If you’re after a pocket-style reusable nappy, don’t want to sacrifice on looks and have the cash to splash, the Blueberry One Size Pocket Nappies are a great choice. Because they're adjustable, they last from birth to potty training and wash well, too.
The Blueberry range of nappies is from the US, and is made by the same people who make Swaddlebees nappies. There are different nappies in the range, but the One Size takes you from birth to potty training, as it has rows of poppers on the front to adjust the ‘rise’ (the length of the nappy).
The nappy’s made of very soft velour, with a microfleece inner, and a waterproof lining inside the pocket. There’s a pocket down the full length of the inside of the nappy, into which you slide the insert, which is made of a layer of hemp and one of microfibre.
What we love
These nappies look amazing, and come in a fantastic range of designs. Some call this the Rolls Royce of pocket nappies, and it really is gorgeous, but it comes at a Rolls Royce price, too!
It’s brilliant that they last from birth to potty training.
The boosters are made from hemp and microfibre, so you get a double whammy of absorbency.
What to watch out for
As with all one size nappies, you might have to wait a few weeks until your teeny newborn fills out enough to wear them.
Blueberries are prohibitively expensive - you can buy almost a whole pack of some other nappies for the price of one Blueberry!
I found that the inserts provided didn’t provide quite enough absorbency if you don’t want to change every two hours, and had to add a booster.
It’s also a shame that they’re not UK-made, as you’re upping your carbon footprint by buying nappies made and shipped from overseas.
Who are Blueberry One size pocket nappies best for?
Mums happy to pay for style and good looks.
MadeForMums verdict
These nappies are absolutely lovely, and a big hit with mums, but the price is a bit off-putting! If you do splash out, you won’t be disappointed as they wash really well, look great and are effective.
