The nappy is Hook & Loop Fastening, which is basically a velcro waist and has poppers to adjust to fit the size of the child. It has bamboo, cotton and minky blend fabric interior and fits from 8lbs to 35lbs.
It has very soft fabric on the outside and has a good stretch to fit round the waist.
Here is a little video from Tots Bots about their V2 version. This nappy is slightly different in its fabric components but gives you a good idea about the layout of the nappy, as the V4 version is also an all in one nappy which means the boosters are all attached. the video also models the velcro and poppers.

Now onto my experience with this nappy. When it arrived it came very well packaged and beautifully laid out. You will see from the pictures below how the nappy is ready to put straight on the bum however for absorbency reasons I would suggest washing first. Tots bots recommend 40 degrees for wet and 60 degrees for soiled with non bio powder. For tips on storing and washing dirty nappies watch this Tots Bots video.

For storing my dirty nappies, I have two buckets with mesh liners. This is a great system as when one bucket is full, I remove the mesh bag, place it straight into the washing machine, take the bucket straight to the bathroom soaking it in the bath with Cillit Bang foam and rinse it out 30 mins or so later. This prevents and removes any smells and while its drying the other bucket is ready to use.
Now this is my system and you don't actually need two buckets but this is what works for us and I know that Charlotte's room is smell free and also know that any bacteria has been killed. I would recommend that if you use my method, that you thoroughly rinse your bucket after using any detergent or cleaning agent as you don't want it to affect your nappies.
I have two different types of buckets one that came with my Baba & Boo Bundle and the other is a Tots Bots click lid that I bought from The Nappy Lady website. I must say I do prefer Tots Bots Nappy Bucket. The click lid means that Charlotte cannot open it and it also makes it easier bringing the bucket downstairs to the washing machine when it is full. I also use wet bags for when we are out of the house.
So back to the Nappy...
