Easy to use, great quality and fun designs!

published

I came late to using cloth nappies - as a first time mum, even getting my head around something as easy as poppers seemed a challenge. But now 12 months after my first born arrived I started using the Hippibottomus starter pack and have since ordered a second starter pack to bulk out my MCN use! I'd say we use 2/3 MCN and 1/3 eco disposables but am loving the ease of use and fun designs. Only a handful of overnight leak issues but otherwise no problems whatsoever. Have washed well so far. Would definitely recommend this product!

Love these nappies!

published

Just can't get enough of these nappies. I am very impressed with how simple they are to use. The quality and design is wonderful! I have embarked on a chemical free journey and these are just perfect! I am bamboo crazy too soo i am sold on Hippybottomus MCN. Very happy with the speedy friendly replies. Love that this is a local company. My daughter has been solely wearing these since she was 3 weeks old. I highly recommend these to all my friends. They just love the designs on my beautiful baby and always comment how awesome they look!
Thank you Hippybottomus ❤

Fantastic product and great company to deal with.

published

I have tried several different types of MCN and find these work super well, seem comfortable and dry fast which is a bonus in winter. Had a minor cosmetic issue with fading on a few of them and the company responded very quickly, easily and generously. The fitting buttons are easy and means one size will cover most.

love Hippybottomus

published

Easy to use, clean, not having to deal with nappy rash! When she was a newborn they where a bit bulky but by 8 weeks no issues. My baby gets terrible nappy rash with disposables however not a problem with hippybottomus! A trick I use for washing in the front loader is using the prewash setting and a rinse plus. They come out perfectly clean, no smells. As a suggestion because I am a dedicated hippy fan, it would be good for hippy to develop a hybrid liner... so a disposable one that allow you to reuse the nappy cover majority of the time when out and about or when travelling and you don't have ability to wash nappies. The price of the nappy system is affordable and the quality is fantastic so both thumbs up.

My baby and I love our Hippybottomus

published

Quite simply they're super! My fears about using cloth nappies (too much work, nappy rash, too complicated, too exy) werent warranted. This is nothing like our parents used back when we were bubs! They're easy to use with little buttons to adjust to size, they dont leak, they dont cause nappy rash, I simply throw them in the wash (no soaking necessary!) Plus they are super cute for summer weather! I cant stop raving about them!

So happy with my purchase

published

I have been using these nappies for 6 months now and I have nothing but praise for them. The nappies wash and wear so well and my little girl has had few leakage problems. I would buy these over and over again. They are very easy to put together and even Poppy can use them with ease when he looks after bubba.

Brilliant Nappies

published

These nappies tick all of the boxes! I have tried a variety of other brands and none come close to Hippybottomus. You will thank yourself for making the switch from disposable nappies and wonder why you didn't do it sooner. The financial and environmental benefits are nothing compared to the comfort that your bub will feel wearing these nappies.

Nonno loves the press studs!

I look after my grandson during the week and these nappies are easy to use and effective. I also like the fact that they are environmentally friendly. They remind me of the old-school cloth nappies; one reason we chose them.
Easy to clean, quick-drying and economical. have used them since day one.

Can't wait to buy more!

published

I can't fault Hippybottomus! The MCN's are awesome! Very simple and easy to use, the bamboo insert dries super quickly and is quite absorbent, so my little girl doesn't have to feel the wetness in her nappy. The patterns are super cute and very hard to decide between!
Hippybottomus were very quick in responding to my questions and were very helpful. I loved corresponding with them as they've made my MCN journey just that little bit more easier, exciting and fun!
I would recommend Hippy's to anyone and can't wait to make some more purchases!

Love my hippy's!

published

I absolutely love how easy these are to use and to wash. The only thing I can fault is the inserts are far too wide for newborns. However we are improvising until he is big enough to wear them.. Hopefully you will bring out more designs so I can add to my stash!

Love it!!

