'Nappies by Minki' - Minki pocket nappies
Stay-dry, multi-sized pocket nappy. Price from £9.99
A cuddly pocket nappy available in a range of attractive patterns - ideal for showing off that cloth bottom! These nappies have a stay-dry fleece inner layer next to baby's skin and a waterproof, breathable PUL layer to keep wetness inside but allow some air exchange. This forms a pocket into which an absorbent pad (pocket nappy insert) is placed to soak up the wetness and trap it inside the nappy, away from baby's skin. On the outside is a layer of fleece to make the nappy cuddly and fun. The fleece outer layer also makes the nappy more resistant to wetness wicking through through to clothing , making this a good pocket nappy for night time.

As with all PUL/fleece pocket nappies these dry quickly, and the absorbency can be easily adjusted to suit the child and the occasion, making them a very versatlie nappy. They fasten with Aplix (like Velcro) making them quick and easy to put on, so ideal for when out and about or for those not familiar with cloth nappies.

There are two styles of Minki pocket nappies.
Standard Minki (below) The Standard Minki is generously cut, making it high in the rise (i.e. it comes up high on the waist), the waist tabs overlap giving a wide range of width settings and allows for more absorbency to be put inside the pocket. These features make this style particularly suitable for chunky babies, heavy wetters and for a night time pocket nappy.

Slinki Minki (right) The Slink Minki gives a trimmer fit. It is lower in the rise, slimmer across the bottom and the waist tabs meet in the middle rather than crossing over, making the nappy less bulky at the waist. This nappy is more suitable for daytime use, for slimmer babies and toddlers or for when you might want a trimmer nappy (e.g. playtimes).

Summary information
An attractive, easy to use pocket nappy.
Advantages and disadvantages of Minkis over other pocket nappies: Quick and easy to fasten with Aplix tabs and good adjustability at the waist. Takes very slightly longer than other pocket nappies to dry but still dries very quickly. The thick fleece outer layer makes Minkis less trim fitting than PUL outer pocket nappies, but very cute and cuddly looking, and more resistant to wicking. The Standard Minki is an excellent night time pocket nappy. The longer pile fleece inner is slightly more prone to staining than other pockets nappies. The elastic can be a little unyielding but makes for good containment. Multisized so you will need to purchase several sizes as you baby grows.
What else will I need? No liners or waterproof wraps are needed with these nappies, but you will need pocket nappy inserts.
Suggested inserts Mother of Eden microterry inserts & Wonder-Fulls inserts both work well.
Re-sale value Very good.
Care Wash inside out with the Aplix fastened at 40 or 60ºC and hang to dry (or tumble dry on low heat). Do not use greasy rash cream. For more details click here.
