New Bamboozle S-T-R-E-T-C-H FAQ’s
Wednesday, January 27th, 2010Tots Bots have developed a brand new version of the ever popular Bamboozle fitted nappy, which is a revolution in fitted nappies. So heres a little heads up, and some FAQ’s on the nappy! Read on…
The new Stretchies are made from circular knitted bamboo with a hidden micro-fibre core delivering a soft, absorbent nappy that fits beautifully even on tiny newborns without compromising on performance. Yet because of the stretchiness, it fits the upper-weight ranges really well too and as you know this is often a challenge with B2P nappies. The knitted bamboo fabric stays soft longer than traditional bamboo terry and is great for babies with sensitive skin and for customers who live in hard water areas.
1) Will the original Bamboozle still be available?
Yes! For the time being anyway. For as long as the original is still popular, it will still be manufactured. Once feedback and sales show that the new Stretchy is taking over, then the original will be delisted.
2) What is the difference between the Stretchy and the Flexi-Tot?
In a nutshell, the Stretchy is our all natural bamboo two piece, the Flexi is our quick dry two piece.
3) How quickly will it dry?
Around 12 - 18 hours in a warm airing cupboard.
4) Is there a booster included?
Yes there is a pop in booster included for both size 1 and size 2.
5) Why would I buy the size 1 if size 2 is a birth to potty nappy?
The size 1 Stretchy is ideal for low birthweight babies as it will popper down to a really tiny 5lbs and not be up to baby’s armpits! It is more of a pre size nappy.
6) At what weight will I open out the popper settings?
There are no hard and fast rules here as it really depends on the shape and size of each baby. The most important thing to remember is the minimum and the maximum weight range…
Size 1 = 5lbs - 18lbs
Size 2 = 9lbs - 35lbs
7) When will the nappies by available?
The Bamboozle Stretch nappies are available to purchase now, as single stretch nappies , Stretch Mini-Kits and Stretch Multi-Packs .
Oh they look really soft!!
Just to say that I’ve been privileged to test one of these and have to say, it’s amazing and fantastic! Having tried hundreds of different cloth nappies over the past 4+ years (on my 3 children) this is the first time I’ve had a totally natural fibre nappy that stayed super soft with *only* line drying. And nearly 6 months later, that nappy is still lovely & soft and squishy - no hardness at all, and that’s with NO tumble drying. I can’t wait to be able to buy more of these, as they’re really lovely.
And as for how they work for heavy wetters, fantastic! My 9.5 month little boy would *totally* soak a HL Bedbug (expensive “special” night nappy) and after only *2* prewashes, the Stretchy lasted him 11 hours, no leaks, and half the nappy was still dry. Meaning he could have put a *lot* more in it. I’m totally sold on this nappy and think everyone else will love it too!
For sizing, even more impressive! My nearly 3yo son can fit in this nappy with ease - plenty of space for growing (if needed!), whereas the old style size 2 Bamboozles struggled to get around him. And because it’s so soft/stretchy/squishy, they fit small babies very well too - no big bulk between the legs!
Great to hear your feedback Rachel - that is the usual downside with natural fibre nappies- that they stiffen up with line-drying, but it is great that this one stays lovely and soft!
I am really looking forward to these. Tots are my all time favourite brand
