Nappy Types
Modern fitted nappies are usually categorised in three types.
All-in-one nappies (AIO) are, as its name suggests, in one piece rather like the disposable. The nappy consists of layers of absorbent material sewn to the waterproof outer layer
advantages:easy-to-use one-piece
disavantages: long drying time because waterproof layer prevents air going through nappy when drying
Pocket nappies are made from a waterproof material on the outside and a single layer of soft fabric on the inside. The nappy has a slot, normally located at the back, where an absorbent insert is fitted in.
advantages: easy to use, super-absorbent materials and very quick to dry
disavantages: made mainly from man-made materials, e.g microterry
Two-part nappy system, the most popular type of nappies, consists of a shaped nappy made entirely from a absorbent material. The nappy then will need to be used with a separate waterproof wrap (also called nappy cover), making it a very reliable system.
advantages: the absorbent area is the entire nappy itself - so bigger absorbent area, and choice of nappies made from natural materials, such as cotton, organic cotton, hemp and bamboo
disavantages: two separate pieces (nappy and wrap) purchased separately
Other more traditional nappies are square terries and prefold nappies
