Bambineo nappies
(formerly called Wham Bamboo)
Shaped, multi-sized bamboo terry nappy. Price from £8.50 *5%
discount when you order 10 or more Bambineo nappies*
Bamboo is a very 'green' crop as it has a very short growth cycle and
is easily cultivated without the use of chemical pesticides. (Click
for more information on why choose eco-friendly
fibres.) Bamboo terry is very soft, feeling just like silk against
the skin when new. This silky texture is lost a little through washing,
but the fabric remains soft compared with cotton terry. Bamboo terry
also has natural antibacterial properties and is
more absorbent than cotton terry.
Bambineo
nappies are made from two full layers of bamboo terry with additional
absorbency between the legs, where it is needed most. The nappy comes
complete with an additional three-layer booster which is not attached
to the nappy so can be placed where required or not used if the nappy
needs to made to be made trimmer for smaller babies. The nappy is reasonably
high in the rise so suitable for taller toddlers and the 'wings' can
be crossed over at the front for slimmer waists. It has elastic around
the legs and at the back to give a snug fit and prevent leaks.
An outer wrap will be required with this nappy
(see below for suggestions).
Sizing
Bambineos are available in two sizes. The approximate weight guidelines
for the sizes are:
Size 1 8lb - 18lb
(3.6Kg - 8.2Kg)
Size 2 18lb - 35lb (8.2Kg - 15.9Kg)
Bambineos can be used either as a multi-sized nappy or the size
2 nappy nippa version can be used as a birth to potty nappy (see below).
Options
Bambineo nappies are available in natural cream colour in Size 1. In
Size 2 they are available in cream, soft blue, soft pink or soft green.
They are available with either a hook and loop fastening (like Velcro)
of with no fastening so that a nappy nippa can be used. The front of
the size 2 nippa-fastening nappy can be folded down to make the nappy
fit from approximately 10lb (4.5Kg), giving a 'birth to potty' option
that will fit many babies from birth through to potty training.
Advantages & disadvantages compared
with other shaped nappies
A slim and absorbent nappy with the advantages of bamboo terry fabric:
natural antibacterial properties, eco-friendly fabric, stays softer
than cotton or hemp in hard water areas or with repeated washing. Bambineo
nappies take a relatively long time to dry.
What else will I need? With this
nappy you may choose to use flushable
or fleece liners to make solid waste disposal easier and reduce
soiling of the nappy. If you choose the nappi nippa fastening version
of this nappy you will need Nappi
Nippas. You will need boosters for overnight and possibly as your
baby gets bigger wets more heavily. Any of our boosters
are suitable. You will need a waterproof outer cover/wrap
with this nappy.
Suggested wraps The Tots
Bots PUL wraps fit well, as do the Tots
Bots fleece wraps, which we recommend for night time. Others that
will work well are the Mother-ease Rikki
or Air Flow and Nature
Babies Classic Covers.
Resale value Relatively new nappy
so unknown.
