Hippybottomus Stay-Dry
Verified266 reviews
Do not last like other cloth nappies! My nappy stash has a mixture of brands and types, after 19 months of use all the Hippybottomus nappy shells have delaminated and all the other nappy brands are fine! All the hippybottomus nappies are now useless as the wee leaks through the nappy shell. Cann’t get a refund, as they only guarantee 12 month warranty... Don’t get tricked by the cute patterns like I did! No worth it

Best MCN we have ever used – My son has super sensitive skin and we have used all different brands of MCN’s with lots of issues with fabrics etc. We were recommended Hippybottomus nappies by friends of ours, so we thought why not give them a try! Best decision we ever made! We went from having a few, to having a stash of over 30 in a month! The bamboo inner layer is soft and… Read more
delicate on our bubbas skin, we have never had an issue with a rash or irritation and we have a heavy wetter, we double up on inserts and can get a whole night without a single leak! If you are thinking about trying MCN’s, I could not recommend Hippybottomus more! Appropriate pricing, high quality and beautiful prints! (Our favourite is the watermelons) Even better, supporting a local small business!!
Amazing brand – I’ve been using reusable nappies from hippy bottomus and couldn’t recommend them enough. They’re easy to use and come with really straight forward cleaning instructions. Their design has made it as easy as changing a regular nappy in my eyes. Hippy bottomus has such a nice range of patterns it’s hard to resist buying them all. I’d recommend… Read more
getting the “recommended nappy stash” ,it sets you up with everything you need to begin your reusable journey and then obviously you’ll want to buy more because who doesn’t want more of those cute designs.
Gorgeous patterns, affordable, easy to use – I used the wonderful Hippybottomus cloth nappies with my now 4.5yr old and I’m back again using them for my 2nd Bub. They are easy to use, wash, and look great in all their gorgeous patterns. I just received a new top up order as I couldn’t resist some of the new patterns. I also love the wet bags and other products. I had an issue with my latest… Read more
order and the lovely customer service helped me resolve the issue with ease. I highly recommend supporting this great brand for all your modern cloth nappy needs!
Awesome Cloth Nappies for this 1st time Mum! – I was nervous about using Cloth Nappies, thinking they’d be too fiddly & not absorbent enough but I have been pleasantly proven incorrect. Once I found the ideal settings for my son, they’ve been a dream. Very absorbent, easy to clean & dry, & the patterns are so cute! I highly recommend Hippybottomus Cloth Nappies for any family :) Show details
The easiest reusable nappies – My daughter is very small for her age and is toilet training. These make life so easy and it's reduced how much we spend on nappies each month. It's helping her learn to remove her nappy herself as well. Show details · 1

