A one size pocket nappy with two microfiber inserts, I only have one of these but they're super cute!
Fit 3/5
I find these nappies come up very small. I cannot get one around BB's waist, well I possibly could squeeze him into one but the rise is incredibly low. Even on SB, he wear them with the rise fully unpoppered, whereas other one size poppers he tends to be on the middle or even smallest rise settings. They're great around his tiny waist though, and fit his chubby thighs too. There's no hip snaps on these though so if they aren't in the right place (which is frequently on my super wriggly baby) we can get a bit of wing droop.
Absorbency 4/5
Although they have a microfiber inner, they are surprisingly thirsty. The two inserts are adjustable depending on which rise setting you have them on, and snap together too. They have 5 layers of microfiber which makes them quite thick and chunky compared to other microfiber inserts I have. They last about 3 hours, 4 sometimes! When I adjust the rise poppers on the inserts I do pop the bulky bit at the back or it really gapes around his tummy.
Containment 5/5
These nappies have a different sort of double gusset to most of the other I have, The fleece inside is gathered to make a gusset, and it is great for poo-catching.
Ease of use 4/5
Once you get your head around the multiple poppers on the inserts, these are a nice simple pocket nappy to use. Once stuffed, they're nice and easy nursery nappies.
Drying time 4/5
The microfiber inserts are slightly thicker than others, still quick drying but a little slower than some of our others.
Overall 4/5
These are brilliant nappies for smaller babies. They really contour to tiny bottoms and the double gusset is fantastic for runny breastfed poo. The fleecy inner is lovely and thick, and the inserts are quite thirsty, plus it comes in cute patterns!

Bumgenius V4 Review
These are pocket nappies from Bumgenius, I have two of them in Ribbit and Albert patterns, I fancy a few more though as I've recently found love for them! I have the popper version as I bought them once BB had already worked out how to undo velcro.
Fit - 4/5
Okay, so I can still fit these nappies on my 35lb rather large 2 year old as well as my fairly dinky 11 month old babe. SB is still on the middle rise poppers so he's got a long time left in them and BB is on the second to last poppers (although he rarely wears a nappy, these are one of the only ones that still fit) They wouldn't be my first choice for a dinky baby, they didn't fit SB until he was 3 months and they are quite wide between the legs so are quite bulky on a younger one. On an older babe though, they're perfect. The only thing is the lack of a hip snap means that sometimes we get 'hip-droop' which annoys the hell out of me. Also, the bigger of the two inserts (There's two, a newborn insert and the main one. Although I wouldn't advise just using the newborn insert, it wouldn't last long!) has a rise popper on if you have the outer snapped down - this is lovely but makes one end of the insert really bulky, and I have to put the bulky bit at the back or we get major tummy gape.
Absorbency - 3/5
These are microfibre inserts, so they're never going to be the most absorbent nappies, but they are good. BB and microfibre don't go well, so they don't last very long on him at all but SB gets about 3 hours out of them.
Containment - 2/5
No double gusset. No secondary poo catcher. Have had a number of stained vests for a Bumgenius poo. However, there is a flap at the top for the inserts which does catch the up the back bit!
Ease of use - 5/5
These are a brilliant nursery/daddy nappy. I stuff them as soon as they're dry, snap them onto the middle rise for SB before putting them away and all they have to do is put them on! Two poppers on each side, and boom, you're done.
Drying time - 5/5
Microfibre inserts = quick drying, perfect for winter.
Overall - 4/5
Lovely nappies. They fit well, they're easy to use, quick drying and come in cute colours. They're great for my nursery bag and one of the first nappy that DB picks out to put on the baby.
