First impressions:
Great quality, as all Baby Beehinds products are. Good thick PUL, strong elastic, soft minkee. Gotta love 'em! You don't see many nappies with leg gussets like these ones. The leg elastic is in a little from the edge of the leg hole fabric creating a flared effect, like a flower around bub's leg. That may sound a little strange, but it's saved my girls' clothes from escaping poop numerous times! ;)Size/ Fit:
The best thing about sized nappies is the trim fit and lack of tummy bulk and these are no exception. They're not the trimmest nappy around, but for the sake of reliability, I'll take the extra height and leg gussets any day! The overlapping snaps allow for good tummy adjustment on a newborn, but I did find that the leg holes on the small took a little growing into, but that does also mean that my chubby 2 year old still squeezes into her mediums :)
Absorbency:
The 4 layers of microfibre sewn into the nappy were enough for Cha Cha for the first couple of months, but now that she's almost 6 months she needs the included bamboo booster in her smalls. She wets through almost anything, though, so I'm getting the feeling she might be a heavy wetter. Lou Lou, on the other hand still only needs the included booster in her mediums even though she's now 2. The mediums have a larger section of microfibre and a larger booster pad, but I'm wondering if Cha Cha might need more than that.
Washing/ Drying:
I love that there are only 2 pieces to wash and dry. I turn mine inside out so that the sewn in microfibre gets a good wash and sees some sun, and hang them sideways or in the middle to save the leg elastic. Because there are 4 layers sewn in they do take a little longer to dry, but not much longer than a bamboo trifold.
Summary:
These really are one of my favourite nappies. I got mine second hand and they're still going strong and wearing really well. Most of mine are minkee with snaps, but I do sometimes wish they were velcro when bub's wriggling round on the table :)

Great review about these nappies! Funny that you describe them as trim. My daughter is quite petite and I find them very bulky on her! They are indeed very reliable!
Thanks Arina :) That's a good point! My little girls are both on the chubby side, so they fill them out quite well. I was thinking they were trim compared to some of the One Size nappies that I have, but they are also bulky compared to some of the other sized nappies! :)