Do not buy!!!! – We invested $400 in a nappy stash and our mother in law invested another $100 in a 6 pack. At first, we thought we had good value nappies with good designs. There were a few leaks at first which we put down to poor fitting by the user. We then had two inserts come apart which were replaced free of charge. We then had two nappies of the same print… Read more
delaminate. Again, these were replaced, and we thought it must have been a fault with that print. Although were disappointed with the quality, at least the company replaced our nappies ..... until the replacement period expired. . We have since had several nappies delaminate and others where the shell has cracks or simply just leaks through the material. We have always followed the care instructions and done strip washes which has not helped. Every nappy we have leaks even when we double the inserts. The leaks come straight through the "waterproof shell". I contacted the company to advise them of the poor quality of their product, knowing that I was out of warranty and would not be getting any replacements. The company took no responsibility nor did they acknowledge the the poor quality or failure of their product. Instead they questioned our wash routine and said the product failures "may" be a result of our washing detergent and offered a 50% discount on shells. I would not want anymore of these nappies even if they were free. . We persevered with these nappies for 16 months because we ultimately wanted cloth to help the environment more so than our hip pocket. After so many failures and leaks every night we eventually made the decision to invest in a better quality product for our own sanity and for our little girl. We now have Seedling Baby nappies using the same wash routine and detergent with no problems. Several friends use the same wash routine with Designer Bums, Junior Tribe Co and other quality brands with no issues.
10/10 – We absolutely love our hippybottomus products to the point I think I have one of everything!!! We have been using our nappies full-time for a couple months now and they are wonderful. They have a perfect adjustable fit, no leaks or blow-outs and not to mention extremely stylish!! They have not worn at all, no stains, no colour fade and no rips or… Read more
tethers. When using reusable nappies you also need wetbags, we have many bags in different sizes and different amounts of zips, these have been perfect with no wear, no leaks and good quality zips! In our small wet bag we keep all our reusable wet wipes, they are perfect size and soft on bubs bum! And last but not least we also have our reusable swim nappys, this is also a perfect fit, beautiful designs and hasnt worn even though it has been in and out of chlorine pools weekly!! I have spoken to staff a couple times and they have been absolutely lovely and have been able to answer all my questions!! I would highly recommend this company!!
The best I have tried – I purchased half a dozen brands prior to my babys birth and these are by far the best, so much so that I ended up purchasing more of these and more inserts and dont use the other brands unless I forget to wash and really need to. The shell and inserts dry over night which none of my others do, I wash every 3 or 4 days so they have had sooo many… Read more
wears and no issues. I use 1 flat and 1 crimped over night with no issues, i have a baby boy who is a tummy sleeper and still has a bottle just before bed at night and a late dream feed about 300ml+ liquid going in and no leaks. I have been using these for 12 months now and none leak or have issues so the quality of manufacture is great and the shell still leak proof and the inserts super absorbent. They are the cheapest I found and the best due to the quick dry and no leaks. Prints are also super cute and all the snaps make them fit really well and grow with bub or at least have so far 12 months. Cant recommend enough and assume the people with bad reviews are doing something wrong? Oh and I have never had a poo explosion in these have in a disposable.

My FAV cloth nappies – New to cloth nappies and trialled a few different ones. These are the first that we’ve had no leaks with! I love the one size fits all design, it saves us money having 2 growing kids in cloth. The gorgeous designs are just a bonus Show reply
Amazing and Affordable – After trying a variety of modern cloth nappy brands, Hippybottomus nappies are an absolute winner in my books. They are so simple to use, comfy and spacious. The inserts soak up a lot and definitely last overnight if you purchase and add a night booster to the included insert. I think these nappies fit the best on my growing baby currently. The… Read more
only downside, in my opinion, is that they don't have many modern prints, so many of the prints feel a bit dated. I would still consider replacing the majority of my nappy stash with Hippybottomus though, they really are fantastic for the price.
Amazing product and service – Hippybottomus has amazing, high-quality nappies! We had a hiccup with the delivery getting lost, but the team was very responsive, professional and I really appreciated them getting a new parcel to me quickly. Thank you!
Negative reviews
Dont have longevity – These nappies are cute and soft. Sadly they don’t last very long. They were originally super absorbent but After only 8 months the inner lining started to peel and the pads aren’t absorbent. I follow the washing instructions but they just haven’t lasted which is highly disappointing. Show details

Don’t waste your money - these nappies lasted significantly less time than all the other brands we have bought – We purchased about 20 nappies, very cute designs and cute on chunky babies - however after 19 months of use they’re completely worn out, lost shape and leak. All the other brands we purchased still look and feel as they did when we bought them. The inserts also didn’t hold up and had to be boosted from about 6 months which made the nappies quite… Read more
chunky. I wouldn’t recommend them, there are brands for a similar price that have WAY out-performed these nappies.
Leak ALL the time – Terrible Nappies. I read lots of reviews before purchasing and they seemed to be a good idea. I spent $400 on a stash I was very confident. I'm not sure if these are fake reviews, because the nappies are hopeless. They leak ALL the time. Unless you feel like changing your baby's clothes ten times a day and doing lots of washing, don't bother. I… Read more
used only the recommended detergents, air dried, tried with liners and without, avoided all barrier creams, etc. I tried different combinations of clip settings. I persevered for over 8 months. Total waste of money and time. Oh, one star because they look cute.

