birth to potty.
 Ive never used the older version of the wonderoos but i know one benefit of the V2 was that its supposed to have a new trim, contoured cut, but for us i have found it to be the most bulkiest nappy ever! Freya couldn't even put her legs together it was so bulky and even now shes 1yr old its still the same (that is with using both inserts) but even when using the larger stage 2 insert it was still rather bulky. We ended up using this nappy for nights as one thing i can say that is fab about this nappy we never had any leaks its super absorbent when using both of the inserts, the larger insert is bamboo which unfolds out for easy washing and drying and that takes no time at all, infact i thought because of how quick the drying time was that that it wouldnt hold up to my monster wetter but hey it certainly did. The fabric is lovely and soft inside and out and i did get a nice fit on Freya apart from how wide and chunky it was.

Features of the new Wonderoo V2:

  • new trim, contoured cut
  • simple size adjustment
  • great fit from 8lb right through the weight range
  • improved fleece gusset for maximum comfort and air exchange and minimum leaking!
  • brand new anti-wicking outer shell
  • soft and s-t-r-e-t-c-h-y in all directions
  • unique three stage insert system (see below)
  • bamboo inserts unfold for efficient washing and fast drying
  • carbon footprint conscious (manufactured in Turkey and transported by road)
  • workers' pay and conditions are to government approved standards
The Wonderoo V2 is supplied complete with it's own unique 3 stage insert systemTM:
Stage 1: the small, contoured insert is made from three layers of microterry, and is soft and quick to absorb, ideal for small babies.

Stage 2: the large rectangular insert is made from six layers of soft, stretchy and fast-absorbing bamboo terry. Bamboo is an eco-friendly crop to grow and this fabric has been specially chosen to be highly absorbent and trim. Although bamboo is generally felt to be slow to dry, this insert unfolds for swift drying. It fastens together with snaps to make it easy to insert into the nappy and keep it neatly folded when in use.

Stage 3: the two inserts can be snapped together to provide super-absorbency for older babies, heavy wetters or for night time. There are two (coloured) snap positions, enabling you to put the booster/small insert where it is most required for your child, often to the front for boys (blue snap), and to the centre for girls (pink snap).
