Minki: Slinki Minki and Standard Minki

These pouched nappies come in two versions and a variety of fabric and sizes. To avoid confusion we have highlighted the main features of the two styles below:

Standard Minki
  • High in the rise, fitting high up on the waist
  • Generously cut at the waist with overlapping waist tabs
  • Wide cut over the hips to accomodate generous stuffing
  • Styling allows generous padding for overnight use and heavy wetters

    • Slinki Minki
  • Shorter in the rise to give a trimmer fit
  • Tabs meet but no overlap of Aplix, meaning less bulky round waist
  • Trimmer cut over hips to give less bulk
  • Good for when a trimmer look is needed, also reduces bulk for slimmer babies.
  • Newborn size available for tiny babies

    • Sizes available, weight guide

    Newborn (Slinki Minki only) to fit 5-10lb (2.3-4.5kg) £9.99
    Small to fit 9-15lb (4-7kg) £9.99
    Medium to fit 14-20lb (6-9kg) £10.99
    Large to fit 18-38lb max (8-17kg max) £11.99
    XL to fit 35lb+ (16kg+) £13.99
    Minkis: Standard Minkis Minkis: Standard Minkis

    Minkis are a pocket nappy system with a polyester fleece or polyvelvet outer with polyurethane laminate waterproofing layer inside, and an inner fleece layer inside of that with the back of the fleece layer unattached making the pouch or pocket. The inner pocket may be stuffed with a hemp or micro insert, terry square or a prefold. The Large size will accomodate a 60cm square terry. However stuffing this pocketed nappy can be fiddly as the back pouch opening can be a tight fit for larger hands. Fastens with Aplix brand hook and loop fastening

    May be washed at 40 or 60 and as they have no absorbency they will line or hang dry extremely quickly, although they could be tumble dried on low. We recommend doing up the Aplix and turning inside out for washing to avoid the Aplix hook and loop fastening from picking up fluff and sticking to other washing and also to help prevent the fleece outer from bobbling (the poly velvet isn't so prone to bobbling)

    Made in Scotland in the Outer Hebrides, the Standard Minki pouched nappies covers are available in a variety of fabric and four sizes.

    Sizes available, weight guide

    Small to fit 9-15lb (4-7kg) £9.99
    Medium to fit 14-20lb (6-9kg) £10.99
    Large to fit 18-38lb max (8-17kg max) £11.99
    XL to fit 35lb+ (16kg+) £13.99

    Microinserts, Hourglass Microinserts, Hourglass
    Made of three layers of microfibre terry, these British made slim fitting hourglass shaped pads are designed to suit your Fuzzi Bunz, Stuffable or Happy Heinys, the hourglass shape giving maximum absorbency yet still a slim fit. Microfibre absorbes between the fibres rather than in the fibres themselves as in cotton. It is correspondingly much lighter being a man-made fibre, and looks slim in use. Dries very quicky. Two sizes: Small to fit Small Fuzzi/Stuffables/Happy Heinys and Large to fit larger sizes Medium, Petite Toddler, Large, XLarge.

    Important Note: If we are out of stock of the hourglass inserts (which, being British made we prefer to sell) we will substitute these with rectangular inserts of similar capacity eg Fuzzi Bunz or Happy Heinys inserts.  


    Price: £2.50

        Washing Note:

        This hemp product has been professionally washed and dried once, and further shrinkage may occur. It will need up to 8 more washings and dried before it is fully absorbent. When washing your hemp the first few times do NOT wash it with any fleece products. Hemp has natural oils in it and the oils can coat your fleece. After your hemp has been fully primed you may wash it with all of your nappies.
