I've got a few of these in my stash, but they're becoming the last ones I reach for. It's true they are super absorbent, and it's true they are very easy to put on thanks to the poppers and not needing a booster, but the frills round the edges always manage to sneak out of the wrap, causing leaks long before the nappy has reached its full absorbency. I'm careful to tuck the edges in and never have this problem with other nappies. I'm using them with Airflows so it might be that the loose fit of the Airflows doesn't work well with the frilly edges. But given that they're made by the same company, it's a bit annoying! They are also super slow drying, usually still hanging on the airer 48 hours later when the next nappy wash comes out of the machine.

Sorry to hear you're having problems with your nappies. Sandys as you've found are super absorbent.
The frills are not designed to be tucked in and should be left out as that ensures the leg seal is strong.
The Airflow is designed to work with the Sandys and the airflow should be wider than the nappy so there is a good gap between the nappy edge and the wrap.
As baby gets bigger and fills the wrap it can make the wrap snug. The airflow is a puffy roomy fit and it is easy for baby's weight gain to sneak up without realising the wrap is getting too small.
A wrap that is getting too small is more likely be the cause of a leak than a wrap that is too big.
The leak that you've described will be due to the wrap and not the nappy. Please double check your wrap sizes and if in doubt go up a size wrap.

These are great nappies and very absorbent. They can be used as a night nappy with the addition of a booster too. They are easy to use for nursery, and other people not used to reusable nappies. They fit well, but you have to make sure the 'frilly' edges are tucked into the wrap, otherwise you get leaks! They are fairly slow drying.

We bought some sandies after my LO started to grow out of Bamboozles and they’re just wonderful. They are slim for a night nappy with plenty of room and because of the poppers to the side they can be used as a pull up now my lo doesn’t want to lie down for a nappy change. The only thing wrong is I need to buy a few more!

In hindsight, I wish I had gone for these and only these.. 23 January 2022 | Cecily
They are cute, fit really well, absorbent, and most importantly, they are extremely easy to put on and take off. I find them really flexible and practical.I wish there were still more colours available because they are so cute!
Oh, and I feel like my baby can move more freely in these than, for example, the wizard duos..

I had to look for other nappy systems after my toddler started to flood her pocket nappies during the day, and decided to give these a go. I use them with a motherease airflow wrap and they work perfectly together. So far I haven't had any leaks with these - the absorancy is great even without a booster and the nappies contain poos well, too. They're also lovely and soft and stretchy. I actually think I prefer these over my bamboozles!

Unfortunately this Nappy doesn’t work well for my baby boy. I guess one category that is overlooked when talking reusable nappy is mobility once the nappy is on.
Once the liner, the nappy with insert and the wrap are on, baby’s bottom looks like Michelin.
I have perservered with it but I also find that it squishes his private parts - the nappy size is definitely not the issue - and he was never happy with wearing it. It also restricts the mobility in the area in between his legs due to all the layers.
I have decided to sample other brands which I prefer to this one but overall I find reusable nappies not baby friendly because it reduces their mobility due to the chunkiness. It maybe a good option once baby can walk and has more ease of movement...
This nappy has good absorbency.

Find the fabric very hard on my babys skin and to bulky, he is already om the outher buttons. 5,5 kgs so doubt it will last to 20 ibs..
But very great containment with rumparooz wrap

Depending on your water type all fabrics can go stiff. Either tumbling or rubbing them together can solve this. It's unusual to be on that setting at such a low weight. If you would like to email us on advice@thenappylady.co.uk we can check the fit for you.

Easy to put on a wriggly upright toddler. Poppers face backwards so this helps. Look nice and cosy, room to boost with bamboo or hemp if needed. Fit well under airflow or disana wool pants. Much better than velcro which eventually loses stick.

These (natural cotton size 2) stay soft, despite washing in hard water, and look very comfortable. They appear bulkier than size 2 Bamboozles but are at least as absorbent (used at night, boosted, on a toddler) and don't take as long to dry.

i'm in love with this nappies! best fitted i've tried! they are soft, have a great fit and are not that bulky. also, they wash well and stay soft. the only down side is the drying time, that is longer that i've guessed when i fist saw the nappies, but they can go to the dryer...

