After Babybeehinds and Kushies diapers it is now Lotties’s turn for a test. This diaper is available in three versions: Soft, Tendy and Organic. The differences are particularly in the design and velcro or press buttons.
Lotties Soft washable nappies
Name test diaper: Lotties Soft
Size: S (3-7 kilo)
Colour: off white
Test status baby: The baby is now nine weeks old and weighs 6 kilos. He poops not every diaper is full, but usually two or three times a day a big load. He pees a lot.
| First impression | Velcro Again! That’s nice! The diaper is very soft, but especially the pad looks very thick. I wonder if that will fit between those little legs. The Lotties diaper consists of an insert (with membrane), an elongated pad, a diaper and pull over pants. The diaper shape resembles a towel and looks somewhat boring. Because the replacement pad is quite thick, it is quite a measurement to ensure that the pad is well in the diaper and the diaper can be closed. The diaper consists of quite a few units so it is a bit of a puzzle. But it goes faster every time. The film with the poop can be flushed the toilet. The diaper feels moist after a pee and so the baby wants to be changed more frequently. |
|---|---|
| Price | A test kit with all parts cost 24.50 euros. |
| Fit | Because this nappy has Velcro the size is very well adjustable. Because the diaper is thicker you need the Velcro to ensure that the diaper fits well around the legs. |
| Leakage and absorption | The cover pants are necessary to prevent leakage. After a big pee the entire diaper soaked. I also have the diaper shortly after birth. His legs were really too thin so the diaper was not properly fitted and therefore always leaked. Only now the baby weighs about 6 kilos this diaper works. The entire diaper absorbs moisture. Because the fabric feels moist the baby cries for a clean diaper more often. |
| Fabric | The Lotties soft diaper consists of organic cotton frottee (soft terry cloth) and has a reinforced core modal suction (compacted cellulose fibers from wood), making it more absorbent. Also available in two sizes and has a short drying time. The cover pants are made of microfibre. |
Conclusion
This is the thickest diaper that we have been testing. But it is also the most ecological diaper. For real ecomamas this is like the perfect diaper. This diaper regarded as ‘very good’ in the OKO test. The diaper is made of organic cotton and no harmful coloring has been used.
I think that a baby potty trained faster with this kind of diaper. Because the baby feels the wet diaper better and is more aware of peeing and pooping.
Tip for new cotton nappy users
Try a set! Lotties also has a sample pack. So you convince yourself.
