Bubblebubs BamBam Fitted Nappy

Best newborn nappies – I love these nappies and recommend them to every pregnant friend considering cloth. I didn't know about them with my first, but bought a 24 pack second-hand for my second baby. She wore them from her first nappy change in hospital until she grew out of them (I can't remember when!). Lent them to my SIL for her baby, and she also used them… Read more

full-time for her little man until he grew out of them. We are using them again now for our third little one, and still loving them in spite of stretched elastics - they still rarely leak unless we take too long to change him. Our #3 was born early and little (2.7kg) and they fitted him from birth - so much easier to use than disposable!

We find these easy to use, to fit and to wash, and rarely have leaks. I tend to prefer snaps to velcro, so we have different covers, but the velcro Bubblebubs covers work too :)

Got us into cloth nappies! – 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… Read more

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!

Perfect newborn nappy! – 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.  Show details

Love these nappies! – 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… Read more

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 husband and I were actually sad to have to move on to a OSFM nappy we loved them that much. They washed incredibly well, and sometimes we would put them in the dryer for a couple of minutes to make them fluffy and soft. We were washing everyday so that we could use them full time (we had an additional three other newborn nappies from other brands) but it was well worth it. We used reusable micro liners as we found these much better than the flushable bamboo ones. It also meant we were 100% resuseable (we also use reuseable cloth wipes). We now use a mixture of OSFM, mostly Candies.

The customer service was great. Vicki was helpful and prompt in her responses when I had questions. Highly, highly recommend these nappies!

Awful awful nappies – 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… Read more

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.

Incomplete order and appalling customer service – 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,… Read more

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 the parcel arrived, it contained everything but only 10 bambams (not 12). I immediately wrote to bubblebubs to let them know that 2 items were missing from the parcel. Two and a half weeks later I still had not heard back from them, so I wrote again. This time I heard back with an email containing just a single sentence: 'just following up to see if the two bambams have arrived?'. I wrote back to say that they had not, and asked if they had been sent yet (because I had not received any communication to say they had). No response. A few weeks later we went overseas for a month, and expected them to arrive while we were away. But now we are back and we still haven't received what we paid for, nearly 3 months after we ordered it! It has taken so long, that even if we received the rest of the nappies now, they wouldn't get much use as my baby would be close to growing out of them.

The nappies themselves work fine. Poo often escapes from the cloth part, but is usually caught by the cover (we got the candy covers). However, the customer service is APPALLING! I think nappies from other companies would work just as well, so it is just not worth the risk dealing with this company. We will spend our money elsewhere next time.

Perfect newborn nappy – 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.  Show reply

So easy for a first time mum – 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… Read more

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.

The perfect newborn nappy – 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.

Brilliant cute product and fab service – 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!

Started these first day home with the bubs and haven’t looked back! – 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… Read more

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 cute with the prints and very easy to put on and to wash.

Extremely happy with the performance and ease of use with the bam bams for newborns. Such a good start to our cloth nappy journey. Definitely would recommend these for anyone trying out cloth for their newborn.

Perfect NB Option – 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… Read more

heavy wetting boy who sadly by 10 weeks barely fit the Bam bams anymore. But we soon upgraded to BIGs and love them too!

Must have newborn nappies – 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.

Great For Newborn – 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… Read more

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.

Great fit flexibility for newborns – 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.

I can't wait to wrap our bub's little toosh in our super soft Bambams! – As a first time mum, making the right decision on cloth nappies has been a tricky one. After weeks of research, we decided the Bubblebubs Bambams would be the perfect choice for our pending arrival. Vicki has been amazing, and kept us in the loop with expected delivery times, as the PUL covers we ordered we're slightly delayed. Having since… Read more

received our fluffy mail, I can say 100% that I cannot wait to wrap our baby's little butt in the super soft bambam. They are so incredibly soft and silky and just simply adorable. They appear to offer a little more convenience than a prefold or flat, and will (hopefully) be the perfect fit for our new baby! I can't wait to purchase some more!

Love this nappy – As a first time user of cloth nappies I was a bit worried but fell in love with my bambams, I even got my partner using them after he swore black and blue he wouldn't touch cloth !! They are soft and so easy to use, I love the range of covers for them and they all dry quite quickly. I have never had nappy rash with these nappies and have no issues… Read more

using them overnight. I add a booster now as my bun is getting bigger and I'm not quite wanting to give them up yet.