Very impressed with these. I have heard then described as the “workhorse of nappies” and they lived up to this! I initially tried them as I was impressed with the Motherease airflow which I used over a bamboozle at night. I now use sandy’s day and night and I no longer use my pocket nappies as the sandy’s are just so easy and comfortable for my 5 month heavy wetter! Husband also gets on with them which is a bonus! I recommend these to everyone!

Hadn’t really heard much about these nappies but was buying a selection of two parters and thought we’d give it a go. They are really ace. Easy to put on (the poppers are exactly where you’d want them for a wriggly toddler who will only be changed standing up!), long fit, and work perfect with a absorbent booster and a wool wrap for long sittings. The fluted edges do mean you’d probably want a wool or anavy style pull up wrap especially if you’ve got a girl!

Great night time solution 05 September 2020 | Claire
I tried these nappies as an alternative to the traditional ‘Velcro’ night nappies as I am trying to eliminate velcro nappies to protect my other motherease nappies in the wash.
I’m really pleased with them and wish I had tried them sooner. The popper fastening is great and they work really well with an airflow wrap. Nice and simple to do up when my little one rolls off too!
I’m definitely going to buy more of these.

Ok, not the best for containment for small legs 20 August 2020 | Johanna
I was looking for something similar to a Bamboozle in absorbency that isn’t made of bamboo so tried these for my (then) 6 week old. They’re lovely and soft and I like the side poppers, and they go well with the ME airflow. But, they aren’t as leakproof as a Bamboozle, and the XS size didn’t contain a couple of BF newborn poo explosions, although my baby was well in the weight range. His legs have rounded out and the fit is better now. Not the slimmest 2 part nappy either.

Love the nappy. Not absorbent enough. 19 August 2020 | Samantha
I was so pleased when this nappy arrived for our 3 month old to try at night time. They are soo soft and I love the poppers, making them very easy to use.
She just leaked through even after a couple of hours wear. Tried on our 2 year old and she also leaked through these. Both had a booster in. Don't want to give up as they're so lovely and soft.

One of the best available nappies 14 February 2020 | Helen
I used these nappies for my daughter who is now 18 and now I’ve purchased more for my 8 week old baby. I love how they are made and the fabulous containment around the legs, even though the fabric and elastic is very gentle on baby’s skin. It can be used as a night nappy with a booster and is less bulky than some other night nappies.

Sandys are my go to nappy if I have any wraps. I like that they have never leaked on me. They last for about 4 hours so if I'm leaving the house and not sure when I will get to change him next I put these on my son. They are easy to fit and not as tight fitting as pocket nappies so leave fewer marks. They look comfy as the elastic aren't tight and they fit lower on the leg which seems more comfortable. So easy to put on as long as you have a large enough wrap to cover. Their sizes last ages so right now I'm on a small Sandy with a medium rikki or airflow.
They're my favourite nappy but I only use in the day as they get too soaked for night. I use bamboozle at night.

I bought one Sandy’s just to try out and I LOVE them . These are now my go to night nappy . My daughter is a slim 9 month old so the small still fits perfectly. Lovely and soft and very absorbant- I usually stick a Sandys stay dry booster in for night time but I have used with a stay dry liner and it was plenty absorbant enough for us. The nappy doesn’t look as modern as the UNO’s BUT i love how soft and comfortable they are for night time and they are natural fibre with the frilly soft edging. I pair with a motherease Airflow wrap and love this combo. Also love that they are sized- as my daughter is dinky it just is so neat ....I highly recommend.

Great for babies that won’t lie down 21 July 2019 | Sophia
These are fab for a two part system. My chunky 10 month old won’t lie down so we use these like pull ups, then pull an airflow wrap with 3 of the 4 poppers already done up over the top. It’s not as slim as our unos but it’s not bulky either. Dries quicker than our bamboozles and no Velcro to get fluffy in the wash. They are great on containment we’ve had no leaks despite some epic antibiotic poops (thank goodness he wasn’t in a disposable!!), and the fit is really forgiving so much less tucking and checking than an all in one. I’ll be getting more when I can lay my hands on them.

