Baby Bare The Bare Cub

An amazing nappy for a great price – I was wary, like many, of purchasing my nappies online. So many companies have CC nappies and pass them off as handmade or their own brand. I assumed the same with baby bare. Imagine my surprise when I heard that not only were they one of the cheapest nappies. But they were someone's company and not just a CC with an overpriced tag. I had a… Read more

stash of an entire other brand ready to go for my sons birth. Only to see a sale and decide to buy 2 x AIO nappies.

They arrived and the quality exceeded those of my brand new 'other branded' stash!

As I could before his birth I purchased more here and there and sold off the other brand.

At his birth I had a stash of nappies in newborn (that he wore while his umbilical cord was attached) before I moved to baby bares.

I was afraid of the bulkiness on a tiny newborn. But it really wasn't that bad and it even fixed the issue we had of leaking (he was a heavy wetter).

Now at 9 weeks we use only baby bare nappies. I would use these again, I would buy these again, I would recommend these to everyone!

Love our Baby Bares! – I love love love Baby Bares! We have all older versions. This was the first brand of nappy I bought that wasn't patterned (I have a bit of an obsession with prints / patterns, and refused to buy plain colours) - bought the Burnt Orange on sale & now have added another 4 to my stash (still my only plains!). I love the trimness, love the snap ins &… Read more

the other day I accidentally went 6hrs without changing bub (mother of the year) without a leak (but a very, very heavy nappy). Has managed a few rather explosive poo-plosions without issue. It hasn't worked at night for us, but we might try it again with some extra extra boosting. Dries quickly (I turn it inside out so the microfibre dries faster). Minky is going slightly stiff, but I think this is better now that I'm turning them inside out when drying in the sun. It sounds a bit crinkly when coming off the line, but this may be because I'm leaving it out in the sun for too long. New patterns are gorgeous, excellent fit, trim, absorbent Minky a little stiff now, and crinkly lamination.

Affordable and excellent nappies – My daughter has been in cloth nappies full time for a month now and I'm so glad we decided to go with the baby bare, bare cub nappy. After doing a lot of research, and trying another more expensive and well reviewed nappy, the bare cub I found was just so much better and more affordable. We initially bought the bare essentials pack and after a few… Read more

weeks of using them, I was convinced we should go full time with them.

The Bare cub is trim, the minky is super soft, the colours are great and replacing the snap-in inserts is easy. The absorbency of the inserts is great, though my daughter isn't a heavy wetter. They fit really well even though my daughter has quite chunky legs. She uses the nappy at night too with the booster in the pocket and she usually goes about 12 hours with no leaks. Her poo-splosions are also well contained in the nappy. They're easy to wash, even bad stains come out with a few hours in the sun. The shells are quick to dry and though the inserts take longer it's not really an issue. The customer service is excellent, [name removed] is very prompt in answering any questions. Easy to use, affordable, great fit and absorbency Some shells have started pilling on the inside and a few inserts have started fraying, but it hasn't affected the use.

By far the best cloth nappies we've used – We've been using cloth nappies for a year now and have tried several brands (econaps, bubblebub, bare and boho), but the baby bare bear cub AI2 is by far the best. They fit fantastically, are well made and we've had very few leaks. Plus they come in a huge range of gorgeous patterns. I would highly recommend these to anyone looking to start using cloth. Show details

Great quality – We ordered the reusable wipes, which have been fabulous. Perfect size. And we recently bought 2 hats, and I have to say I'm really impressed. The look better than the Toshi brand. Our babies 10 months and we bought medium expecting her to grow into them, plus she's a bit big honestly, even too big they fit okay enough to wear now. Will buy more hats down the track and matching shirts! Show details

Excellent! Couldn’t be happier – Baby Baer nappies have worked so well for us. We have been using them exclusively for 8 months. They have been through our washing machine almost every day, or every second day and they look better than when they arrive in the post. An excellent product. If you follow there basic care instructions you will not be disappointed. I also found their customer service to be very helpful.

Okay, not great – I brought these for the price and because a friend recommended them to me . I originally had a second hand pair of pea pods and thought I’d get a different brand to see how they are. I brought the teddy boy trial pack that has the minky outside . The minky material makes my babies skin dry out really bad . They are awkward to clip and I find they… Read more

smell of pee really quick even when the nappy isn’t full. They hold a decent amount of liquid but not as much as other nappies. They aren’t a bad nappy for the price . But I would t recommended them at all. I tried to email the company with my problems but I didn’t even bother responding but it just sounded like that there was no possible way the nappy could effect any baby.