Fantastic newborn nappy – Fantastic fit from day one (once I mastered the art of the snappi), fit for a lot longer than other newborn nappies I purchased. Worked very well and while I purchased them second hand and used them solidly for at least 8-9 months, heaps of life left in them and I just wish I had known about them for Bub number 1 (used cushie tushies Osfm with him and they were just a bit big for the first 3 months)

My favourite newborn nappy – I bought a few different kinds of newborn nappy before my baby was born and BamBams are the only ones I kept using. Much easier than prefolds but still gives a great custom fit. The fabric is so soft and the elastic is strong enough to keep in leaks but doesn't leave red marks against delicate skin. They do need a cover, which makes them a little… Read more

bulkier but I never used one unless going out or wearing clothes over the top. They look so cute on the bum!

Bubblebubs bamboo delights – These are my go-to nappy for going out, car journeys etc - times when I really don't want a leak! They are a bit bulky but bub is only 4.5kg at the moment and think he will fill them out. Really absorbent though (that was my only issue with the bambams - had to change him nearly every hour as he was really wet!) and lovely next to his skin. Teamed… Read more

with PUL cover I haven't had any leaks and he leaks almost every disposable and the occasional candie (probably operator error?!) Vicki delivers amazing customer service (see candie review) - can't fault her and she has made entrance to cloth nappy using very pleasant! Only concern is how long they take to dry but that is the price you pay for the extra absorbency.

Perfect for newborn to 8kg – My favorite nappy! I got rid of the other 10 styles we tried. Now i only use nappies made by bubblebubs. Very high quality and very reasonably priced. Very very very soft. Extremely easy to use, very very trim, especially when teamed with a candies cover. Almost as trim as a disposable but feels even softer to me! The good: Very trim… Read more

(almost like disposable)

Very absorbent

Dries relatively quickly

Super soft

Can use up until 8kg so great value for money plus inserts can be used after this time

Best of all, you can buy and if you don't like it even after trying you get your money back!

Doesn't leave any red marks on baby legs or back/tummy etc

Perfect fit every time

Zero blowouts

Superb customer service.

The bad?

Can't think of anything. it just took me a couple of tries to figure out how to use snappi but you don't even need one.

A must have in every stash! I've tried 10 soft styles and am replacing all of the ones not made by bubblebubs.

Best Fitted Nappy I have Used – Gosh, I wish these were around 9 years ago when I was using cloth with my older children. Bambams have genuinely got #3 bub into cloth nappies as much as possible from the day we got home from hospital. I avoided cloth in the early days with my first two, as I was either having to fold flats or deal with All in Ones that didn't quite fit yet. … Read more

Bambams save the folding, and fit like a dream! Great custom fit, and trim too, doesn't interfere with teeny newborn clothing fitting still!

Whenever I need to use a disposable, I can't wait to get it off her and get a cute fluffy bambam back on! Not to mention that all my leaks so far have been with a disposable on, and not a single leak with Bambams on.

They dry very quickly - I can hang out inside at night and be using them again by morning (Spring weather).

My only regret with them? That I didn't buy more! :)

Great newborn nappy – I bought 6 of these nappies to add to my stash for my second bub. I love how soft they are and how they are nice and trim. They also fit really well as are designed specifically for small babies but I like the fact that they can still be used up to about 8kg. They take 1-2 days to dry but this the same as my other bamboo nappies and I think bamboo absorbency outweighs drying time.

Will keep using these for as long as possible – I'm not sure if these is for the BamBams or Bamboo Delights so I'll write reviews for both Bam Bams I bought a few of these before bub was born as they has such great reviews. They are made of a nice, soft material that feels like it will last really well. I use them with the PUL cover. A friend loaned us a whole stash of Bambooty Easy Dry… Read more

nappies in small for a newborn, but hubby and I weren't liking the red marks on her thighs when we changed her nappies. We found ourselves reaching for the Bambams over the Bambootys because it was such a great fit over her belly and legs without one being too tight or too loose. All up we have Funki Bums, Bambootys, BamBams and prefolds for this newborn stage, and the BamBams are definitely my favourite. Surprisingly, they are also hubby's favourite, which I wasn't expecting because of the couple of extra steps with the snappi and cover. I do wish they could hold a bit more as it always seems to be soaking wet when we changed her but there have been no leaks!

Bamboo Delights.

