This All-in-One nappy by La Petite Ourse (LPO) is a simple, economical, birth to potty nappy which offers good absorbency and containment.
Weight range: approx 5-16kg (10-35lbs)
The sizing is adjusted with 4 sets of 3 poppers down the front of the nappy. This allows the nappy to go from small, medium, longer length and full length as baby grows. The sizing is quite generous and therefore tends to fit taller, chubbier babies and toddlers longer than other reusable nappy brands.

The LPO All In One is a simple to use nappy but, because the padding is permanently sewn into place, it is a slower drying option. It does however provide good absorbency, superior to the Le Petite Ourse Pocket Nappy option.
The nappy interior is fully lined with a stay dry grey interior liner, which is beautifully soft and keeps baby feeling drier. It's grey interior colour helps to minimise stains. The lining fabric is absorbent enough alone for younger babies and light wetters, and the nappy comes with an additional booster to pop in when you need more absorbency.
La Petite Ourse All-In-One has a double gusset which can help improve poo containment and give you superior protection. Some people swear by a double gusset whereas many find it doesn't make any difference to containment and find that poo gets stuck into the gusset making cleaning more awkward. If you'd prefer you can use paper liners inside the nappy to help keep the liner and gusset cleaner.
The reusable nappy comes with a tab inside for you to record their name which is ideal if you use these nappies for childcare.
The La Petite Ourse Nappy fits from 5-16kg (10-35lbs)
The waist fastens with poppers. The vertical position of the poppers holds the tabs firmly in place and minimises wing droop. There is also an additional waist popper on each side to further secure the front panel when the nappy is in the smaller width settings. The tabs also offer a cross over popper option for very narrow babies but this isn't often needed at 10lbs but the option is there.The nappy length is altered by the four rows x 3 poppers on the front to offer you small, medium and long length and full length allowing, the nappies to grow with your baby.
How do I use it?
At the back of the nappy there is an opening "pocket." Inside this pocket you can see the sewn in absorbency, this sewn in pad holds approx 177ml.
On top of the staydry lining are two poppers where you attach the additional booster for extra absorption, this booster is also covered in the same grey interior stay dry lining. This second booster holds approx 184ml.
For a very young baby you would normally use just the sewn in absorbency.
As baby grows you popper in the additional insert. Many people love this flexibility however while the popper in additional insert is not being used this does leave 2 "female" poppers located on top and uncovered and with an explosive liquid pooey nappy there is the chance that poo will work into these poppers and need thorough cleaning to remove.

Nappy Fabric
Outer waterproof shell: 100% Polyester.
Sewn-in nappy pad: 25% bamboo and 75% polyester.
Snap-in additional absorbency pad: 45% bamboo and 55% polyester
Drying time for the nappy is slow due to the sewn in booster. This needs to be weighed up against the superior absorbency of the nappy.
