Apple Cheeks Nappies

Ilana Grostern and Amy Appleton Venu of Montreal are the designers and owners behind the fabulous washable nappy system know as AppleCheeks

These ecologically-minded business women really know what they are talking about when it comes to cloth nappies. Not only from their own personal experiences, but also because they have listened to their customers over the years.



Apple Cheeks Little Bundle - Size 1 Cover and Insert

Apple Cheeks Little Bundle - Size 1 Cover and Insert
Size 1 - 7 - 20 lbs approx 3kg-20kg
Vibrant coloured, breathable, waterproof PUL outer with popper fastening at waist and legs.
Snug and durable elastic at waist and legs giving a gentle and secure fit.
Fleece liner with unique envelope opening.
Comes complete with a 2 layer bamboo insert approx. 12" x 15" that folds into 6 layers of absorbency.
This insert is quite trim while offering good absorbency and it is reasonably quick drying.
Bamboo has anti-bacterial properties and if you wish your baby to benefit from this, you can lie the bamboo insert on top of the cover.
Placing the insert inside the envelope opening allows the stay-dry properties of the fleece lining in the nappy to wick moisture away from baby's bottom.

The Apple Cheeks may be a more expensive nappy but their style and versatility are worthy of the cost.
They are very quick drying and so you may get away with less nappies in your kit, perhaps only requiring 12 - 15 nappies. Also as these are sized nappies they are likely to last more than one baby which many of the stuffable nappies may not.
The Bamboo insert is 70% rayon from bamboo and 30% organic cotton fleece. It offers great absorbency although if it does not last for long with a heavy wetter you may buy a 3 layer bamboo insert.


Price: £17.75

Recommendation

I have used the Apple Cheeks Nappy, initially the price put me off but I am really impressed with this nappy.
It looks great on my baby and performs really well.
The envelope opening is positioned in a much better place than some stuffables and does make the nappy easier to stuff.
Apple Cheeks do market the nappy as being able to 'unstuff itself when washing' In my experience this has happened but a few times the insert has remained in the nappy. This isn't a problem to me, it is quite easy to unstuff before washing.
