One-Size Nappies or Sized Nappies- which is better?!
One-Size Nappies Vs Sized Nappies
One-Size (or Birth-to-Potty Nappies) are growing increasing popular for many reasons.
One-Size nappies are designed to grow with your baby to take them right through birth to potty training, whereas sized nappies need to be purchased in different sizes, such as small, medium, large or Size 1 and Size 2.
As with anything, there are pro’s and con’s to the One-Size nappies, as well as the sized nappies and here we examine these differences.
One-Size Nappies
Some examples of One-Size Nappies include the bumGenius, Blueberry One-Size and the Motherease One-Size.
The Pro’s of One-Size Nappies are:
- More ecomonical, as you only need by one set of nappies which will last through infancy
- Less storage required for nappies that no longer fit
- Great if you have more than one child in nappies, as the same nappy will fit both children
Con’s of One-Size Nappies
- Because of exended use, the nappies will wear more quickly and may eventually need replacing
- A perfect fit is more difficult to achieve
- May be bulky on newborns and very small infants
Sized Nappies
Some examples of sized nappies include Tots Bots Flexi-Tots, Fuzzi Bunz and Tots Wraps.
Pro’s of Sized Nappies
- A greater variety in your ‘Nappy Stash’ - you have more freedom to mix ‘n’ match
- Sized nappies will be in a better condition to use for subsequent children, as they wont have had as much wear
- A better fit can be obtained on very young babies and larger toddlers with sized nappies
Con’s of Sized Nappies
- Will often cost more, as larger sizes will need to be purchased
- If you have more than one child of different ages in nappies, different nappies will need to be use for each
Many parents will opt to buy 2/3 of their nappy stashes as one-size, and the remainder as sized, allowing them to take advantage of the positive aspects of both types. You will find what works best for you, and your stash will develop accordingly- everyones nappy collection is unique, which makes it all the more fun!
