I have one that I bought on special at the P&C show last year. We have only used it a couple times and it's always held up okay, no leaks. The prefold that they supplied with it is hard to fold to the right size to fit into the cover though. We have to do it, then pull it out and keep adjusting it. With practice I'm sure you'd learn where to fold it so that it does fit properly but I have since bought other nappies and find them a bit easier.

I don't know if they gave us the wrong size insert for the cover or whether that's standard but it just makes it a little tricky.

I've tried one once and found a similar problem to Freesia.

I think there are many other systems out there that are much easier to use.

i didnt find it hard to fold the prefold into a rectangular shape...just half and half again. I prefer to use a snappi with my prefolds tho as a pad folded prefold always seemed to shift or bunch after a while. their covers are quite good, nice and soft, and the prefolds can be used as pocket inserts later if you change systems.

Yeah I used them when Fay was young, it was a bit fiddly but I found it easier to use a snappi and then a cover, if I just folded them they ruched up during wear. The medium cover I got when i upsized still fits Fay and is great at night over pockets as extra insurance

personally I found their prefolds to be big and bulky. I now have other prefolds which work much better. They provide a slimmer fit.

The covers are a Bummis Super Whisper Wrap - rebranded to Real Nappy and only come in the white.

I use prefolds from Real Nappies, and I like them, but I do use a snappi to hold the nappy closed. I prefer the Totsbots wraps, as they have a leg gusset and just seem to fit better around the legs.

I use Real Nappies - flats and wraps. Have found them to be really easy to use, no leaks and I love the way the are dry in no time :) Was going to look at other MCNs but have decided to upgrade to mediums as my daughter is starting to get too big for the smalls!

I love them. I prefer to fold my flats into them though as opposed to the prefolds, but thats just me. Have used them on 2 now.
