Title : A wonderful, efficient cover
Detailed Review : I have owned three Bambino Mio covers since starting cloth nappying. I didn't purchase them from this store, but I was so pleased to see that an Australian retailer is stocking them, as they are excellent covers and nappies.
The gussets on the Bambino Mio covers are what make them really effective in holding in messes. I'm pretty sure I never had a leak out of the cover, even with a breastfed baby, and even when the mess had leaked from the nappy into the inside of the cover. It also gives a trimmer look, in my opinion, than a PUL cover without gussets.
I have used these covers with terry flat nappies and I believe they are designed to be used with flats and prefolds, however I can testify that they are also ok to use with fitted nappies, as I do this all the time as well. You just need to make sure you tuck every little bit of fabric from the nappy inside the cover so there's no chance of leaking.
The elastic is indeed very soft, softer than the fold over elastic on some of my other covers, and the velcro makes the cover well adjustable for different sized nappies.
I would happily buy more of these covers in different sizes if I have another baby.
