| I have some Totbots bamboozles and love them, wish I had more. I bought them second hand of trademe, they are now well used but so absorbent (most absorbent nappy I've tried). They are also great as a night nappy if you ad an extra booster. I put a small prefold in and they last for 13-14 hours. DD is 13 months. |

I have 1 flexi tot and cover and an easy fit.
Honestly I wouldn't buy any more because they don't fit DD properly. The Flexitot is the better of the 2 because I can use the cover to get the fit right but is a bit bulky so I use it at night only. The easy fit I can never get right around the legs no matter what setting I use. However apart from the fit the are a great nappy. I would get 1 to try as you might find they fit your bub better than mine! ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

I've only ever used bamboozles (applix/velcro), they are awesome with a PUL wrap for the day and maybe a booster or two & fleece wrap at night (they do make DS's willy red if used at night so we dont do that often).
Tots Bots are releasing a new bamboozle with stretch which means the size 2 will easily last up to TT. At 17kgs I had to buy a bunch of size 3s for DS but they are soooooooo soft and snuggly that I dont mind really, but the person I got them off said the size 3s are being discontinued due to the new super stretchy bamboozles. Easily go 3 - 4 hrs, maybe even longer but I didnt like to leave it on that long. Motherease wraps are very good but any good PUL wrap should be okay. I'm not a huge fan of the Tots wraps with the aplix, much prefer a series of poppers at waist and leg. We went straight into size 2s at 5mths, will buy some size ones for new baby in the future. There seem to be more mixed reviews about the tots AIO / OSFA type nappies like the flexitots etc but usually glowing reviews of the bamboozles, the applix means you get a great fit. -------------

I've got 4 flexitot sz 1 and 2 flexitot sz 2.
I use them mainly for the night and they're great. I stuff them heaps to keep Nina's legs apart more than needing the absorption. It's very good for her hips (hip dysplasia) to be wide apart so I'm happy with that. I find they're a great fit around the legs. Nina has SUPER CHUBBY legs and they fit better than most other nappies (ittis i.e.) and don't cut off her blood supply to the legs 
I don't like their wraps tho! I sold mine nearly unused on TM as they're just not a great fit at all! I use Bummis Whisper or Super Bright and they're a fabulous fit over the flexitot. They're very good for heavy wetters as you can stuff them nicely. No leaks here from them after 13-14 hours!! Definitely recommend them and will get a few more sz 2 ones soon. |

| I use Bummis wraps too, love the superbrite ones. I haven't tried Totbots wraps, don't really like the look of them, not soft enough around the legs. |

I used Bamboozles and they are awesome with the Bummis wraps and I have 5 cotton tots but they don't sell these anymore.
I have heard good things about the Flexitots though. If you're looking at fitteds with a cover check out Lilltelamb.co.nz they do really good deals on birth to potty packs. |

We have the flexitots and I love love love them! They do last for 3 - 4 hours easily, and contain explosions pretty well. I have tried 3 diff covers with them - the tots bots one, kushies and bummis and I find that the flexi tots works best for us. I hate poppers though!
They are ok for night, I have a heavy wetter who generally sleeps 7pm-7am, so I pop in a booster and a prefold as well. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

Hi I have flexitots, bamboozles and pockets.
I find the pockets the best with 2 x bamboo inserts in. I do have a couple of the terry cotton booster though from tots bots and they are even better for absorbancy. the flexitots are ok and I use with a super brite cover. but my baby has skinny legs so they leak a little. The bamboozle is pretty good too, but I find the poppers a bit or a pain. I think it is overall less absorbant than the flexitot or pocket, but doesnt seem to leak so readily as it is aborbant right to the edges. I will use all of them for night use, but I use the pockets the most ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/2920e5" rel="nofollow - My Ovulation Chart |
