Bubblebubs BamBam Fitted Nappy

We started on daytime cloth nappies when our son was 10 days old and tried half a dozen types leant to us by a friend

By far and away our favourite was the Bambam. It’s a fitted cloth nappy, held by a ‘snappy’ with waterproof cover and holds a bomb proof record in our house. No issues with the fit for a 3.2kg newborn and they’re still going for our little chappy at four months. The layers dry quickly and are easy to wash. Only the one caveat: it is probably a bit hard to teach grandparents to use but that’s ok for us as we do 99% of nappy changes.

We love them and will keep them for any siblings. They’ve certainly saved us mounds of disposable nappies!

I looked at lots of new born options but so glad I went with Bambams. So soft and absorbent as well as versatile. I was able to fold the insert in multiple ways to suit my little girl at different stages. So easy to use that I took them to the hospital and used them straight away. Easy to wash and dry. She wore them all the way to 8kg. Couldn't have been happier.

I absolutely loved using these nappies. After a lot of research I purchased 14 of them with four covers (the BamBam part time pack plus a Bam Bam trial pack) well before our baby was born. We started using them immediately (from 2 days old) and never had a leak. The snappi means that you get a perfect fit every time. The covers were a little big to start with so we used a Baby Bare newborn cover initially. Our baby was born at 4kg so he was big to begin with. The only down side was that he grew out of them by the time he was eight weeks old. My...

Our son is 11 days old and has been in Bambams since day 2 (3.874 kgs). We trifold the insert for extra absorbency and find that this is giving us between 2-3 hours at the moment. I find the fit of the nappies good, and particularly liked that we could fold them down so that they did not cover his umbilical stump in those first few days. As the Bambams have no absorbancy it is important to note that they must be used with a cover to prevent leaks. We used the Bubblebubs size newborn covers which seems to be working well for now.

Bambams have been a nice gateway to cloth for us as first time parents and are far less bulky than terry towelling options for newborns.

These nappies are a joke. We are onto our second baby with these, and boy have they disappointed us.
Just like our first, our son leaks out everywhere with these and not just the odd nappy here or there but, every. Single. One.
We have also noticed that the elastic around the sides have stretched out on all of the nappies. We use a low speed spin cycle during washing and low heat 30 minute dryer cycle on occasion. These nappies should last longer.
Truly disappointing considering the amount we paid.
Don't waste your money.

We ordered a trial pack of bambams online a couple of months before our baby was due. 2 weeks later I had an email asking if I'd received a previous email (I hadn't) telling me to choose another print for the cover as the one I wanted was out of stock. I thought that was quite a long time to figure out that they didn't have what I wanted in stock, but as my baby was not born yet, I didn't mind so much.
After my baby was born, we ordered a set of 12 bambams, along with covers and a couple of larger sizes to trial for when he got bigger. When t...

We have used Bambams since my son was 1 week old (3.7kg). He is now 7weeks old and I cannot fault them.
The fit has been great and has adapted to suit as he grew and changed shape - short and chubby to long and thin.
After a quick tutorial hubby was on board has had no problem using them since.

These nappies have been great! I am a first time mum to a 4 week old and have been using these since he was born. Great fit, easy to apply and can be easily boosted if required. I found the absorbency really increases a lot with a few washes. I have some pre-folds as well which are also great.

Vicki's customer service is amazing, she answered all my questions quickly and with so much information. The website and the blog are also full of info and little videos which have been very helpful.

Loved using these with my newborn. So easy to put on, wash and dry quickly so that I could use them again. It is so easy with these to get a good fit that doesn't leak.

All the other nappies I tried leaked no matter what I did. Pairing a bambam with a double gusset cover no more leaks every again.

I purchased some of the new aussie animals bubblebubs candies recently. They were ready for pick up next day and were fabulous to use. They are my favourite out of the different brands i have. Love the clip in inserts - easy to clean. The instructions on the website were great too. Want to buy some more!

We bought these months in advance of our babies arrival based on the overwhelming positive reviews on this site and other review sites. The initial outlay wasn’t bad as we ordered direct from their online store, we got the ‘Newborn part-time pack Bam Bams’ for $299. It included covers, snappis and the bam bams.
Our baby was an average 3.5kgs and started cloth nappies the day we brought him home. The elastic fit on the legs and waist are so good, catching any runny poos and only needing x1 extra layer of booster for wees. The covers are super ...

I bought a stash of these for use with my second after having regrets not getting them for my first. They are incredibly soft and feel gorgeous for little squishy newborn bums. Getting a perfect fit was quite easy, and boosting on the outside between nappy and PUL or woollen cover extended the period of use we were able to get as we had a chunky heavy wetting boy who sadly by 10 weeks barely fit the Bam bams anymore. But we soon upgraded to BIGs and love them too!

These nappies are so soft and luxurious; it really does put your mind at ease having such new skin in them. I found ours were really absorbent and were used daily until 8 weeks (my babies are big, so she was out wetting them even when boosted). I found them super easy to use in the newborn haze, and washed them in a normal load (with our clothes) no problems.

We started using BamBams as soon as my little one was home from hospital. We found that they were a great fit, especially as you can do them up firmly. My partner had no trouble getting used to them as well as visiting relatives. We did find our little one would let us know when she was wet, as this type of nappy gets wet all the way around. Paw paw cream was the best option for these cloth nappies to get rid of nappy rash (caused from disposables when in hospital). I'm sorry when she outgrew them at about 3 months, as they have been such a good nappy. Definitely recommend BamBams for your newborn.

BamBams are a great fit from from newborns to about 2-3 months. They still fit my son and he's 3 months though I do need to boost them now. Because they do up with a snappy they're very flexible to fit and easier than a prefold to start with. The leg elastics also create a great seal. Paired with a Bubblebubs cover i found these had a great size range and great flexibility when you're just starting.