I’ve used this brand for both my kids, the best shells & wet bags of all the nappy brands I’ve tried. I needed the roomier fit for both babies. And my family appreciated how easy they were to get on and stuff!
Amazing modern cloth nappies – As we have embarked on our modern cloth nappy journey, we have found Hippybottomus nappies to be the perfect solution for our infant. They are super absorbent while also not being too bulky. The designs are lovely, the materials are very high quality, cleaning and maintenance is easy, and the nappies are at a great price point. We will continue to… Read more
complete our MCN collection with Hippybottomus Stay Dry nappies and would recommend them to friends and family.
Amazing nappies – We were nervous about switching to reusable nappies but these nappies are so easy to use and clean i only wish we did it sooner ! Show details
Great product I absolutely love these!! – I tried changing from disposable to cloth 4 years ago with my daughter, but back then the brands I tried just didn’t work so I went back to disposables. This time with my son I found hippybottomus nappies online and I have been amazed at how easy the switch has been. They fit round my boys chunky legs without making awful red marks, they are super… Read more
easy to setup with only one insert which makes the nappies not so bulky as others I tried, they are amazingly easy to wash coming up impeccable each time and best of all they dry overnight on the line!! I am really amazed and have now gone cloth all the way with these! Big thanks to the ladies at Hippybottomus!! Would recommend these 100% ❤️
Would only ever buy hippybottomus cloth! – I consider myself to be a hippybottomus snob now after trying a few other brands, nothing compares to hippybottomus. The designs are super cute, they’re easy to use, a lot of my stash is over 2 years old and still going strong on my second son and they fit really well and are super good quality! I’ve experienced leaking and sweating with other… Read more
brands and I can honestly say I won’t bother trying anything else because why fix what ain’t broke! I highly recommend hippybottomus to all my mum friends who want to try cloth!
Favourite MCN – Great fit from newborn to toddler. Large enough to accommodate a night time set up for a heavy wetter. Absolutely love these MCN, they make up the majority of my stash, definitely a favourite out of the brands that I have. Beautiful prints. Show details
Half the price of expensive eco nappies- ten times better – We started MCNs trying a range of 5 brands. Hippybottamus are the only ones we still use. The most absorbent. The fastest drying liners. Best for blow outs. Stain resistant. Soft as. Love them. Love them. Show details

