Jodi's review:
Initial thoughts:
When this little package arrived I was so impressed by the minky! I received a white and watermelon. The white is an off white, a gorgeous yummy creamy colour and the watermelon is a red with a slight pink tinge to it – it is definitely a neutral shade of red but not the normal bright red in my collection (so it stands out in the red section of the nappy shelf) – its just lovely! The minky is soft and feels like a good quality fabric should, its very luxurious to touch and the pile is thick and fluffy. The nappy has a black 'Rydees Australia' label on the middle of the back (see below), 3 snaps on the arms, and 2 rise setting snaps in the front. All snaps are white. The inside is lined in stay dry suede cloth to keep babies skin dry. The lay in booster is topped in the same suede cloth and stays place by snapping under an envelope flap at the back.
After use:
I personally was impressed with the fit of these nappies. My girl isn't huge, she wears an 0 (some 00s and some 1s) and still fits in quite a few medium nappies. The Rydees fit her with the arms meeting in the middle, as you can see in the pics below I could have unsnapped one side as they were quite snug but she was comfy. (Note the pics in the watermelon nappy with 1 snap gap in the middle - still a great fit on her) They look like they will definitely fit her until toilet training and would fit a bigger toddler well too. We had the rise settings snapped to the top layer of snaps – so another rise setting and a whole heap more arm snaps of growing room in these.
I kept them on her for a minimum of 3 hours and they held out beautifully, even the first wears we had no leaks and the only time we did have a leak was when my assistant (AKA DH) didn't do it up right - 12months of full time cloth up his sleeve but oh well ;)

The nappies dried reasonably quickly. The inserts contain bamboo which dries slower than microfibre and the built in layers mean its a little slower than a pocket nappy but a days sunshine and they were good to go again.
The inserts didn't have a label on them but can be washed and dried snapped to the nappy which makes them Daddy's laundry day friendly (and saves me having to tell him which inserts go with which nappy every time ;) and they have 3 arm snaps which stops wing droopages (and if you've read any of my reviews you will know that wing droopage is on the Jodi's pet hates list!) They also have an envelope back which stops the insides from hanging out the back (which I also hate so loved this feature!) They are a trim fit and definitely have enough space to add some extra boosting for a heavy wetter. We used them as day nappies only but I think with a few bamboo inserts in the back they could definitely be used for night use on most bubs too (or car trips!).
