      I liked them enough to buy a set of Version Three Bumgenius OS nappies for DS. What a mistake..he outgrew them at 5 months old !!! So I had to buy some MEOS and wraps for day time use and Quick Flip nappies for night, both of which have a bit of growing space for my baby boy.

      I have never used a one size WN but have always found OS nappies too bulky and a poor fit on small babies. I prefer them once they get the ... miiddle[sic] rise settings.

      Of course if your baby is a newborn or a preemie, sized nappies like Mini Piriuki will be the perfect choice because most OS nappies just fit from but from 8lb.