These are very similar to the Ai2 Candies, they just need a cover. Like the Candies, they make for a great fit, and they are super, super, super soft! At this point in time I find they are just that bit too big and bulky when a cover is used while my bub is so little. I think in the future it will be great for semi-nappy free time as they would be so breathable.

Excellent nappy – These are our go to nappies and are much easier to use than prefolds. They are good quality and durable with great absorbency and even come with an additional bamboo booster. I haven't needed the booster yet with my newborn but they will come in handy once we need more absorbency. They are so easy to use with a snappi and have a really snug fit… Read more

for even small newborns. Because of the great fit we haven't had any leaks and they are great at containing explosive newborn poo. Highly recommended!

Great fitting napy – I have found these great so far, my daughter weighed less than 3kg and had skinny thighs when we started using them and they are the only MCN that would fit her. I love that we will be able to use them for a long time. Once you get the hang of doing them up, they are easy to put on. The bamboo is very absorbent and therefore can take a little time… Read more

to dry, but so far haven’t taken more than a day and night to dry (although the weather has been good). I’m sure in winter they will dry over the heating duct well. We have had a bit of poo leakage out the sides if the elastic isn’t done up tight enough, but nothing has gotten past the PUL cover. The only other thing is that bamboo is very absorbent, but it stays wet, so I use a cornstarch liner with them to try and minimise the risk of nappy rash. None so far and we have been using them for five weeks. Overall I am very happy with this purchase.

Fantastic nappy for young babies – I love that these are snap less. Closing with a snappi gives it a perfect fit - snaps irritate me on nappies when you can't get that perfect fit, which matters less on an older baby than a delicate little newborn I suppose. They are soft and absorbent, and look so sweet. The seem so very comfortable on my little girl, because you can fit them… Read more

exactly. Used mainly with a Bubblebubs PUL cover, I haven't had a single leak. Buy without a second thought, you won't find a better fitted for little people No snaps!! So soft and seem to have such a comfortable fit

Bubblebubs Bam Bams are THE best newborn nappy!! – Bubblebubs Bam Bams are the BEST!!! They truly fit ANY size newborn!! I loved that they were snapless, thus enabling you to get a truly customisable fit. Never had a leak! I had dozens and dozens of newborn nappies, I sold everything and bought 24 of these!! Will definitely purchase again should we have another child!

Bam bams - awesome newborn nappy – I love Bubblebubs Bam bam fitted nappies! They are so soft and luscious feeling, so I know my baby's bum is comfortable and it's very easy to get a good snug fit around baby's legs. They are very absorbent and I love that the insert is not attached at all to the nappy, making them quick drying - an important factor when a newborn is going… Read more

through so many nappies a day.

My baby is 5 weeks old and I use my bam bams with a bubblebubs PUL cover and they are the only cloth combination that I have not had a leak out of.

I could not recommend these highly enough for newborns. Soft, absorbent, well fitting, easy to use.

good nappies – I was actualy going to write a review on the bubblebubs bamboo delights but the picture here is of a bam bam so I will review those. I like the bam bams, they are a lovely fit on newborns and being able to use a snappi with them gives them the perfect fit, my only complaint is they don't seem to have enough layers but some boosting fixes that issue. great fit not enough layers

Great cloth nappy! – I purchased Bubblebubs fitted nappies for my daughter. They are well fitting, highly absorbant and easy to maintain. They never leaked which meant that I could reuse the nappy cover several times over, before I had to wash the covers. My daughter is in the 97% percentile for her age and so they didn't fit for as long as I would have liked... … Read more

I currently have 9 of these for sale on Gumtree along with Weehuggers nappy covers. I would highly recommend these if you are considering cloth nappies. High quality

Good – Overall I really like these! Especially the bamboo velour--so lush and soft. I have a bamboo velour one and a couple of the soy/bamboo ones. I included the high rise as a possible con but personally it doesn't bother me at all but it is something to be aware of. They can sit above the navel on a smaller baby as there isn't a fold down option like… Read more ·  1

front snapping nappies. I've used them on my baby from 6 weeks to 8 months and they are going strong. Have even put one on the three year old overnight in a pinch and it fit. they are very soft, very absorbent. the size range capability is fantastic. side snaps are great. work well as overnight nappies. a couple of the snaps on my soy fitteds are a bit wonky and I have to avoid using them, they are quite a high rise nappy which some may not like.
