Cloth Nappy Adventures - To Buy Sized or One Sized?

So, even once you’ve decided what system will work best, not only will you face an overwhelming array of brands, but also whether to choose One size (or Birth to Potty) nappies, or sized ones!


It here comes down to aesthetics versus economy.


One sized nappies will last your child from birth to potty, however because of this they are likely to look bulky on a newborn. They are also very useful if you are going to have two children in nappies at the same time, as you can use the same nappy on your small baby as on your toddler.


Sized nappies have a much slimmer, neater fit, which can fit better under clothing and also provide better containment for some children, however you will need to buy around three different sizes (small, medium and large) from birth to potty training.


A note on long-term economy – the more you use nappies, the more tatty they are likely to become as with clothing, even with loving care. Therefore if you ARE intending to re-use your nappies on subsequent children, you may in the long-run be better buying sized nappies as they will get less overall wear.
