Alva Baby nappies are a hugely popular and easy to use nappy, so much so they have become an extremely well loved brand for economical reusable nappies.They are a pocket nappy with adjustable rise snaps and an additional hip snap to prevent wing droop, they also feature crossover snaps to get a perfect fit even on tiny babies.
What is it made from?The outer layer of the nappy is a waterproof and breathable TPU (thermoplastic polyutherane). The inner of the nappy is a polyester suede cloth (100% man-made, not derived from animals) which helps to draw moisture away from your baby's bottom.
What else will I need?You might need to add an extra booster in when you need more absorbency, but for the price that is not the end of the world. You can also insert more than one insert when extra absorbency is needed. We recommend Bamboo Boosters.
How do I use it?These are pocket nappies so simply stuff the included insert, along with any required boosters, inside the pocket and it's ready to go!For more information on fitting cloth nappies and how to care for them, see our Nappy Advice Tab.
Fits from 8 -35lbs/3.5-16kg approx
To wash the Alva nappies, remove and rinse off the residuals (knock solids into toilet). Disposable liners may be used. Store in a dry pail, we recommend a hanging pail, and wash every 1-2 days.
Run a cold rinse, and machine wash (no hotter than 30ºC), do not use fabric softeners or bleach then hang dry or tumble dry on a low heat
Line drying in the sun will help to remove any staining'Bobbling' of the inner material is not unusual and will not affect the usage or longevity of the nappy.
I needed to bulk out my nappy collection a bit more however on maternity pay was looking more at budget nappies. I was worried about getting these, worried they would feel plasticky and not be of any use. However I am so surprised.They don't feel cheap at all, the inner is really soft against babies bum. The supplied booster is a nice size and seems to work well by itself however my little one is a heavy wetter so I only use the booster by itself for short periods. As it is s pocket nappy however i just add more boosters, I tend to add a mama koala booster as these are do similar in shape and fit well, but others work just as well. As of yet we have had no leaks and am really pleased with the containment. The patterns are adorable and bub doesn't seem to have any complaints. Am about to add more to my basket now as I can't resist.
I received an Alva nappy in the Christmas mystery box; I hadn't bought them before as was worried they would leak without a double gusset, but, it's turned out to be one of my favourite nappies. The shell fits well and quite slim. Have had no leaks or issues but I have boosted each time. The designs are so lovely now I know how well they work I will get more!
I really like Alva nappies, they helped me in the early days of trying cloth nappies with the attractive price tag. I’ve found that the microfibre insert wasn’t enough for us so have used alternative inserts, however the fit and the quality so far make the nappies a great addition to our nappy stash.