Not made to last – I loved my nappies initially, although a handful of my inserts have began deteriorating. If this was a result of my wash routine my other 25 nappies would also be deteriorating. Baby Bare claim this is typical wear. The nappies are only covered under warranty for 6 months, despite the face that baby bare claim they will last one child through to toilet training. I will not be buying any more baby bare nappies

Not worth the money – I have had my Baby Bare nappy for only 11 months and it has delaminated. I contacted the place of purchase and was advised that Baby Bare only guarantee their nappies for 6 months!!! I would personally rather spend a few dollars more and get a nappy that is guaranteed to last at least 12 months. Additionally the snap in soaker went out of shape… Read more

because the bamboo at the back shrunk in the wash meaning the fleece layer on top was creased, which I don't think would have been very comfy for bubs. The minky on these nappies is cheap and as another review said it wears quickly after a few washes. I guess you get what you pay for! Inexpensive, good colour choice, good fit Didn't last long, made with cheap materials

Great nappies – The baby bare AI2/'All in two' bear cub nappies have been working really well for our baby. They don't leak, are easy to use, and come in so many beautiful patterns. The top fleece layer of the inserts feels dry to touch even when the nappy is soaked, so is comfy for baby. If you buy extra inserts or boosters, you can just pop a new one in after a wee to reuse the nappy cover. I would recommend these.

Best fit – Bought several nappies that are still in excellent condition after constant use for 10 months now. These are my favorite after trying several popular brands. They are a good fit for my chubby bubba and I love that you can buy old stock on sale if you are on a budget. The Ai2 and koala pockets are my favourites. Show details

Amazing clothes nappies – Love this nappies ❤️❤️❤️Gorgeous print , and stay dry even have been used for 4 hours with out booster . Love love love I have tried several different brand (econaps , bare boho , bambooty ) but baby bare my favourite nappy .  Show details

My Favourite Reusable Nappies! – I bought these all on clearance or special. I haven't paid more than $20 for them. (Most I got for a steal at $12) I've had them for over a year and they are excellent! I use these first over the other brands I have as they are the easiest to put on and put back together after washing. I like the AI2 for their quick drying, the AIO for their… Read more

convenience (drying isn't too bad), but I don't like the side snap Teddy Bares (too fiddly). Very absorbent and super cute designs.

Changed our mind on MCN – We got our first new MCN when Baby Bare had a sale. After a not so great experience with CCs but determined to give cloth nappying a proper go we took some recommendations to try Baby Bare- they’re now one of only two brands we use. Our Ai2 cubs are fantastically absorbent with a trim fit, AIO easy to put together, Teddies so neat and adaptable.… Read more

We have Baby Bare wetbags for daycare and travel and they’re sturdy and well made. Nothing but beautiful customer service- thank you!

Love the wet bags! – Just bought a third 2 compartment wet bag, they're fantastic, the little front bag snaps off and can attach to any other bag the same making them interchangeable. I've been packing the big compartment with my clean nappies and wipes then using the small one for dirty, then when I get home just pull off the dirty one and snap on another little one ready for the next outing. So convenient!

Great product and above average service! – The staff at babybare have gone above and beyond in answering product questions for me and resolving an out of warranty issue with a couple of my nappies (which was a material flaw and not a faulty product). Jenny Day has been so accommodating in her service and responses. Couldn’t recommend them more. We will be getting all our MCN necessities from here.

Love our Baby Bare Cubs – Baby Bare (Bare Cubs) are most of our stash. We love the fit and simplicity of AIO and the easy-drying of the AI2. These nappies are very easy to fit to the baby, are quite trim and have very cute designs. It remains to be seen how long they last but apparently our chubby baby will slim down soon, so it should be okay!

These nappies are fantastic! – New to the mcn world I decided to take the plunge and purchase various trials from different companies. Out of the 3 companies I tried these are by far my favourite. I actually feel disappointed when I have to use my others, but I think I'll just need to buy more babybares! I purchased 10 babybares as they were running a special and let me just… Read more

say no regrets here! I love my baby bares. They wash up well and provide stay dry protection for my baby. Not to mention the customer service! Jenny is amazing and answers any concerns or questions right away (even if its the annoying 10th question you have asked!). If anyone is wanting to try mcn's I would recommend these to everyone :)

Great nappies, good price – Bare cubs make up half my nappy stash (the other half are Candies - also great but pricier). My 7month old has been in MCns full-time day-time since he was 2months, although I use disposables at night. The Bare Cubs have never leaked, fit great, are still look great after many washes. The only minor downside relative to styles with the folded… Read more

insert (like my Candies for example) is that the insert takes a while to dry - really a full day on the line in the Sydney sun. Still, they are very reasonably priced compared to similar quality nappies and they often have old stock on sale so you can pick up extras all the time for as little as $15. Great service too and an Australian local company.

