Terry Towels
These are your traditional real nappies. They are just a square piece of cloth that is folded into the nappy. This is then secured with a nappy pin or the modern alternative nappy nippa/snappi. These come in different materials such as cotton, bamboo and hemp. A waterproof wrap is then needed over the top.

Shaped Nappies
Shaped nappies or they are sometimes known as 2 part nappies. These are shaped into a nappy and some are then fastened with a Nippa or some have Velcro. A waterproof wrap is then needed on top of these to make them leak proof. A lot of people prefer this type of nappy for nighttime or with heavy wetters.

Pocket Nappies
These have the waterproof layer built in and a pocket to add the absorbent boosters, this means they can be customised depending on needs.

These as the most like disposables as it is all built in, nothing else is needed. Some have boosters which fold out for faster drying time. Some also have extra boosters that can be added for night time use or heavy wetters.

All-In-Two Nappies
This is the name given to nappies that use a waterproof shell and have boosters placed into them to create the absorbancy. Some have disposable boosters which can be handy for trips away.

Boosters
These are absorbent and are added to nappies to increase their absorbancy so they last longer. Some nappies need these in order to work i.e pocket nappies. They can be added to others such as All-In-Ones to make them last longer for older babies, heavy wetters or for night use.

liners
These can be either cloth or paper. The main use is to make them easier to clean. Fleece is a popular choice as it helps keep the baby dry as well. Some people like the convenience of a paper insert as these are disposable.
