'COMFORTABLE, EASY-TO-USE AND VERY ABSORBANT'
Strengths:
*Highly absorbant. The built-in booster pad is fantastic and can be folded for optimal absorbancy for either a boy or a girl, or folded out of the way completely if you don't want to use it or for when your baby is tiny and it may not be needed.
*The colours are cute and it almost seems a shame to cover then with a wrap!
*Easy to wash at 40 degrees with a non-biological powder.
Weaknesses:
*Drying times can be quite lengthy without a tumble dryer so extras may be needed to cover the time it takes to dry them (Do not place on a radiator to dry).
*In hard water areas, they can become "crunchy" but this can be relieved by adding a cup of vinegar to every 3rd wash cycle (but make sure you also put the machine on a rinse cycle to wash out any residue).
*The initial outlay can be quite high but they do offer fantastic value for money in the long run.
Overall:
Overall, I would highly recommend these nappies. I only wish I had used them with my first child too.

'GOOD NIGHTTIME NAPPY'
Strengths:
absorbent, comfy, easy to use, has extra booster layer
Weaknesses:
my husband didnt like using the nappy and separate wrap for daytime as a bit fiddly
Overall:
Good nappy, i know people who used as main nappy, i used for nighttime, i found the white ones more absorbent but smaller size than rainbow, so not as flexible.

'EASY TO USE, ABSORBANT, FUNCTIONAL AND SUPER CUTE COLOURS !'
Strengths:
Absorbant, very very absorbant!
They come in 3 sizes and either Aplix or Nippa fastening, meaning that even on a teeny baby you can ensure a snug fit to contain those explosive newborn poops! Although it is possible to use a size 2 Nippa nappy set from Birth to Potty.
They are extremely easy to use, and I found the transition from disposable to Tots Bots smooth and trouble free! The wraps are easy to use and adjustable.
What's more- they look super cute!
They are also one of the best value for money nappy systems available, (excluding flat nappies like Cotton Bottoms) you could go from birth to potty spending only £200 !
Weaknesses:
With great absorbancy comes great drying time ...!
Without a tumble drier Tots Bots can take up to 24 hours to dry.
Also they make for a 'chunky' bum on baby- meaning a lot of high street store's clothing won't fit over the extra bulk !
Overall:
I love these nappies! They are leading the revolution in Cloth Nappies!
By combining fun colours and groovy wraps with practical design they are a winner all round with me!
I would confidently use these fantastic nappies on any subsequent babies I have!
Even with the potential long drying time if you don't have a tumble drier- they are fantastic value for money.
