• You can choose which flip insert to use, stay dry (microfibre) or organic (organic cotton)
• You don't have to change the flip nappy cover with each nappy change, just change the insert
• Because you only need roughly 1 cover to every 3-4 inserts they are very, very economical!
• The flip organic cotton inserts dry pretty quick because they fold out into a big flat square
• You can choose between hook & loop or snaps
• The Flip cover is one of the best one-size nappy covers around and can be used with most brands of inserts or flat nappies
• Flip disposable inserts add that extra bit of convenience when it's needed, and they're pretty eco too!

We're sure there's some more good things but that'll do for now  If you haven't tried Flip then give them a go, they really are very good nappies!

Flip Stay Dry Day Pack with FREE DISPOSABLES	Flip Stay Organic Pack with FREE DISPOSABLES

Introducing the new generation Pop-in nappy by Close (formerly Close Parent).  Soon to be hitting UK shelves, available in +minkee +bamboo and a range of prints and colours.  So what's new we hear you ask?  New bright colours, fabulous prints which is a first for the Pop-in nappy, no more version 2's or version 3's which was a little confusing, new cover materials, new anti leak protection, improved sizing and less poppers.

The new Pop-in colours

The new Pop-in Nappy will be available in the same popular unisex pastels as the previous version of the nappy but also new funky bright colours too.

The new Pop-in Prints

Turtles, monkeys and owls.  These fab prints look really stunning in real life!  Bright colours with funky friendly animal prints, we can't wait to get our hands on these ones.  Which is your favourite?

The new Pop-in Nappy

The new Pop-in nappy itself is a one size birth to potty nappy available in +bamboo or +minkee, +bamboo for natural and more absorbent fibres or +minkee for super fast drying.  The sizing has been improved compared to the old bamboo version which could get a little tight on bigger babies.  Each nappy comes with 1 outer shell, 1 soaker pad and and 1 booster pad and all the parts are held in place with poppers.  The Pop-in nappy has long been a favourite of ours and many of the features remain unchanged however there are some clever and significant improvements.  The outer shell has a plethora of new fabrics inside with hydrophobic material around the leg gusset to prevent leaks, anti-wicking material around the edges and a small absorbent panel in the middle to keep moisture in the centre.  Stretchy Velcro fastenings, double leg gusset and simple poppers on the front to adjust the size.

+Bamboo

Why choose Pop-in nappies with bamboo inside?  Bamboo is a natural fabric which has lots of useful properties.  Bamboo is anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, hypoallergenic, naturally breathable and very very absorbent, up to 3-4 times more so than cotton.  Bamboo cloth next to your baby's bottom keeps baby feeling nice and comfortable, cool in summer and warm in winter.  Bamboo is the perfect for choice for babies who suffer from skin allergies, eczema or rashes.  All these wonderful properties make bamboo an ideal fabric for a reusable nappy, however there is a price to be paid, bamboo does take longer to dry than synthetic fabrics.

+Minkee

Why choose Pop-in nappies with minkee inside?  The big advantage that the Pop-in +minkee has is the incredibly fast drying time, just a few hours and it can be air dried.  For parents with limited drying facilities this is big help.  The first thing you notice about minkee fabric is how lovely and soft it is and it stays soft even after washing.  The minkee fabric wicks moisture away from baby's skin quickly keeping their bottoms feeling dry.  Minkee nappies aren't as absorbent as bamboo nappies so they will need to be changed more frequently. (+minkee replaces the previous Dream Dri nappy)

So in conclusion the new generation Pop-in nappy sees some improvements to a nappy that already has a great track record as a favourite "stash" nappy.  Close have made the choice for parents easier by doing away with the different "versions" of the nappy and making the benefits of +bamboo or +minkee clearer.  There's a nicer choice of colours and some great limited edition prints for those who want to show off their fluff!

