  • 2.5kg to 10kg.
  • Soft double-leg external gusset. 
  • Double waist hip snaps for an easy fit.

  • Gentle white binding around the outer.

Insert:

Not sure which option to choose? Let us help you break it down:

Insert Options

  1. Cover - the shell is a waterproof cover only, use over flats, preflats, or fitted newborn nappies.
  2. Cover & Insert - this is a total newborn nappy solution, the snake insert snaps into the shell and can be folded to suit your baby.

Materials

  • Outer cover: Recycled polyester and heat-bonded TPU laminate.

To get the best results from your nappies we recommend following these 4 simple wash steps:

  1. Dry Pail
    Remove solid poo from the nappy, separate inserts from the shell and place in your dry pail.
    (Babies not yet on solids can go straight in your dry pail).
  2. Pre-wash cycle
    Run a short wash cycle 40-60 degrees with half the normal detergent every 1-2 days. Remove from your washing machine and dry pail awaiting your main wash.
  3. Main-wash cycle
    Run a longer main wash cycle 40-60 degrees with detergent every 3-4 days.
  4. Hang to dry
    Hang nappies to dry or use a clothes dryer on low heat.

very happy with our clothbum nappys. They have been a great adjustable snug fit for our newborn

Hi Bryn, thanks so much for the lovely review! It’s great to hear our nappies are providing such a nice, snug fit for your new little one.

Easy Peasy

We struggled with the fit of other brands with our lanky boy. These nappies fit him perfectly and husband can even put them on without leaks.

The washing is really simple following the guide and is part of the daily routine even with a newborn baby in the mix.

Fairy Newborn Nappies

Love love love these nappies. We have been using cloth since birth - my husband went along with my choice but didn’t fully come on board till we left the hospital and the disposable nappies behind. He loves how easy they are to use, and how we aren’t throwing out money. Our daughter is 5 months 6.4kg and we are still going strong on the newborn size with the OSFM nappies ready to go. Our daughter has really sensitive skin and she never has nappy rash or any irritation from these nappies. They clean amazingly well, are so soft and still look brand new. Brit is amazing too. Whenever I emailed questions she got back to me so quickly and with great information. I couldn’t recommend this brand enough. So happy we picked them. 10/10. No notes.

Great fit!!

Recently got these newborn nappies and they are incredible! I have quite small babies 2.5kgs and these were such a good fit!! Also the clip in snake covers are so versatile as they grow and to customize wet zones for bubba. My baby was able to use these till 6 months. Absolutely incredible! I love these nappies and am a big fan of Cloth Bums and anything that Britt has designed.

Cute pattern

Cute pattern and we love that you can reuse the cover if it's only a wee so we don't need as many nappies in our stash. Definitely easy to use even for sleep deprived parents in the middle of the night.

Cute and practical

We love Cloth Bums! Our daughter is 6 weeks old and has been in cloth nappies since birth. We love that you can reuse the wipeable covers for multiple changes (as long as there's no poop on them) so we have been ok with 8 covers in our stash. We can't wait to keep using Cloth Bums!

Favourite purchase

These have been one of the only things I spent money on after months of research. Have not regretted it at all. The prints are gorgeous and quality exceptional. I am finding a bit of leakage from my 3 week old but she drinks a lot with bit sleeps in between. Will continue to buy more from Cloth Bums!!

The best nappies, we have used these for our son since he was 2.2kg. He is now almost 5.5 kg at 4 months old and we still have plenty of room to grow into. Great value and excellent customer service.

Super soft

The snake inserts are beautiful. Super soft; a great design and the width at the back of the nappy is just perfect!

Perfect fit for my 4 week old

Ordered these to trial out cloth bums nappies. My 4 week old has thin legs and have struggled with ‘newborn’ sized nappies but these fit amazingly. Smallest and tightest buttoning but fit perfect with no leaking!
Will definitely be buying more in the future

So cute

I absolutely love these nappies! I was anxious as a first time mum to try cloth nappies but I can say they're actually much easier than disposable and so much cuter! Love the new prints and that if Bub is just in his happy and a singlet he still looks like the coolest dude in town!
They're also great quality and easy to wash and maintain. Highly highly recommend!!!!

