Tots Bots Easyfit v2 Review

Okay so I figured it was time to start reviewing my vast collection of cloth... I know I'm a relative newbie, I clothed BB from 14 months, and SB from 2 weeks, but I've tried a fair few types of nappies, plus I help out at our local nappy library - does that qualify me??

Tots Bots Easyfit v2

Fit - 4/5
These fit both my long skinny toddler and my chubby baby. They're quite chunky poppered down on a diddy baby, which makes for huge bottoms but I find that quite cute ;). Admittedly, whilst they do fit BB (Who is a 30lb 21 month old) they're getting a bit tight but they still go on comfortably, and cover his tush nicely. The rise is still poppered on the smallest setting on SB (16lb 4 month old), but he's' starting to get a builder's bum so i guess it's time to change ;)

Absorbancy 3/5
So I have two heavy wetting boys. They pee like racehorses. I can get two hours out of an unboosted Easyfit on BB but for us, they are useless for naptime as he drinks milk before he sleeps and wakes up soaked. However, during the day, I tend to pop a bamboo booster in an they last three hours :). SB also gets about 2-3 hours.

Containment 5/5
Have had no issues with my Easyfits containing, the flap at the back catches the most explosive of poos, and despite the lack of a second gusset there haven't been any accidents :) 

Ease of use 5/5
 These get full 'dad-proof' marks. I wash all nappies, and stuff when dried, which simply consists of folding the insert in half and stuffing it in the pocket, therefore all DB has to do is velcro it onto one of the Bears. Simples.

Drying Time 3/5
Once wash I throw them in the tumble drier on low for 20 mins, naughty I  know. But with two in cloth and endless loads of washing to do it's the only way I don't end up running out of nappies! Bamboo does have a longer drying time than microfibre, so hanging over my radiator airers has them dry in a day and a half-ish.

Overall 4/5
So they're not the most absorbant nappies, but they are easy to put on so brilliant for daddies/childminer/nursery, they're not bulky so they fit well under clothes and don't take up too much room in your changing bag, and they come in cute patterns! They are easy to boost too so you can adjust them to your LO's needs.
