Birth to potty, AIO, that dries quickly?

[Laucu]

Does such a nappy exist?

I am pregnant with number 3, would love to cloth nappy again but am concerned about the amount of laundry as I don't have a dryer.

I need something quick and easy to use... Used Popins with my other two but sold them as I didn't think I'd have any more babies!

I know about bumgenius, but what else is out there these days?

I don't think there is such a thing. Any AIO nappy which is really absorbent, is not going to dry quickly. Also so called 'Birth to potty' nappies, don't usually fit from birth, and often won't fit neil potty training. In addition, AIO's are not very efficient at containment until after weaning. Sorry to be so negative.

On the other hand, if you use a 2 part system, that is much more efficient, and works much better especially for newborns. So much more efficient than both AIOs or disposables, so you will cut back on washing outer garments and bedding, if you decide to opt for a 2 part system (separate nappy and wrap) You often end up with little more washing than you would have with leaks from disposables

Bgs dry the fastest of all my AIO's but they leak the most as well and can't even handle my almost 4 mo's nights.... always wake up wet when using them. I've also tried smart bottoms and blueberry simplex I've had some leaks with the blueberry but not as many as Bgs and they take the longest to dry. My smart bottoms dry in the middle less than blueberry but more than Bgs I've had maybe one or two leak throughs with those but I just got a imagine pocket and it is AMAZING didn't think I would like it since I really don't like pockets but it wicks away so well I couldn't even tell it was wet till I touched the insert on the inside it hasn't leaked yet honestly it's done really well. I might be getting more for night sleeps. Hope this helps in some way though I highly doubt any of them would have fit my lo if I tried those first few days 6lbs 4oz at birth.

Thanks for your input, ladies!

Yes I used bumgenius with my first and remember them leaking. My pop ins were great they never leaked but they were bamboo so took ages to dry!

If I were to do the baby thing over again, I would buy bamboo flats and whatever covers took my fancy. I adore bamboo and if it was just a flat sheet of that fabric I could get it to dry quicker, and have the option of folding it onto baby with a snappi, or folding into a pad as baby got bigger.

I have been using cotton prefolds and they are very easy and hardy (I got them secondhand and they have also done both of my kids and are still soft and white) but they take ages to dry. I also have bamboo inserts but they do take ages to dry don't they?
