I’d been interested to try reusable nappies for a while but had been put off by the cost, the mind-boggling variety of styles, and the thought of all the extra washing. When I came across this £10 trial I decided to have a go - safe in the knowledge that I’d be able to get a refund if I didn’t like any or all of the nappies.

In fact, I’ve been really pleasantly surprised. We haven’t had a single leak (compared with fairly frequent leaks using disposables). The night nappy has also been a game-changer in helping us get through the night without a nappy change. Hooray!

Yes, there is more washing to do but it’s not overwhelming and it feels worth it to reduce our waste and find an environmentally friendlier alternative to disposables. I wish I’d tried them sooner!

I was totally overwhelmed by all the different types, materials and brands of cloth nappy on the market and had no idea where to start! The more I researched, the more overwhelmed I got, it also seemed that everyone had differing advice. I then stumbled across the FYP nappy trial and it was just what I needed to provide some clarity!

They sent me a pack of beautiful nappies really quickly, each was a different type, material and brand so it allowed me to find the ones that worked best for me. I soon found out that things I had originally thought were important to me (like speed of drying), were not so important, and that actually performance (including containment under compression) were far more relevant. I also found that some fit the shape of my baby and others didn't, something I’d never have worked out by taking advice from others.

I would absolutely recommend this trial to anyone. I feel way better informed now and am ready to start purchasing the nappies which are right for my baby and I.

I am loving this trial! The combination of types is really well thought out giving a good overview of the different types of cloth nappies. It is still a tricky decision as to which ones I will go with as I haven't had any real issues with any of them. I am currently leaning towards the Bambino Mio AIO though I love the patterns of the Thirsties and the cheapness of the Alva. Thanks FYP team

This trial has been absolutely brilliant. I'd been thinking for a while I'd like to try reusable nappies but was a bit bamboozled by all the choices and different types on offer. This gave me an opportunity to try a variety of popular nappies to see which I preferred before committing and buying in one type in bulk. I thought I'd prefer all-in-one nappies but when I started using my trial nappies I discovered I preferred all-in-twos.

It's great being able to use each type and learn about washing, drying, absorbency etc for yourself, there's no better way to learn about reusable nappies! In my opinion this trial scheme has been worth every penny.

Really pleased with this trial kit - 7 to try giving a good variety which is also manageable. Would have been nice to have more than one insert for the Grovia and Milovia but this is a minor point! Definitely recommend this for anyone looking to try reusables. Always had quick and really helpful replies from the FYP team when I had questions.

Great trial, good selection of things to try out and get used to cloth. A nappy bag would have been useful as part of the 'experience' as its definitely become part of our routine now

It's been great testing these nappies out on our 1 month old.
Even though some don't quite fit properly yet, the grovia hybrids work wonderfully, as does the bamboo little lamb, the tots bots easy fit and the mio solo. The quality of the inserts in these all feel superior to the others too.

This kit is the perfect way to enter into the world of reusable nappies. Having just had a second baby I really wanted to use reusable but every time I looked into it when pregnant I felt overwhelmed by the variety of options available. This kit is perfect for working it out. Trying to work out the best fit, best for drying, best absorbancy etc can only be done to suit u and your baby like this. I really recommend it. I also found the support of the company perfect in the first few days when I had questions, responses were super speedy by email.

I’m almost finished my 30 day trial and am a cloth convert! The main thing I was nervous about was how they would cope with EBF poo explosions, but they actually contain it better than disposables do. It’s been a warm summer so it’s been easy to wash and dry the nappies and won’t be as easy in normal British weather, but i’ll hopefully be in a routine by then! I’m going to keep all the nappies, and will buy some more AIOs and Alvas at the end of the trial. I like the Grovia as well but am a bit put off by how long they take to dry. I’ve been very impressed with the service from FYP too - my queries were answered promptly and my nappies arrived quickly. The only thing that would make the trial better would be if a bucket / bag to keep the nappies was provided (even if it makes the trial a bit more expensive). I’m keeping them in a plastic bag until I buy one but there’s a definite smell of pee in the room!

A great way to test out a range of nappy types and brands and means you can work out which work best for you before investing. If you are unsure whether cloth will work for you, I recommend the trial. I would not have tried otherwise but now plan to continue using.
