Find out what our parent testers thought of Wonderoos V3 reusable nappies.
Tested by mum Sally Dudley for the M&B Awards 2016:
Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?
The outer designs are very attractive, and also gender neutral which is a great idea. However, they were really fiddly to use and didn't fit my baby properly really. I think trying to make a one size nappy is a good idea but when I had it set up, there was a massive amount of bunched up material and it took a couple of attempts to inset all the boosters in a way that they sat straight. Overnight didn't work out well, baby was wet in the morning. I could have added another booster in but I was finding it a hassle enough to get one in and get all the poppers sorted. I do like the poppers though rather than velcro. Less destructive. They were really soft and felt lovely, and of good quality.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
It didn't particularly, as I didn't really trust the fit of it so I was a bit nervous of leaving it on for too long. It was also time-consuming and fiddly to get the boosters in with the nappy on the smallest setting.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
Make different sizes that fit better.

Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?
Fab patterns, excellent quality nappies. These will definitely last 3 years of washing and use. We have used washable nappies for 18 months and these are excellent. Comfortable for my daughter who loves the designs on them and also the boosters are absorbent and good quality.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
Prettier and much better quality than my usual washable nappies. Worth investing in as they will last birth to potty definitely!
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
Excellent product, would purchase more. Good price and good quality.
Tested by mum Fiona Barclay for the M&B Awards 2016:
Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?
The Wonderoos V3 is a really flexible and well thought out cloth nappy solution. This nappy is very absorbent and comfy, we really liked the fit and would recommend this nappy as a one stop shop for a cloth nappy user for someone looking for a nappy to last all the way through to potty training. The designs are really great, I’m loving using them on my girl, and they’d look just as cute on my boy – so perfect for saving to use on younger siblings as a family expands! One thing we especially loved was the soft fleece lining on the leg elastics, this really made me think my baby would be comfy as she often gets red marks here.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
As far as cloth nappies go Wonderoos V3 makes life easier for me through its flexibility. The inserts are such that you don’t need to use a bulky toddler sized booster on a newborn, but you can get plenty of absorbency for toddler night time wees by swapping the boosters about. I really loved the pre-fold booster, so easy to dry here in rainy Scotland!
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
I’d make an applix option, I just struggled a little with the fit, I had to play around and tweak the rise settings vs. the waist setting to get a snug comfortable fit. A friend of mine who tried it out, who is newer to cloth nappies got a little intimidated, and we had to work it out together before she felt confident the nappy wouldn’t leak.
Tested by mum Sara Cauvain for the M&B Awards 2016:
Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?
Would definitely recommend to any mum who wants to move away from disposables. The Wonderoos are just brilliant. They are brilliant. I love the designs and how easy they are to use. I wish I had used them sooner with my little boy but will be using them when my next baby arrives in few weeks! It took a bit of getting used to in how to use them properly, and I’m still learning but they are so worth it!
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
I wouldn't say I could do anything quicker but knowing down the line I am saving lots of money not using disposable and filling landfill sites is good to know.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
There is nothing to change about these nappies. Once you try them you will be hooked. The designs are just adorable and I could spend far too much money!

Fun prints and a nice fit, easy to put on.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?

If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
Took quite a while to dry compared to others.
Tested by mum Naomi White for the M&B Awards 2016:
Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?
I liked the Wonderoos V3 nappy but found them a bit faffy to assemble for my little one. I use a range of reusable nappies but had not previously tried Wonderoos. The designs are super cute but the assemble isn't quite as easy as some of the other designs I have tried. Love the ecological side of reusables though, would recommend for design. Absorbency is OK after a bit of trial and error with the inserts and washing several times before use.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
Snaps are easy to fasten and nappy is easy to adjust to suit the child’s size but not too easy to prepare and assemble for use with the folding and snapping together of the two piece filling.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
How it is filled.

Tested by mum Nancy Paterson for the M&B Awards 2016:
Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?
I love these Wonderoos V3 nappies! They're so bright and colourful! I love it that they are gender neutral and not blue for boys and pink for girls! It's so nice to see bright and colourful things for all babies to wear! They're really easy to use and wash and dry easily. The colours haven't faded at all and they can go in a tune dryer which is fab!
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
It makes nappy changing fun and easy. They're soft and comfy and fit really well. They've been really easy to clean and dry quickly. I love these nappies and definitely recommend them.

Nothing, they are brilliant, I love them!
Tested by mum Lydia Tomicic for the M&B Awards 2016:
Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?
I like the Wonderoos. Very easy to get on a fidgety toddler. Reliable and do not leak if you use enough liners. Easy to wash and dry quicker than other reusable brands. Although can be annoying to stuff the liners. They can look a bit bulky if you have to use both inserts.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
Saves the endless adding of disposable nappies but I'm not sure that's a plus for an easier life, a clearer environmental conscience, yes definitely.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
I found the leg elastic area a bit had to fit correctly without leaving red marks.
