I like the idea of these 'trimmer' nappies but am wondering if anyone has tried these and what they were like.
It would be a bit of a nuisance only being able to use swaddlebee inserts exclusively because they are tapered but other than this, are they a good nappy? Or can anyone recommend another type of 'trim' nappy. -------------

I haven't tried swaddlebee's so can't comment but I do find that Baby Harmony are a nice trim nappy. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  Was danni-chick Mum to James My Angel 28/07/08 |

Hi I find that the snazzipants AIO are a good trim nappy. I started a thread about trim nappies to get some other suggestions, I will bump it up for you ------------- Mum to Ella (5) and Tom (2) |

I've also heard that Itti Bitti's are really trim as they are also cut narrow in the crutch and sit low-waisted. They're an AIO with booster so the idea is that if it's only wet you can change the booster and keep the outer. Not sure how good they'd be at poo containment? I think Mother's Instinct are selling the minky version - Itti Bitti D'Lish (Australian).

I've only tried the Swaddlebees AIOs and they weren't the best. I agree with Danni-Chick about Baby Harmony being nice and trim, esp when you use the pocket inserts with them, Berry Plush aren't too bad either and work out as pretty good value if you buy the replacement inserts and just change the inserts when they're wet. -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

i used swaddlebees for quite some time when charli was young and loved them. they are definately the trimmest nappy i've used.....once she got bigger though (about 7-8mths) i found they leaked more. i also used them on jack but not for long as they were always leaking......so in short, great for little ones, but not so good on older kids.
baby harmony are my fave  ------------- http://www.alternatickers.com">