The price point is perfect for a versatile good performing nappy! – My daughter is nearly 2 years old and I have been cloth diapering since she left hospital. I really wish i had discovered this brand and nappy much sooner. My nappy stash includes Grovia, Designer bums, Seedling baby, Softbums, Bonnibuns, Itti bitti, Pikapu, bumgenius, Thirsties (too name a few!). Baby bare nappies - especially the version 2 - I… Read more

think perform very well, contain leaks, and most importantly are cheap! I was surprised they performed well given the price point. I tend to use only the bamboo boosters and not the microfibre ones that i received. The pocket in them is great! easy to add extra stuff to make the nappy more absorbent. Stains also come out very easily and despite me washing at 60 degrees, the laminate has held up (unlike my softbums). Cost and performs well Version 1 won't fit my daughter much longer - thankfully Version 2 has added buttons to solve that problem!

Great product, heaps of fun – I am super happy with these nappies. I can't compare to any other types, but these are really cute, very effective and fit nicely under my baby's jumpsuits. Not that I want them them to, as they are so adorable i want to show them off, and I have heaps of fun colour coordinating her outfits. Haven't had any problems with leaking, despite my… Read more

partner's concerns - the disposables frequently leak too, so really, even if there is an accident, I'll still be winning! I had a very minor misunderstanding when ordering my nappies, which was partially my own fault, but the owner got back to me immediately,and very generously sorted out my concerns. I was incredibly impressed with the customer service. I feel very positive supporting a small, well run and ethical Australian business, and would (and have) enthusiastically recommend these nappies to friends.

Great nappy – We have been using Baby Bare New Bare Cub nappies (and the older style with sewn in booster) for around 4 months now, since our baby was 5 weeks old (~4kg). They fit well without being as bulky as some other OSFM. I happily reach for these knowing they are unlikely to leak. With the night booster, snap in & one of the included bamboo boosters… Read more

they've even lasted us through the night (has been 5+ hours).

I like the snap in design with the pocket option to add absorbancy, the softness of the boosters and the range of colours available. Jenny at Baby Bare is also great to deal with. The microsuede lining seems to pick up a bit of lint/fluff though, so doesn't look as pristine as some other nappy brands.

In all, a great, affordable, easy to use nappy! Versatile absorbancy, affordable, customer service Microsuede lining picks up lint etc

I love baby bare nappies!! – I love these nappies they are so thin very cute designs and are so soft!! They are very easy to use and very affordable I find these nappies to be better then some of the other brands I own with an extra booster added they are very adsorbent and the owner is so lovely to deal with! Would defiantly recommend to anyone :) Affordable, so soft and cute designs

A good every day nappy – I have tried many different MCNs and this is definitely one of the easiest to use and care for. A great basic nappy that is ideal for dads and daycare or just for every day use. OSFM and fits from small babies up to toilet training and very reasonably priced so great for the budget conscious. I also love the fit of these nappies both on my skinny… Read more

baby and chunky toddler- it fits both equally well. I doubt they would have enough absorbency for night but they are a great nappy for day use. Definitely a fan :)

One of my favourite nappies! – Baby bare are a very affordable nappy and very good quality. They are Very trim for a osfm but they still fit my big 2 1/2 year old boy. They have lots of different options for boosting. We definitely need the extra booster for absorbency though. Available in both PUL and minky in gorgeous colours and prints. Affordable, trim, beautiful colours, great quality. Couldn't use as a night nappy but my boy is a very heavy wetter.

Great product at an affordable price – These nappies perform better than expected, I got them when they were on sale during the Christmas season, so for the price of around $15 each, they were an absolute bargain. The prints are cute, the minky (my first experience of minky) very soft, and as someone else stated, very trim on bub. For my heavy wetter, they only seem to last for about… Read more

2 hours before the inserts are soaked, but that's how often we should change bub anyway! Overall, I am very happy with them. Great fit, trim, economical, versatile with the snap in and pocket option So far, so good!