We don't have an exact release date but as soon as we do we'll let you know!  In the mean time there are some ridiculous prices on the soon the be discontinued Pop-in Bamboo V2 and Pop-in Dream Dr V3

Earlier in the year bumGenius announced a range of new products including the new bumGenius "freetime" nappy which is due to be released in the UK later this year.  From the outside the freetime nappy appears just the same as the bumGenius V4, one size from birth to potty, the same waterproof outer, the colours are the same and you can choose from Hook & Loop or Popper closures.  However open the nappy up and things look rather different.  Inside the freetime nappy are two soaker pads sewn in at opposite ends which each have a stay dry top layer and there's a soft sued fleece inner layer designed to wick moisture away from baby's skin.

So the big difference over the bumGenius V4 is that there is no pocket which means NO STUFFING.  Just use, wash, dry and use again . . . . simple.  The bumGenius freetime nappy really could not be easier to use, perfect for childcare and dads!

Key features of the bumGenius freetime

• One size - poppers on the front adjust the size from birth to potty, 8-35lbs
• Patented stretchy butterfly tabs with hook and loop or popper fastening give a nice snug fit
• All in one design, no stuffing
• Gentle leg elastic around the leg and waist prevent leaks and mess
• Microfibre inserts sewn in at opposite ends offer customisable absorbency where you need it most
• Fleece top layer keeps you baby's bottom dry

The bumGenius freetime will be available in the UK in the coming months and will be available in 15 colours including 2 fantastic prints.  We recently got our hands on this new Sassy red sample and we got to see the prints in real life, and they do look very nice indeed.  More details on the new colours to come shortly

The Pop-In nappy has always been a favourite of ours and this summer will see the launch of the latest version of the Pop-in and a sleek new image for the "Close" company, currently known as Close Parent.   We will also see the release of the new Close "Caboo" Carrier which replaces the incredibly popular Close Baby Carrier.

New Generation Pop-in Nappy

What we're most excited about though is the New Generation or Version 4 Pop-in Nappy which will be available in bamboo or minky (minky replaces the Dream Dri).  The New Generation Pop-in will be a one-size birth to potty nappy with 4 size settings and an aplix fastening.  Similar to the current design but with a unique absorbent panel inside the cover of the nappy giving an extra level of absorbency and some fabulous new colours.  Our favourite features are still there like the double leg gusset and "pop-in" and out design of the soaker pads.  The choice of Bamboo or Minky microfiber makes the Pop-In a versatile choice for any parent offering super absorbency or super fast drying times, we usually recommend a mix of both.  Here's a bit from Close Parent.

"Why dispose when you can pop-in?

Over the years many parents have chosen to just Pop-in, rather than throw away.

Pop-in's are as comfortable on your new born as they are on your nipper, and bridge the journey from first nappy to potty training.

You can pop-in at home or on the go, our flushable liners make changing a doddle... and during those dream filled nights our unique night time booster can help keep your little one comfortable and dry.

We hope you enjoy your Pop-in's, we think they are just "Close" common sense . . . .

We think awards are nice but we think happy mums, dads and babies are the bes accolade we can receive."

There are some new colours on the way too, first to be released will be the signature Pop-In pastel colours and later in the year we'll see some nice bright colours.  We have also heard a sneaky rumour that there are some Pop-in nappy prints or patterns in the pipeline, not that we'd like to see! !

New Close Caboo Carrier

Caboo (urban definition, to be close to someone) is the new name for the Close Baby Carrier . Weight range is from 5-32lbs at the Close Caboo shares all of the features that made the Close Carrier so popular but with some small changes which make it easier to use and offer more support.  As always it's made from 100% organic cotton too.  So keep your hands free, your baby feeling safe and secure and get on with enjoying life.

New nappies, new colours, new funky image and a new carrier, some great things from Close to get excited about!  The New Generation Pop-in bamboo and minky will be available later this summer as will the new Caboo carrier. "Like" our facebook page to keep up to date with release dates and more info, we'll be after some testers soon
