It's conclusive - Reusable Nappies are more environmentally friendly than disposable nappies. The Environment Agency updated their controversial report at the end of 2008.
Reusable nappies can reduce damaging emissions by up to 40%.

On a very brief aquantaince I definitely like these. They're absorbant, dry fast and clean easily so with autumn/winter I'm going to have to invest in some more.
I have also measured them up against my other size 2 Tots and they are definitely bigger, so I'm hoping they will last til potty training - this could actually be Tots first proper birth to toddler nappy!
These dry incredibly fast and are a nice soft absorbant nappy. I'm not sure if they are any better than the bamboozle but I do prefer them to standard totsbots.
Fab nappy, dries super quickly, stays soft even in our hard water and looks really cute!
I really love my popper fluffles and haven't had a single problem with them. They can be a bit bulky though and sometines the clothes I have picked out for him don't fit round his big fat pants!
Love these nappies, one of the best around. Very absorbent, very soft, very fast drying - what more do you want!
Fluffles are FAB! Stay so luxuriously soft and look so posh! Dry so quick too, will def being emptying the piggy bank for some more of these!

I have bought a couple of the Fluffles and I am very impressed so far. I was wondering if anyone was using them during the very hot weather. Did babies get hot and sweaty wearing 100% polyester?
Hey I live in a very hot country and wouldn't put my son in one. Also I find them just too big for his clothes! Quick drying though.
I like fluffles, they are reliable and really fast drying. They need some prewashing to become fully absorbant. I am still using size 1 nippas on my 8 m.o. 18lb daughter, they are not that bulky but we'll probably need to move to size 2 soon. I like that they have an attached fleece lining. The main fabric of the nappy stays brilliant white however the elastic bindings on the fleece liners have stained. I would advise using motherease airflow wraps not tots pul as I found it hard to get a good seal around the legs of tots wraps. My daughter is a real wriggler so I'm contemplating popper fastening size 2s, easier than nippaing a flailing baby!
We had one of these to try and it gave my little boy red skin everytime we tried it. He had no trouble with any of the cotton nappies we tried on him, so it must have been the material.
It was an OK fit, although I found a bit bulky for my taste. Very fast drying, only my pocket nappies dry as quickly, but overall not a favourite and definately not for us.
I absolutely loooove my fluffles! Dry in no time and are sooo soft and, well, the word "fluffy" actually says it all :-)
Don't understand what went wrong for me then after reading above..........I HATE fluffles!!! I bought 5 alongside my Bamboozles (which I have had a great relationship with) and have found them totally useless! They have continually leaked and don't seem to actually absorb any urine at all (totally unlike the super absorbant Bamboozle) it just ran straight out of the leg holes! Am ditching mine to buy more Bamboozles!
I like the one fluffle I have in my collection although I wouldn't use it in hot weather. It dries very quickly and I can imagine it lasting for sometime due to it's generous size, but be warned it is bulky!
very soft nappy, but huge - much bigger than cotton tots of the same size, and don't seem to be any more absorbent. Comes out of the washing machine almost dry, but then seems to take quite a while to get completely dry
very quick drying but bulky and a bit sweaty. (must be like wearing polyester knickers all the time!) i sold all of mine
As a previous poster said, they come out of the washer pretty dry but then the elasticated seams take quite a while longer (still quicker than anything else I've used though). However, I really like them for indoor drying in winter because they must release less moisture into the house - we've had damp problems in the past so this is key for us.
That's why I use them most of the time but they are not without drawbacks. Main one is red bottom sometimes, especially on hot days but also when carried in sling for long at a time. Also, their bulk can make it tricky to find outer clothing that fits.
The fold-out booster makes them a good shape for easy drying - I just dangle them by the booster, so only one clothes peg used and not too much space on the washing line. (Of course this is a common shape for lots of shaped nappies.)
The new style fluffles have a shaggy pile and IMO are much nicer than the old ones which are shorter pile and sort of velvetty. If buying fluffles second hand with no picture, worth checking first that they are the newer version if you share this preference (not sure when Tots Bots redesigned them).
Sorry, just wanted to add that they seem to have a high resale value (often £6 or even £6.50) so I am considering using them for September to April and then using cotton nappies in the summer when drying is no problem.
These dry very quickly, and are absorbent but I was disappointed with how HUGE they were - they must be the bulkiest nappy I've tried!!
I have cloth nappied two babies now (#2 is 13 mths) and these are the best I have come across so far.
I used meos (motherease one size) mainly for son #1 and they worked well but when they started to wear out for son#2 I started looking for something else.
The tots bots fluffles seemed to fit the bill in a number of ways:
1:They are very quick drying. Although I have a tumble dryer, the meos were taking over two hours in the dryer which in my book is too long. Also if you choose to air dry they remain gorgeously soft.
2:They are bigger than meos so therefore should fit for longer. My older son grew out of meos before potty trained
3:They do a non aplix version. I hate aplix as it sticks to everything and wears out before the nappy does.
4: Like meos they are two part, I've tried pockets and all-in-ones without sucess.
I have been using these nappies now for a couple of months and I am absolutely in love with them!
They are the first nappy that I have come across that I am more confident with (absorbancy and containment wise) than I am with a disposable.
My son is so comfortable with these, never any red marks, no nappy rash since using them. No ammonia smell in the morning (after a 12 hour wearing) that I used to get with cotton nappies. Never any leaks even when wearing a fleece wrap at night.
These nappies need quite a few washes before they reach full absorbancy, so do not be discouraged if at first they leak.
I do not use the booster that comes with the nappy. During the day I boost with a folded microfibre nappy (actually a towel I got cheap and cut into squares) and I use this plus the tots bots booster at night. This combination for me is bullet proof.
The fleece pocket that the nappy has makes it very easy to boost this nappy in advance of using it, so nappy changes now are very quick, even for a two part nappy.
After two months these nappies look like new still, no stains and still white. I am pretty confident these nappies will do for another baby easily.
I have yet to see how these will do in hot weather, but I have bought some extremely cute wacky wraps which are made of highly breathable material that I am going to put him in on hot days without anything else on. I think that this combination has to be cooler than wearing a plasticky disposable! I still have my meos which I could revert back to temporarily if necessary so we'll have to see.
My set are all nippas apart from one popper one. I much prefer the nippa, it is much quicker to put on ( I can never find the poppers in the fluffiness!), and much more adaptable.
Yes, my son's bum has grown since using these nappies! But, I don't mind at all, I have adapted his wardrobe to suit. He can still wear jeans, the fluffiness seems to compress under tighter trousers so bums do not look quite as big! Actually the looser his trouser are the bigger his bottom appears!
Great nappy - I wish I'd found these earlier. The size 1 fits great on my LO even now she's 17lbs and the size 2 nippa version folds to fit her neatly too. They are great for breastfed poo, not had a single leak, and they dry so fast that I've managed with about 15 of these full time. I also love the giant fluffy bum that they give her - I find it weird when she's not wearing one now.
very soft, very pretty but they stink after 8 months use. They do dry quick though.
