Totsbots Easyfit V2 - Review
Wednesday, August 11th, 2010The long awaited Totsbots Easyfit v2 has finally arrived in a gorgeous array of prints. Flying off of the shelves as I type, these nappies are selling fast and for lots of very good reasons. Read on to find out why these nappies are a perfect fit…

Ease of use: 5/5
Value for money: 4/5
Totsbots Easyfit V2s are a One Size Fits Most (OSFM), All in One (AIO) cloth nappy with a bamboo/microfibre inner, waterproof polyurethanelaminate (PUL) outer and an aplix fastening.
I was very excited when this nappy arrived on my doorstep, I had been hearing so many great things that I just had to have one. So excited was I that I didn’t even bother to prewash it before popping it onto my daughter for a little test. When I decided it was probably best to change her around 3 hours later I was amazed to find that it hadn’t leaked, though the soaker was saturated. So, into the wash it went and again, and again until it was ready for a proper trial!
One of the first things I noticed about this nappy was what a trim and comfortable fit it is. Not one for aplix I had been wary of trying it out once again but I was pleasantly surprised by the great fit it allowed and also how well it has held up after several weeks of washing. My daughter has just started crawling so this nappy got a big thumbs up from me as it is such a trim fit that it doesn’t inhibit her crawling movements like some of her bulkier nappies tend to do.
The absorbency is a little hit and miss, while it has never leaked I suspect this is down to a clever design rather than true absorbency as the inner has always been saturated after around 3 hours. However a great little feature of this nappy is that it also has a generous sized pocket which allows you to stuff the nappy with inserts as required. And, while this adds to the bulkiness somewhat, I found that a few trim microfibre boosters made a world of difference to the absorbency level and little difference to the size of the nappy.
The nappy couldn’t be easier to use, as an AIO it is also very easy to wash and dry with respectable drying times of around 2-3 hours on a washing line and overnight on an airer.
This is a very neat and tidy nappy. The aplix/hook and loop fastening mechanism still looks as good as new and attracts very little thanks to the well sized laundry labs and the overall look of the nappy is very eye catching, with such a great variety of prints.
These are perfect daytime nappies, for all shapes, sizes and absorbency levels. At around £18 each, they’re not cheap but they are definitely worth the money as they suit such a broad variety of baby shapes and needs, this truly is a one size fits most!

Absolutely LOVE these nappies too, they are our favourites in our stash at the minute- great fit, lovely materials, reliable, and pretty quick drying for an AIO! Perfect!
I love how slim and neat this nappy is. It feels so lovely to touch and I’m sure is really comfortable to wear. I like how it is not bulky under leggings and tights and is great on my 13 month old toddler.
I agree with you on the absorbency issue. I’ve had a few leaks so now pop a bit of extra stuffing in to help it out. If you use a slim soaker, I don’t find it makes much difference to it’s fit and appearance. Plus, they are so darn cute!!!
I love the feel of these, lovely. My one down side is the rise poppers on the front. As there’s only two across we end up with a lot of bulk sticking out at the front where a third popper in the middle would solve this.
I LOVE these nappies- the PUL is much more flexible than the V1, my LO is learning to crawl and these are my nappies of choice for her. Easy to wash and use, dried very quick on a radiator too. 5* from me!
I’ve been wanting to try these thanks for the detailed review!
I did have the version 1 and had to contact Tots Bots with a complaint of them leaking all the time.They replaced the birth to potty nappies with the version 2 white ones. I must say it is like night and day with these, they hold everything in, use them overnight and also when we are out.The version 2 is a huge improvement. I just wish I complained sooner! Tots Bots after sales service is brilliant, I utterly recommend these nappies. I did wash them 8 to 10 times before to get maximum absorbency with Potion. A very good nappy. One happy mother and baby!!!
The Easyfit V2 nappies have definitely been a great addition to my stash. I love the super silky outer and overall trimness of the nappy. The only downside is that I do sometimes tend to get a bit of wing droop if baby has been particularly wriggly! However the trimness, absorbency and ease of use definitely outweighs this
