Baby BeeHinds
Fantastic Nappies! Favorite ones by far – I’ve been using only Baby Beehinds for a month now. Before then I was using Bare and Boho and some used baby beehinds I got second hand. I preferred… Read more
much more the second hand baby beehinds, so I went on a splurge and bought a lot of brand new bamboo multi fit, hemp multi fit and some magic all in twos.
These nappies are incredibly absorbent! For the brand new ones I bought, I did soak them overnight and washed them 4x as recommended before using them on baby. This method of prepping nappies when you buy them brand new works wonderfully. Our baby girl wears them for about 3h almost every time before we have to change her (unless she poops, obviously). She is now 14mo, and is a HEAVY wetter. That’s how I know the absorbency from BBH nappies is amazing. Compared to other brands I tried a while ago, these ones are the best.
Also, with more washes they get even more absorbent. If you don’t prep the nappies the way I did when I bought them brand new, you may have to change your baby frequently until you have done about 10 washes…
Tone thing to consider: they’re quite bulky, mostly because I use both inserts that come with the nappies (bamboo multi fit, hemp and magic all in twos). If I want something slim on her I use Bare and Boho but she tends to leak almost any time she wears them, so I change her every 2h max.
The bamboo and hemp ones are very breathable, which is great for the skin. At home we don’t use a cover on these nappies unless she’s napping. I also like that without a cover I can feel when the outside of the Nappy is wet, so I know it’s time to change without having to inspect the inside.
I’ve only been using them during summer so I don’t know how well they dry during cold or wet months. They dry super quickly as we get lots of sun in our backyard. I line fry them around 7:30am and by 3pm they’re almost entirely dry. I put them in the dryer for about 30mins with wool balls to fluff them out :) no problems with washing/drying whatsoever.
Positive FTM MCN experience – I am a FTM new to cloth. We were recommended the baby beehinds Magic-Alls All-in-One by a friend and purchase a part time pack. Our son is 11 days… Read more
old and has fit into the small size AIO from day 3. We initially had some slight issues with leaks, however with some adjustment to the fit we have had great success. I love that the nappies come with additional inserts, which I have been able to lay flat on the nappy to save washing the nappy each time (for wees that don't wet through to the main layer). Velcro closures are working really well for us at this stage as I have experienced carpal tunnel in pregnancy, and find these much easier than snappies. Much better fit on newborn than OFSM.
Advantages: Great gateway to cloth, simple to use Disadvantages: Drying time between 8-72 hours depending on weather
Finally no leaks! – Love this night nappy! We get 12+ hrs out of these nappies with our 13month old. We started using when bub was 5months. They are a bit bulky but as… Read more
bub gets older they fit better.
We use with a bbh wool cover (lanolised).
Bub would normally leak through disposable and have tried other nappies boosted.
Doesn’t do the job – These nappies are very bulky and don’t look like they fit properly because they are so thick. My son always needs bigger clothes on to fit over the… Read more
top and he seems to be restricted in movement of his legs.
I couldn’t even use these nappies until he was at least 8weeks old because they are so bulky.
I have to do them up very tight or they leak, but then they cut into his skin a lot and look uncomfortable.
They are not very absorbant compared to other reusable nappies, even if I use the booster.
The boosters take a long time to dry.
Tricky to get the boosters to sit right inside the pocket when the nappy has been snapped to the smaller size.
They are very expensive for the quality.
Ok but don't leave on for too long – I like these, they feel sturdy and fit well but I just find that they tend to leak around the leg lining. I don't leave them on too long and they… Read more
aren't suitable for covering a night nappy. I liked them for a NB but found the lack of a double gusset meant more leaks.
Not good! – too complicated to care for this wool cover. I just bought it, and washed it before putting it on my baby. but because the instructions are not… Read more
allowed to go into the dryer, and I forgot that. I think the product is broken now. I want a product that is easy to care for because caring for a baby who needs 100% attention is very complicated if you have to remember how to take care of this wool cover
Couldn’t be happier. Grabbed 24x of the hemp nappies at 30% off per nappy ($24.5 after discount). Got 2x wool covers also 30% off (part of natural… Read more
nappy bundle sale @ $205.80, lanolin (also part of bundle), and the hemp boosters (4x at $18.40 each). I got some wool covers off of FB too for the other sizes. Easy to lanolize. I have not had any leaks with the wool cover and hemp nappies, but my boy is only 6 weeks currently. This may change when he gets older and he pees more. Hoping that the hemp boosters take care of this, but as of yet, I haven’t had to use the hemp booster yet. Shipping was quick. Everything as described. Happy to be using 100% natural fibers with no polyester. Only issue is that the nappies dry like cardboard when line drying. If you rub the nappies together, they get soft though. I also throw them in the dryer for 10-20 min on the delicate and or refresh cycle (low heat) with dryer balls. Definitely helps. But the rubbing is the best way I have found so far. A bit worried that all the rubbing will damage the fivers overtime to flatten them out. Only time will tell if the nappies can continue to retain the softness. I got 7x hemp nappies from FB secondhand, but they are not at all as soft as the new ones. They look slightly different though, so there may have been a product change / supplier change that improved upon the old product (I also don’t use any fabric softener)
Got a free mini wet bag and a free swim nappy as well. Subscribed to their newsletters months in advance and was able to get some discount codes for the freebies.
Purchases during Black Friday sale.
Excellent night nappy! – I bought some of these second hand to use at night as my daytime MCNs were leaking when bubby slept through the night. I use them with the BBH PUL… Read more
covers. They are great! Soaked through plus number two and no leaks. Fit my small 4 month old well (if a bit bulky), with plenty of room to expand as he grows.
+ Very absorbent, no leaks at night with BBH cover
- A bit bulky, would not use on a small baby during the day; feels stiff compared to microfleece MCNs.
Thanks for your review Meita, and yes caring for… Read more
