Baby Beehinds

Baby beehinds make a variety of nappies from the original fitted nappies in bamboo and hemp through to their all in one: Magic-alls.

Magic-alls were formerly made by Wonderoos who sold the rights to Baby Beehinds who have altered the design.

I love these nappies.. i have a 55%hemp 45% organic cotton one and find it perfect for my 13 month old boy. It;s easy to put on, and will definately fit until he potty trains. Its excellent for nightime use and I've never had a leak.

It has two tongues, one small one that poppers towards the back of the nappy, and one long one to the front. You can put the smaller one at the front if you're using the nappy for a young baby.

Drying doesn't seem to take too long and you can tumble if you want. The nappy I have has softened the more I've used it, although it still stiffens a bit if solely line dried. You only have to rub it to get back its softness though.

The only thing I have against this nappy is that although it's designed in Australia, it's made in China, which, knowing the reputation of slave labour in China puts me off a bit.

I've just bought one of these and it's had it's first outing. I like the cloth, like the fit (good and high for my 2+ yrs son) and it dried really fast too.

I bought one of these, but sold it on because the fit was a bit strange on my boy. It is great idea, but just came up too high on my little one, who is only 5 months old.
I had difficulty using the smaller setting on him, but found the bigger setting was too big. I prefer nappies that are for a smaller size range and have had far fewer problems with fit with this type.

I've got three of these. I'm also an Aussie chick and saw lots of great reviews on Aussie forums. They're a good fit on my long, thin daughter. I find they tend to dry quicker than my other hemp nappies because the booster bits are removable.

I have a bamboo Baby Beehinds. It's very absorbent, which is fab, but takes ages to dry.

One thing to be aware of with these nappies - don't dry them in the tumble dryer on hot, because the poppers melt!

We love our babybeehinds - they make a great night nappy but also work well in the daytime, being slim but absorbent.

One gripe I do have is that for a BTP they come up low in the rise. They have a hipster fit on my 7 month old - who is tall, sure, but not as tall as a toddler.

I think baby beehinds nappies are one of the best.

Plusses: very absorbent - great for night-time, soft, onesize. Very neatly made, with gentle elastic.

Minuses: takes ages to dry, even in the tumble-dryer. The elastic on 2 of 3 nappies that I bought stretched and gaped v quickly, and I'm waiting for baby beehinds to sort it out. (They said they will).

I have the bamboo version and I love it. It's soft and super absorbent. I can use it during the day by leaving out the large booster pad and at night by including the large booster pad. It does take a long time to dry but bamboo nappies generally do so I was prepared for this before purchase. I do agree with freyasmummy regarding size. I am very dubious as to whether this nappy will last my DS much beyond 12 months (he's 18lbs at 4.5 months).

Just a quick update on my previous review. 'Baby Beehinds' posted me 2 new nappies within a few days of getting my complaint. The new nappies elastic is fine, as are the nappies which I've been using for another 3 months now.
I'll add another plus for excellent customer support.

I have two bamboo ones and a hemp one and i love them for nighttime...they are wonderful, i do add either a hemp or bamboo booster with them but i love them...the only problem i find is that the rise is a little low for my daughter...she gets a builders bum by the morning!!

Update to the coment above, i have now sold them all as they are just too small for my 10 month old daughter...not good value for us really...

i love my bamboo beehinds. i have 4 of them and use them mostly for nightimes on my v heavy wetting 20mo, with one additional microfleece booster and a fleece liner inside and a wooliwrap shorties on top... they are the only cloth nappy combo to even come close to doing my son all night!
and sooo cue and soft too

Following on from my comments above. My son has now outgrown this nappy at 9 months (24lb). Very disappointing in that respect. Wouldn't recommended for the chunkier or taller baby.

I really like these nappies. I have a bamboo version in natural and a natural hemp with coloured stitching.
Both nappies dry quite fast because of the separate boosters. I recommend separate boosters to anyone new, they make proper cleaning easier and it all dries so much faster if you can take the nappy to bits.
The fit on these is great with no leakage and excellent absorbency. My only concern is that the nappy may not fit until potty training, as it is perfect on the largest size on my 12 month old.
I was tempted by the coloured versions of the bamboo nappy, but I have already had a colour run with a kiwi nappy and it has put me off coloured nappies, can anyone tell me if the colour is safe on these nappies?

hi i just got my first baby beehinds. i went for the day and night trial kit from their own website. i am so impressed. cust service was great and the wraps are very good quality and actually fit my big bum toddler. the hemp nappy is lovely and is being used on my 4month old with a thirsties wrap with no need for additional boosters other than the ones that came in the nappy itself and although the bamboo is slim on my 2yo it has not leaked (used at night as she is potty trained day times)and she loves it.the bamboo is orange coloured and gorgeous and best of all i chucked it in with my old white towels for its first couple of washes and the colour didnt run one bit. i am definately going to be buying more.

We have been using BBs for 9 mo. now , the bamboo version. I love how soft they are and the fit is good. I think they would fit until our son toilet trains, except that they are wearing out! Of the 36 I bought, 4 are already unusable because they have completely worn through the inner lining and around the snaps. We take very good care of them, only wash with cold water and line dry them, and I am so disappointed that they have worn out so quickly. When I bought them I assumed they would last at least until toilet training, if not for other children to come. As they are one of the most expensive nappies on the market, new buyers should know that they may not last as long as they think.

I HATE my magic-alls (I have four, one pocket, three classics) as they all leak. The PUL used somehow wicks - when my DD (18mths) wets. I change her frequently (every 45/60 minutes) so have learned not to let her wear the magicalls with pants coz they will likely get wet.

I really like the one size bamboo fitted nappies though -- not truely one size though, as they are tight on my tall but very slim 10kg 18 mth old. Good absorbancy though... and getting much use with my newborn.

The covers are OK too - though one of the three I have has had the elastic wear out after 10 months use... disappointing.

The nappies are OK but I would not pay full price for them. I got all mine on sale/clearance (brand new though).
