I first bought this nappy to try on Findlay when he was 5
weeks old. He is a long but very thin prem baby with a very low weight and so
it is difficult to find nappies to fit him. I was not expecting to be impressed
by this nappy as it only cost £4.99 but I am happy to admit that I was very
wrong.
When folded down the Diddy Diaper was a good fit on him and
fitted well around his very thin thighs and wasn’t too bulky. I could still fit
all his normal clothes over the top of the nappy with no problems. On a
‘normal’ size baby this nappy would be very trim fitting. The nippa fastening
gives excellent adjustability to the nappy and the arms are long meaning that I
can see it fitting Findlay for a long time making it even better value for
money. If you have a very well fitting wrap you don't even need a nippa as the
wrap will hold it in place (which is what I succesfully did to start with as I
forgot to order nippas when I ordered the nappy, oops)
I was so impatient to use it when it arrived that I used it
without prewashing and it still had excellent absorbency. The other day my OH
put an unboosted Diddy Diaper on Findlay before bed and whilst it wasdrenchedand
very heavy in the morning (after 9 hours) it hadn't leaked through his wool
shorties onto the bed. It even contains his explosive EBM poos!! The excellent
absorbency also makes it ideal for Daddies who can’t figure out boosters as it
is absorbent enough on it’s own.
The nappy has now been washed and line dried many times and
it is still beautifully soft against his skin.
It dries very quickly on the line and I have tumble dried it
once due to poor weather and it dried very quickly and fluffed up nicely with
no loss of shape. Being made of pure natural cotton it is excellent for
sensitive skin like Findlay's.
It may not be the worlds cutest nappy as it is very plain,
although I find it quite sweet, but it does what it is designed for and the
nappy gets hidden under a wrap anyway!
Out of the fitted nappies I have tried so far this is by far
the best fit, the most reliable and the one I always reach for first. The only
improvement to it I would make would be a fleece inner (but it's no great
hardship to put a fleece liner in) but other than that I cannot think of any
way I would want it to be changed.

I bought these as 'extra' nappies, the ones to bulk up my newbon stash and to
use when my pretties were all in the wash. When they arrived I thought meh, not
that exciting, and popped them right at the very bottom of my nappy pile, with
just the one going into my hospital bag as a 'back-up'. Well, my pretties didnt
fit my 9lb 6oz daughter
 so I had to use the DiddyDiaper and dh
brought the rest in for our hospital stay, and well, I changed my opinion
completely
These have proved really reliable nappies - the adjustability of the waist with
the nippa fastening means we get a greqt fit, and we have never had a leak -
even with bf poo! The stay dry liner leaves my daughters little bottom nice and
dry too
Absorbancy wise, these have been grand - ideal for
newborns, now at 5+ weeks we use them during the day and they last between
feeds which is sufficient. They wouldnt be suitable for overnight use, nor for
bigger babies really, but they have suited out needs perfectly
These arent fancy nappies, just plain, natural cotton terry, but they look
seriously cute when they are on - as a fan of 'fancy' nappies, Im surprised how
much I like them
The terry cotton gives a pretty slim fitting nappy that
dries really quickly - 24 hours on an airer, or fluff them up in the tumble
dryer for an hour.
These were my least expensive nappies and definately excellent value, and there
is a decent resale value too making them a really good buy. My only gripe is
that I didnt buy more as I would have been happy with these as our main
newborn/early days nappy.
