The Bright Star Baby Nappy is the first All in One (AIO) I've used. AIO are basically the closest to disposable nappies in relation to ease of putting on baby - it's just like a disposable, just that you can wash it. While I don't have any comparison to other AIOs, the Bright Star Baby worked really well for Snowflake. It comes with the usual adjustable poppers and thanks to soft elastics, a perfect fit is quickly achieved. It closes with side poppers which are great for adjusting for the perfect fit around your baby. And because it's not velcro - chances are it'll stay on baby once he/she has figured out how to undo velcro!
Its insert is bamboo and folded three times which translates to really good absorbency even without a booster. The insert can be popped out for washing, or, in my case, for drying. Being bamboo, it's very absorbent but also takes that bit extra long to dry (which is logical, the more a fabric absorbs, the longer it'll take to dry). As I don't use a tumble dryer, it works well that the insert can be popped out and dried separately. The nappy is slim fitting, so it will fit under all those clothes designed for disposables wearing babas.
The nappy is super flexible, and fits tight yet gentle on baby. It's super soft thanks to being bamboo. It comes in a range of funky designs - so it also has something to show off. In fact, it caught the eye of many people who don't use cloth, which is right up my street because you can start an chat about real nappies and how good they are these days!
I've used the nappy a good few times now - it's still as soft and its absorbency is comparable to a disposable. I've had no leaks, and ended up wondering why I didn't get AIOs from the outset. I mean, really, what could be better than softest bamboo on your baby's bum and striking designs for your eyes? Save money and the planet as well, it's all good.
Oh and did I mention that one lucky reader has the chance to win a Bright Star All in One Nappy? How good is that? How you wonder? Well, you know the spiel:

Great review. Love these nappies.
Great review. I've been wanting to try these since I saw them a while ago!
Great review, been looking at Bright Stars for a while as we love AIOs.
Thanks for the tip! Sounds interesting, definitely up for giving them a go - hopefully I'll be able to work out how to put them on by the time the baby gets here!
So glad to have discovered baby bum boutique and cloth nappies in general!
I really want one of these nappies as they look so cute! Thanks for the chance Baby Bum Boutique- shared on Facebook to my many friends...
I've been staring at Baby Bum Boutique's pictures of these nappies for a while now, arguing with myself about whether I can justify buying any. They sound so good! And look so pretty!
Ooooh this is lovely, i have been trying to resist the urge to buy more cloth for soooo long but would love to win this. Shared on facebook too.
Oooh, not tried this brand before. would like to try them.

would love a chance to try these out, they sound great, I remember nappies with pins, but also have a 3 month old baby & love the idea of easy washable nappies. Off to rt @sadiequinton on twitter thanks x
I would love to test these out on my little boy, thanks for the chance to win one! I have used tots bots aio's (and reviewed them twice on my blog) and smartipants and both are good but id like to try out more brands.
Aqeela. x
I'm really hoping to get along with real nappies this time as htey have come so far in the four years since i had my son! Would be great to try this one! @simply_hayley
Following on Twitter and retweeted :)
I love this design its so quirky. I'd love to try it out and see how it compare to other AIOs we have tried :)
What a great review and a fab nappy. I currently use cloth nappies most of the time. If I am lucky enough to be given this nappy it will be going into the pack of nappies I am making for my brother and his partner who are expecting twins in about a months time - so it will get lots and lots of use. Thanks
This looks great, would love to try it out! I'm following and have tweeted! @superluckydi
This nappy looks lovely and seems to be getting great reviews! I only have pre-loveds at the moment as trying to build up a stash of different types, although all the good reviews on this is making me wonder if I should buy one of these new as they sound worth it!
