This 'Bamboozle' nappy is made in a short pile bamboo fibre terry, giving a slimmer but very absorbent and more ecofriendly nappy that is light weight and also very, very soft to touch. Bamboo fibre is also a good heat conductor, and coupled with a fleece or wool wrap will make a cool choice for hot weather and overnight.

Bamboo is very highly eco-friendly. It is easy to cultivate, grows rapidly without the need for chemical pesticides or fertilisers, and is highly biodegradable. Bamboo fibre has naturally antibacterial properties and this fabric has been laboratory tested to confirm its antebacterial properties.

The criss-cross texture of bamboo creates microscopic openings in the fibres and gives exceptional moisture absorption. This bamboo fibre has been tested and shows that up to 60% more moisture is absorbed, and yet it dries in reasonable speed. However although bamboo is generally quicker than cotton to dry, you'll find the styling of the Tots Bots with turned and stitched seams will tend to trap the moisture a bit, making this a relatively slow drying nappy, slower than regular cotton Tots Bots. The farbic itself is of 90% bamboo loop pile terry, and as with teh majority of terry fabric has a polyester content (10%) in the weave of the backing fabric to give strength and lightness and to aid drying time, and also to retain the appearance of the fabric by preventing the loop pile pulling through

The nappy is nicely elasticated for a good leakproof fit, however do be aware the terry fabric is not as stretchy as the usual cotton terry of Tots Bots. Bamboozles are available with Aplix hook and loop or popper fastening in the natural colour.

Care should be taken with bamboo nappies to not wash above 60, or dry on top of a radiator or tumble dry too hot as the fibre will tend to 'cook' a bit and the pile becomes more flat and, if you're folding down and using a Nappi Nippa to secure or have removed the Aplix will loose its ability to be Nappi Nippa'd easily. For this reason the non-Aplix version is now discontinued, however we now also have Popper fastening available too. (+25p) The Size 2 can be folded down outwards at the front and this exposes an inner row of poppers to secure the nappy for a smaller baby.
