Daisy Birds DBK All In One

In my hunt for different all in one nappies, I came across the DaisyBirds DBK. RRP: £9.99 I bought 2 - one in pink and one in blue.

Don't you just love the rainbow overlocking?!

So this is a birth to potty all in one. It has 3 rows of poppers down the front giving 3 different size settings. Popper fastenings, but just 1 row, which gives a bit less manoeuvrability. Made of bamboo, it is pretty absorbent but a bit slow at drying. I panicked when it first arrived as the outside is gorgeous and soft, so I thought it might not be waterproof. But it DEFINITELY is.

Here you can see the 3x3 size adjuster poppers and the single row of poppers along the top for fastening.
The single row of poppers helps to keep things simple, but I really struggle to get a good fit with poppers in general. We've also struggled a bit with the spacing of these; Flower is a skinny baby and needs us to overlap, but the overlap poppers aren't spaced correctly for us to do that. I don't understand why is doesn't work for us, but I'm sure it's just her specific size setting and it'll be fine for bigger babies.

There's one absorbent flap that is permanently attached...

...and one absorbent poppered booster too. Which can be removed for faster drying or to reduce bulk.

Issues:
I really don't get on with popper fastenings, but that is just personal preference. I find it difficult to get a good fit with my wriggly bubba!
The elastics are quite stiff. I haven't noticed any obvious red marks, but with a fatter baby that might be a problem?

Overall
Pros:
No stuffing!
Good absorbency
Good fit on my skinny babe.
Removable booster and flap = faster drying
Pretty rainbow serging.
1 row of poppers means less bunching around the fastening - smoother fit.
Cons:
Only available with popper fastening.
1 row of poppers gives less adjustability than 2 rows that I've used on others.

I've found this to be a pretty fab nappy! I've had no leaks at all, it washes well and dries soft. It does take a while to dry, but as it is bamboo, that's just a payoff for good absorbency. And I've found it much quicker drying than the Totsbots easyfit. For less than a tenner? No brainer!