I was hesitant about using cloth nappies and the extra work involved, but once i started using Hippybottomus it was so simple and they offer lots of tips for cleaning and getting the most out of the nappies. I have now ordered more nappies and I love how they are so much cuter than disposables!!

So glad we took the plunge!

published

We decided to use cloth nappies for the environmental & financial benefits.
We did a lot of online research before choosing Hippybottomus, as they had received amazing reviews online.
We had the greatest experience using them for our son from 2weeks old, until he started daycare at 1yr old.
We bought the 'nappy stash' and it was perfect, everything we needed. The nappies work great, look great & the cleaning was easy to manage. I preferred washing nappies than having to buy big bulky packets of disposables with a newborn in a pram.
We just bought some new colours to add to our original stash, for our brand new baby girl. We look forward to using them now that she is 2weeks old.

Even better second time round.

published

I used hippybottomus nappies 5 years ago with my first son and loved them. 5 years on I am using them again and am pleased to say the quality has gotten even better. The new mixture for the inserts keeps my little boy dry and rash free. Love that I am doing something good for the earth, my boy and of course my hip pocket. Love the funky new patterns too!

Better than disposables!

published

I bought/ was given a couple of different types of cloth nappies, but these are the best. They are easy to use and wash and save us $$$. They are the most affordable of the MCN's I have come across without compromising on quality. My only qualm is that I wish Hippybottomus would publish a list of Australian washing detergent brands which are best to use with them, rather than just recommending their own soap nuts.

Love them!

I was worried that MCNs would be too much work but they are not!! Love my hippys - so easy to wash and put together and they don't stain if you hang them in the sun! Awesome designs. Super fast shipping and great customer service. New swim nappies too, in time for summer.

Great reuseable nappies

published

These nappies are fantastic. Have been using since my daughter was 10 weeks old. Currently we are using them with a hip spica (cast) - they fit perfectly over the disposable nappy we tuck in first, thanks to the many snaps on them! Can't wait to use the properly again once the cast comes off.

Great nappies and customer service!

published

Have been using these nappies since bub was 3 weeks old. They are easy to use and clean! Also we have found they are much better than disposables in terms of poo, less likely to have a poo explosion! We use disposables over night and on occasion when we are out or traveling but otherwise prefer these!
Customer service is great, has a small problem. With one of the patterns of nappy we had, was replaced immediately!
Would recommend (and have) to anyone considering cloth nappies!

Great product. Excellent customer service.

published

I'm been using these nappies full time for the past 2.5 years and they are still going strong. The original designs are a little faded from lots of time in the sun but still work perfectly. Great value for money! We have just purchased some more for our 2nd baby.

I had to return some training pants because they were too big for my daughter and the customer service was fantastic. They were exchanged for the correct size promptly.

Return customer for a reason!

Fantastic nappies.
I recommend them allllll the time! Used them with daughter #1 and now back again with daughter #2
I don't think they are extra work. It takes very very minimal time to wash & put them together. Anything to have my babies in a safe, environmentally friendly, cute nappy. Can't recommend them enough. #makelaundrynotlandfill

Excellent nappies

published

These nappies are excellent. Both my children have sensitive skin and struggled with rashes from other cloth nappies but these wick away moisture and are quick and easy to wash and dry (drying time is super quick). Absorbency is great without being too bulky and lots of lovely patterns to pick from as well as being cost effective. Would highly recommend these as an economical option as you get use out of them, they are effective and pay themselves off against the cost of disposables in less than 2 months.

I was a sceptic, now i've converted!

published

I don't use them 100% of the time just a few times a day. They are fantastic. They fit well and look so cute on. I've saved loads of money and they clean up really well. Really happy with this product. Was wondering if these would suffice as a swim nappy at the beach?

Great value for money but don't buy the white nappies

published

Great nappy, and is easy to use. I however have found that every time I put the White nappies on my son they leak but not with any of the others. I placed them side to side and the make of the White nappy is a bit bigger!! Apart from that they are great, easy to clean and are quick drying.