I knew I wanted to cloth nappy my second baby and spent a lot of time researching for what kind would be suitable. I came across these motherease sandys (size small) and decided to try them. They are working fantastic as I’ve never had any leaks - even breastfed poop (I’m using the motherease airflow wraps) and they are very good quality and wash well. They do take quite a while to get dry though. Even so, I just love using these cloth nappies on my baby and using the poppers to fasten them, they are just lovely

Excellent quality, but very slow drying 26 April 2019 | Cheryl
In terms of containment, absorbency, and ease of use, these nappies are fantastic. I especially like the fact that they are fastened with poppers as this entirely avoids the problem of laundry tabs coming undone in the wash and velcro getting clogged up with fluff.
The only downside is the drying speed. I bought organic cotton and they are the slowest drying nappies I own - consistently slower even than the bambinex bamboo. This is the only reason I haven't awarded 5 stars - they are otherwise excellent and I wish I'd bought more!

Amazing and reliable nappies 03 December 2018 | Victoria
I purchased a few sandy’s nappies following recommendation from The Nappy Lady after filling in their questionnaire of important criteria for me. They are the first reusable nappies I used and they are bsolutely amazing. Super reliable - we haven’t had any leaks or accidents, despite my baby being exclusively breastfed and having very runny poo (we’ve had plenty of leaks with disposable ones). They are very easy to use and very soft on my baby’s skin.
They take a bit of time to dry (1 day approx) but I was expecting that anyone from organic cotton cotton - I always make sure I wash nappies on time so that I never run out (I have 12 of these and usually load a washing machine per day or day be a half and I have so far never run out of them as they dry on time).
They are a bit bulky, and so I tried a different brand (an all in one made of polyester) and even though they were of a slimmer fit, we had a couple of leaks, so I realised that the Sandy nappies are extremely reliable and very absorbent. I definitely prefer bulkiness over leaks, so these are my favourite cloth nappies!
Shane they don’t come in a size birth-to-potty, though! I will definitely buy a size up when my baby is 20lb.
I would highly recommend (unless slim fit is an must criteria)

We bought one of these as I read so many good reviews, it's been so disappointing! We used it once, it's so bulky and didn't wash well. Then hung it up to dry with our LL microfibre and bamboo nappies and Baba & Boo and it was still damp after two days, the bamboo LL were quicker and they take a while! Not a fan, have given it to a friend to try for her new baby

These were one of the only nappies that fit my little boy from birth (just under 7 lbs). At first they were one of my favourite nappies because they were really easy to put on, had excellent absorption and containment, dried fairly quickly (both cotton and bamboo ones) and fit well under the XS airflow wrap. I liked that you can adjust the waist and legs separately. HOWEVER, at 10 lbs my little boy is already too big for the XS. Even on the largest waist setting he was getting marks from about 9 1/2 lbs even though he has a pretty narrow waist. At 10 lbs the next size up is already a fairly snug fit at the waist. So what seems like a fairly reasonably priced nappy turns out to be poor value for money since they don't fit for anything near the full stated weight range.

I use these nappies at night with a booster and a wool wrap for my little boy. He has very sensitive skin but these are so soft and never leave a mark on him (find the bamboo to be softer than the cotton ones). He is a tummy sleeper and love the fact that these popper at the side so don't dig in to him. They are very absorbant and have never had a leak since folding over the booster at the front (he sometimes soaks through a disposable nappy at night). Find them to be quite bulky though so only use for nighttime.

Washed out and takes ages to dry 23 June 2016 | Jenna
When this nappy turned up it looked adorable. Was a beautiful colour and soft and comfortable looking but bulky on, especially with a wrap on top. After one wash it looked discoloured and washed out and I really should have asked for my money back. Though it's been fine to use, it takes days to dry as the booster is sewn in and I think you'd need a tonne of these if you want your baby in cloth full time. Bottom line, bulky, washed out and not time efficient for every day use, yet comfortable, soft and does a good job of keeping mess in. I think there's better out there for the same price.

Response:
sorry you found the nappy washed out. The natural and organic cotton are not bleached so have natural cream colouring. This will fade with washing down to an off white colour. This isn't a fault it's the type of fabric. Check your detergent as if it has optical brighteners and bleaches included (many do) this will lead to fading even quicker.
Good for cloth nappy novices 19 April 2016 | Jessie
I have only ever tried a couple of types of cloth nappies, and was put off because they tended to leak out the legs. However, these keep everything well contained and are easy to put on and launder. The elasticated waist is a great feature as well, especially for comfort.
