Anyone have them, opinions?

I'm intrigued by contours. Doesn't poo get everywhere?

They're a velcro fastened contour with two body layers of terry, one of flannel and two soaker layers.

No elastic is required as it perishes over time and can cause your little one discomfort. When you use a Pilcher or Nappy cover there purpose is to stop any leaking (most of the time)

*
The inside pad is made from 1 piece of double sided Terry Towelling plus 1 piece of absorbent incontinent material (used in nursing homes)
*
1 layer of printed flannel on the outside
*
2 pieces of double-sided Terry Towelling for the inner layers (covers the whole Nappy)

The FunkyMate has Velcro in the top corners to elimate the Velcro from catching on other items being washed at the same time and allows the Nappy to grow with your little one


And I'm sceptical that they could last anyone overnight as advertised. To me they look like a single wee nappy for a light wetter. What do people who've used them think?

Couldnt imagine how they would work, am very sceptical, I have read some people have used them successuly as a day nappy but others have said that they wouldnt buy them again.

Like all nappies they come under the personal scrutiny of the buyer but it would be interesting to hear feedback from others.

I asked this same question a while back and was told that the incontinence stuff in the middle perishes pretty quickly so once thats gone its pretty much just the terry...
And the absence of elastic around the legs isn't very reassuring....

I'm wary to buy anything not highly recommended now as I was one of those idiots that bought a dozen Fluffies nappies when I knew nothing about MCN! sad.gif