Fantastic covers

Absolutely LOVE these covers. They hold a range of smaller inserts well and keep everything secure while no leaks or explosions! I am waiting for the snap inserts to come back in stock so I can use the complete set. These are my favourite PUL covers I’ve used on my newborn so far.

Jessica M. (Melbourne, AU)
Amazing covers

I have tried a few different newborn nappy brands and these covers are my absolute favourite. They fit so well on my little newborn (3.4kg), but could also fit a much larger baby so I am sure I will get many many months of use before I need to go to OSFM nappies.
I use my own muslin flats as inserts, and they fit over them so easily.
Super happy with these and ended up buying more. I would recommend these to everybody wanting to start cloth from newborn.

Samantha F.G. (Sydney, AU)
Brilliant and unique size

I already had newborn PUL covers - but they only fit trifolds. And the OSFM covers I had were way too bulky on tiny legs. These covers are a size I had never seen before - and last beyond the regular newborn size range with enough room to cover flats and not just trifolds or pad fold inserts. Four stars only because I wish they had a third rise snap. Only two sets of snaps I find they pop open as they’re not as secure as other nappy snaps.

Great Newborn Nappy

I love the newborn fairy nappies! I've been using them since my baby was 2 weeks old. Fit is great and as long as you ensure the nappy is secured to the right setting, it holds in all poos and wees. Only downfall I have found is my newborn sleeps long stretches at night (4-5hrs) so I can't use this design at night as the snake insert itself doesn't have enough absorbency for this time frame. Will definitely be trialing the night nappy once he is at the right weight range so I can avoid using disposables at night.

Fabulous new improvements!!

I love my fairy wraps. They are so so reliable, I've basically never had a leak or poo explosion in them. The new wrap is awesome because the snake inset is super trim and I love the elastic on the front PUL panel that keeps it in place. The soft PUL is delightful too. Can't recommend highly enough for the newborn stage and beyond. I'm still using them with my 7-8kg 11 week old and will be for a while to come!

Rare gem

When looking at starting my cloth nappy journey i researched a lot about what sort of cloth nappy I would like to use. After deciding on covers and inserts it was disappointing to see not many companies stocked this kind of nappy but once I found Clothbums I was over the moon. One the offered covers for newborn sizes, but two they stocked other companies allowing me to try a variety of products. We are only into our first week of trialing them but the team have been super helpful answering my questions on instagram about if the fit is right.

FAIRY - FAQ'S

Is it complicated to use? I’m already overwhelmed.

Nope. We’ve kept this one as simple as possible.

Snap the insert in, pop it on, done. No folding, no weird hacks, no YouTube tutorials required at 2am.

What’s this “snake insert” thing and do I actually need it?

It’s basically your absorbency MVP.

A long, flexible insert that you can customise depending on how much your baby wees. Light day? Use less. Big sleeper? Add more where you need it.

Or skip it completely and use the cover over your own flats or preflats if that’s your vibe.

Do I need to change the whole nappy every time or can I reuse the shell?

You can absolutely reuse the shell and once you start doing it, it feels like a life hack.

If it’s just wee, you can swap out the insert and reuse the cover a few times before changing the whole thing.

If there’s poo involved… it’s a full change. No one’s trying to salvage that situation 😅

Just make sure the shell isn’t damp or dirty and you’re good to go.

How many newborn nappies do I actually need?

Newborns are busy little humans… expect around 8 to 10 nappy changes a day.

If you’re washing every 3 days, that’s roughly 24 to 30 changes you need to cover. BUT here’s where it gets easier (and cheaper)…Because the insert is removable and the shell is reusable, you don’t need 30 full nappies.

You can comfortably get by with:
• 5 to 6 shells
• A solid stack of inserts (around 24 to 30)
Swap the insert each change and reuse the shell until it needs replacing.

Way less bulk. Way less cost. Way more manageable.

Will this actually fit my tiny newborn

Fair question. This one is designed specifically for newborns from around 2.5kg up to roughly 10kg. It’s not a bulky OSFM pretending to be newborn.

With the double gussets and adjustable snaps, you can get a proper snug fit around those skinny little legs.

Can I use this day and night?

Yep, but with a caveat.

Daytime, easy.

Nighttime depends on your baby. Some newborns sleep like angels, others absolutely flood a nappy. The beauty of this system is you can add more absorbency if needed.