My absolute favourite MCN – My fav nappies, never had a leak. Keeps bub dry. Drys super quick in winter and affordable. Clean up really well. And no nappy rash. Can’t fault them. Did I mention the prints are super adorable. Customer service is also outstanding. My go to. Show details
Best Cloth Nappies – These are by far the best Cloth Nappies. I had my daughter in other brand cloth nappies and would always have leaks. Hippybottomus there are no leaks even over night. Super easy to adjust and use. The prints are also adorable. Would not buy any other cloth nappies. Highly recommend these nappies. Show details
LOVE LOVE LOVE! – We brought one of the stash packs, back in 2019 when we were expecting our first. We've used them for years and used the same batch for our second child. These nappies have seen hundreds of washes, multiple bums and are still going strong! They're so versatile, fitting our newborn, then toddler. We love the styles available (love the denim… Read more
styled one) and how easy they are to wash - I was initially daunted by the prospect of washing them, but they have been easy to keep clean and our children have NEVER had nappy rash. I've recommended them to so many mums! Cloth is not hard, especially if you use Hippies.
Best reusable nappies – Love them, they are such a great product. Wish someone came up with this idea earlier. I always have two spares in my colette baby nappy bag. Show details · 1
Wow! So impressed! Officially made the switch....no more land fill nappies ever again. ♡ – I wish I discovered these sooner! The decision to transition from disposable nappies with baby 3 was sooooo daunting! But now I dont know what I was worried about, I am so happy with hippybottomus. We haven't looked back. They do everything they say, fit newborn perfectly, leak proof even overnight and inserts dry quickly. She loves them as they… Read more · 1
don't irritate at all, unlike even the best organic eco single use nappies...and the bonus make her tush look sooooo cute. My only regret is not finding hippybottomus sooner...it has been best decision.
BEST cloth nappies on the market! – Great fit, comfortable, no leakage, no odours, easy to use. Inserts are very absorbable (also use at night), material still feels dry. Nappies/inserts are very quick drying. Colours/patterns are gorgeous Show details · 1
Fantastic Product and Great Service – I cannot fault these nappies or this company. They are great value for money and I highly recommend. The website has some great tips from the newborn hack to the care instructions. I have also been able to contact someone via social media to ask questions about the care of the nappies and I get quick and knowledgeable responses. The patterns are… Read more · 1
fun and funky and have used since Bub was a new born with no issues. I also use the swim nappies and they are great- no blow outs or leaks yet! Thank you for a wonderful product and wonder service and keep up the great work!
Lovely soft fun nappies – We have the best fit from our Hippybottomus nappies. Easy for both myself and husband to use. He actually grabs the hippy’s over any others. Lovely soft shells. I do recommend adding an insert in with the microfibre for absorbency. We still use a microfibre for flooding. They are a super affordable option for cloth nappying. We have no issues putting them through a hot wash and our elastics are still going strong even at 20 months old. Show reply
So far so good – First time using cloth nappies. Overall happy with the purchase. A little on the pricey side but I guess I’ll make that money back by not having to purchase disposables. Delivery took a little while which is understandable. Overall pretty happy with this purchase. Show details · 1
Leak terrible – We purchased a Recommended Nappy Stash and until our son was mobile they were great. When he started crawling the nappies leaked a bit around the legs. Now that he is walking they are unusable. He and his clothes are drenched the second he does a wee in the nappy. I have always followed a strict cloth nappy routine (dry pailing, water not too hot… Read more
to compromise the waterproof layer, wash every second day etc) and have done strip washes to try and help so I’m not sure what’s happened to them. I have previously contacted the company for tips on this but other than checking that they are a good fit on my son there was no real advice or answer as to why they were leaking. I doubled up the inserts to try and make them usable but as my son was new to walking this looked very uncomfortable and bulky and he found it very hard to walk with such a massive nappy between his little legs. I am so disappointed as I spent a LOT of time researching which nappy brand we would buy since cloth nappies are such an investment. Sadly though these nappies are unusable and we now use the best disposables we can for the environment full time now as purchasing a full time pack of cloth nappies again is not in the budget. Perhaps the ones I received were older stock as I requested only three plain colours for my stash and maybe over time they aren’t very good. I have checked the inside of each nappy though to see if the waterproof layer looks damaged or is peeling and I can’t see that they are. I don’t want to slander the company I just want to write this review so anyone who is considering this brand is aware that this might happen when your child is on the move.
It is leaking – Hi guys unfortunately these nappies are leaking, I am sad that i have purchased 24 nappies and these are leaking from the sides. Easy to use, easy to clean, great idea to use them because I don't like to use disposable nappies but not great it is leaking I am really concerned my daughter is 3 months now and I cannot imagine when she is grown-up a little bit the leaking would be crazy than even if I change the nappies very often.

Fabulous nappies – I was bought a trial pack as a gift. They were too big for my 3kg baby initially. By the time she was almost 3m old and 4.5kg they fit her well. Very easy to use, easy to size. Super soft on the inside. Come out clean from the washing machine and dry much quicker than some brands. I have been using them overnight also with no issues. Only had one… Read more
leak and that was when the nappy had been on for 12 hours overnight when I forgot to change her when she woke at 3am for a feed. Love the patterns and feel and have upgraded to full time stash.
Best so far – I previously gave this 1 star as they leaked at the front, but I kept using them anyway as I had to and it seems after more washes/use the problem went away! Now they are my favourite nappies as they never leak and out of the 4 other brands I have - pea pods, bambino mio, designer bums and eco naps, hippybottomus wins hands down. They have the… Read more
absolute best fit out of the lot. Been using them for over 2 months now on my 9mth old son. Best value for money too.