Good workhorse nappy – This nappy is trim and lovely. Soft minky and can be used on a small bub with the snap down. Love the rainbow edges too and beautiful colors. Not absorbent enough for us as a night nappy. Was not a good fit when my son had chunky thighs and very a skinny waist. It does fit better now Reasonable price, trim Wasn't a good fit for my chunky boy when he was younger. Not good as a night nappy for us with the snap in and trifold

Only nappy I use now! – I'm new to mcn and was referred to baby bare by my cousin. I have 9month twins and a 2 yo in nappies and I LOVE BABY BARE. I had quite a few to try and Now i have completely swapped to baby bare exclusively for all 3. They dry quickly, clean easily. Have had NO stains or leakage. Wash up perfect and soft every time. High quality at an affordable price, fits all sizes perfectly.

Great value nappy – Great value nappy for around the $20 mark. I love how they have a snap in booster and a pocket to stuff extra boosters in for my heavy wetter. The owner, Jenny is lovely to deal with, great service. The only thing is that on my 2 year old chubby thigh girl, the snap started to stick into her hip and Jenny sent me some snap covers to pop them on… Read more

to save the snap socket sticking to my girls hip, i believe now, that they now have a hidden snap to stop this on her newer pattern. Yet to try her new version of this nappy.

Its a great reliable nappy, for a great price.

Favourite Nappy – A friend of mine put me onto these nappies after I had bought a few more expensive brands. I was pleasantly surprised. For the price, these nappies are amazing. Easy to use, trim fit, bamboo absorbency, 6 month warranty etc etc. They are a perfect fit on our bub, and one of the only OSFM nappies that has well at all stages. These are really… Read more

absorbent, yet super trim! Love the soft minky and really excited about the new patterns coming out. Great fit, the price (less then $20 a nappy), easy to use, outlast my other nappies, super soft.

great workhorse nappy – these nappies are fantastic and easy on the budget. I found the snap in boosters edges rubs on my baby's skin making her blister so I need to use the nappies as a pocket instead of an AI2 but that's no issue (and the rubbing of the edges isn't an issue for everyone) I would recommend these nappies, I have been using them for 9-10 months now and… Read more

they have HEAPS of life left. one of my fave cloth nappies, and I have used many brands over the years. everything the snap in booster edges rubs (not a problem for everyone)

Excellent nappies – These nappies are lovely and soft, very absorbent, and trim on baby. They have also been excellent quality, I have three of them right now, as I already had my stash when I heard about them. But I have another baby on the way, two in nappies, I will be buying more to up my stash for two. I have been using them for 5 month now and they still… Read more

look like new. The other day my teen daughter changed his nappy and put his romper over the top, I said, "did you change him into a disposable?" She said ,"no, cloth" I looked, it was a baby bare - it's that trim! And he can easily go three hours in the nappy - I don't leave him longer than that unless overnight. The wetbag, however, has the zip going on it unfortunately, I use it regularly as it is very handy to put over the stroller handle for quick trips to shops, swimming, music lessons etc. Absorbent, cute, soft, trim, can use it as an all-in-two. Can be mistaken for a disposable :) Seriously no cons so far.

Well worth the investment - excellent quality – I was new to MCNs and found the range available out there (and difference in prices), very overwhelming. It was for this reason that I was attracted to the philosophy of Baby Bare - that parents wanting to use cloth shouldn't have to fork out a huge outlay for top quality nappies. I bought a trial pack of the earlier version and was very pleased… Read more

with them - no leaks, they looked cute and found them so easy to use. I didn't feel the need to try any other brand so I ordered a full time pack and haven't looked back. The full time pack was their v2 and the quality was even better.

I am continually amazed at how soft they feel and how easy they are to wash without having to soak/bleach etc. i use them at night with the boosters and we easily get 12 hours without leaks (amazing how heavy the nappy feels in the morning, it holds that much). The nappy will only leak if its full but i usually get 3 hours without boosting (during the day). My hubby was very sceptical about using them initially but he was completely fine after he started. Lots of people ask me about them when they see me using them and I always rave about them to whoever will listen, I even converted a friend who is (was!) a long term user of disposables. Jenny is excellent with her communication and is always willing to help you through any issues. Highly recommended :) No leaks (and my baby is a big wetter) , superb absorbancy, beautiful and soft, easy to clean, excellent value Nothing major, I have a few inserts where the stitching wasn't 100% but this is a minor craftsmanship issue and hasn't affected the performance of the insert

Great value for money – I purchased a few of these and I'm quiet happy they are a bit cheaper then similar minky nappies . They are reliable and good one size fit. i have found they do wear a bit after a few washes but are still a good value for money nappy that I would recommend them especially for anyone just starting out . Cheap enough to build up your stash but still nice enough to show off A bit of pilling not as soft on the inside after a few washes Show reply

Love love love – These are amazing nappies and a great fit for my little boy. Super soft and very absorbent. Recommend the trifold booster for night time :)
