What are Candies?
Candies are our award-winning all-in-two, One Size Fits Most (OSFM) cloth nappy. Unlike many OSFM cloth nappies on the market, the Candie has no rise snaps. Vicki gives a quick demonstration of all the parts of the Candie and how they work to eliminate complicated snaps on the front of the cloth nappy. Candies can be customised to further suit babies by offsetting the side snaps to accommodate different sized waists and thighs.
Our multiple award-winning candies are one sized but do not have rise snaps, watch the videos above to see how they fit on different sized babies
Our gorgeous Bubblebubs Candies one sized all in two (Ai2) nappies are specifically designed to grow with your baby. They are made from soft polyester PUL or super soft minky laminated with PUL and with an inner layer is made from smooth soft suedecloth, which wicks moisture away from the skin.
The snap-in 2 layer trifold has a suedecloth panel in the centre which helps keep your baby dry. There is an additional 3 layer lay in booster. The booster can be folded in half and positioned exactly where it is needed. The booster set is made from 450gsm bamboo fleece giving 9-12 layers of super thick bamboo, which is super thirsty.
The fabrics used in our nappies are custom milled to the highest standards offering you quality that is second to none. The shells will fit from approx 4kgs to 15kgs, which will see most children fitting them from around birth-4wks through to toilet training. The best part about our Bubblebubs Candies is the 2-row side snap configuration. It is this configuration that allows the nappy to fit comfortably on the smallest baby right through to the chunkiest of toddlers. As it is side snap wing droop is non-existent and the 2 rows of snaps allow for a great fit around the legs and the waist which will ensure that everything is contained. It also means there are no rise snaps to adjust making it the easiest one size nappy on the market to use.
Best thing is, we sell them as separates. You purchase the shell, and then the booster sets. Why? Read below for how this will save you money, and get more use out of your Bubblebubs Candies Shells.

WHAT'S GREAT ABOUT THIS NAPPY
Economical - Being one sized you don't have to buy more nappies as your baby grows you can also save money by buying extra booster sets and re-using the outer shell.
Super Absorbent - Our bamboo has a higher bamboo content and is a thicker fabric than other brands on the market making it more absorbent
Side Snapping - Our snap configuration gives a great fit on all babies as you can adjust the leg snap separately from the waist which gives fantastic containment. It also eliminates wing droop which is where the excess fabric on the wings of front snapping nappies falls down and protrudes out the leg opening.
Quick Drying- Because the nappy pulls apart everything dries fast.
Money Back Guarantee- Because we know you'll love this nappy we back that up with a money back guarantee! That's valid even after you use it! See here for full details
WHAT'S NOT SO GREAT ABOUT THIS NAPPY
Not as trim as sized nappies- One sized nappies are bulkier than sized nappies in particular on newborns but this is soon overcome as they grow so fast! You can use the shell of the Bubblebubs Candies Ai2 as a cover over fitted nappies such as our ever popular Bambams which are designed to fit from preemie through to around 8-10mths
WASHING & CARE
Don't put this nappy in a hot dryer - PUL will delaminate over time if you continually expose it to high heats and elastic will also perish quicker so if you must use your dryer use it on cold or low
Don't wash this nappy over 60 deg - As with putting the nappy in a hot dryer, washing a nappy in hot water will damage the fabrics and elastic over time. If you are worried about germs being killed never fear the sun is the best germ killer that we have and it's also a great stain remover!
Don't use vinegar or homemade detergents - These will void your warranty. Vinegar will eat away PUL over time and reduce the life of the elastic. Homemade detergents can contain anything and as such we do not recommend them at all. Washing powder is a science and specific chemical reactions at specific temperatures are required to ensure that the nappies are cleaned properly and that there is no leftover residue. This is not something that can easily be replicated by simply putting a few ingredients together.
These things go for all modern cloth nappies, to make the nappies last longer and to reduce your environmental impact wash all your modern cloth nappies in cold water with the full dose of a washing powder or liquid. At Bubblebubs we recommend Biozet or Ecostore as a grey water/eco friendly washing detergent that will keep your nappies clean and fresh, then hang them on the line and let the sun go to work.
