All About Nappy Wraps

A waterproof wrap is the outermost layer of a two part nappy system, used to stop the moisture soaking through to baby's clothing. They are used over a shaped/fitted nappy such as the Tots Bots Bamboozle or Little Lamb shaped nappy.  All in one and pocket nappies come with a waterproof layer built in, so don't need a separate wrap on top.

The company is the world’s best flexible flip wraps supplier. We are your one-stop shop for all needs. Our staff are highly-specialized and will help you find the product you need.

Often when we mention waterproof wraps people think of the traditional plastic pants previous generations wore, but modern waterproof wraps are nothing like these. Traditional plastic (or PVC) nappy covers/pants are still available to buy in certain high street stores but they really aren't the preferred option to use for your baby. Plastic pants are hot and sweaty, and they tend to leave painful red marks on the waist and legs. Because of this environment, sweat rashes easily develop, especially with night nappies. They may seem very cheap, but because they go hard so easily and need to be replaced, it is a very misleading economy. Bear in mind that the German research warning of the effect on sperm of the overheated atmosphere of a disposable applies just as much to an overheated cloth nappy - which will be the case if plastic or PVC wraps are used.

You will not find any of these types of pants on our website, so please shop in confidence that we only stock modern breathable wraps from trusted brands.

You will need as a minimum at least three wraps, to allow for one on, one in the wash and another for accidents, however this really is the absolute minimum. We recommend you have a ratio of 1 wrap for every 4 nappies to ensure you don't run out. The same ratio applies to an all in two nappy system. The younger the baby, the more you are likely to need in 24 hours.

I would recommend using the same wrap for no more than 12 hours or so at a time. So your baby will wear one wrap for around 4 nappy changes during the day, then a clean one overnight. If the wrap is just wet, simply wipe down the inside of the wrap with a tissue or muslin at each nappy change before putting in the nappy bucket at the end of the day. If the wrap has become soiled with poo then you would change to a clean one.

As a general rule wraps should not be tumble dried or soaked, as this may damage the waterproofing. Some can be tumble dried on low, but it is rarely worth the risk, as they usually air dry exceptionally quickly.

When you put the wrap on, feel around the top and the legs to make sure it completely covers the nappy and nothing is sticking out, otherwise the wet will wick out onto clothes.

You also get a choice of nappy wraps that fit 'birth to potty' or that come in different sizes as baby grows. Sized options are more expensive as you need to replace them as baby grows. The fit however is MUCH better at each stage which in turn makes them far more reliable. You are also spreading the wear across your nappy system so if you have more children the wraps will be in better condition.

Birth to potty wraps are more economical as one size fits most of the time, however they are less likely to last more than one child due to the amount of wear and tear they get over 2-3 years. While these wraps are called 'birth to potty/onesize', really they start working best from 10/12lbs so you may still find yourself using a newborn sized wrap for the early months before moving into the Onesize. Our best selling birth to potty wraps are the Blueberry Capri wrap, which fits over many fitted nappies and is also suitable for pad folded prefolds, and the Bambinex onesize which is a deep wrap so also an option for use over terry squares. Petite Crown Catcher wraps are a generously sized birth to potty wrap which fits over all nappies including terry squares.

Our best selling wraps for over 22 years are the Mother-ease covers. Mother-ease covers are truly wick resistant. Wicking is where the outer wrap picks up moisture from the nappy underneath (like if you put the corner of a tea towel in a mug of water, the water would slowly travel through the tea towel). They are sized so you move through sizes as baby grows. Mother-ease make two types of wraps: Rikki which are velcro fastening, and Airflow that fasten with poppers at the side. The Rikki are a trimmer fit which makes them very popular on newborn babies, however the Airflows are the more breathable wrap and tend to be the most popular choice.

If you are on a budget don't compromise on the quality of your wrap but compromise on the nappy underneath. An excellent wrap will make even the cheapest nappy work.

Wool nappy wraps are becoming increasingly popular and are a comfortable, breathable option. They are also perfect for families wanting to minimise plastic-derived products in their home. If you're interested in Wool wraps read our separate wool wraps article here.
 

How Frequently Do You Change Cloth Nappies?

Nappy wraps are generally changed 3 times a day for a newborn, this being on waking, early afternoon and then at bedtime. As baby gets older the wrap will be changed approximately every 12 hours so on waking and at night.
For the absorbent nappy underneath during the day, every 2½ - 4 hours, depending on baby's age and how heavy a wetter they are, but always straight after a poo. At night, if you add extra absorbency, the baby can stay in the same nappy for 12 hours or more (unless they poo). Visit our how often to change cloth nappies article for full details.

Color Changing Car Wraps: A Simple Guide

When it comes to car wraps, the usual image that comes to mind is the standard vinyl wrap used to give a car a new color. However, there exists another intriguing option&#;a car wrap that actually changes color! Often known as a "color change car wrap," this type of wrap adds an extra layer of uniqueness to your vehicle. What sets it apart from the regular color change wraps, and how does it work? In this brief guide, we'll explore the answers to these questions and provide insights into the fascinating world of color-changing car wraps.

Color Shift vs. Color Change

Car wraps offer two distinctive options when it comes to transforming the color of your vehicle:

Color shift wraps, often referred to as chameleons, consist of multiple layers exhibiting different colors from varying angles. When illuminated from one perspective, they produce an iridescent effect; from another angle, an entirely different color emerges. This inherent property provides these wraps with a captivating "changing color" effect.

Alternatively, color change wraps, also known as solid color change wraps, are straightforward applications that alter the color of your car. Available in gloss, satin, or matte finishes, these solid wraps come in a spectrum of colors. The option to introduce textured or carbon fiber finishes adds further versatility. Once applied, these wraps completely envelop the car, delivering a consistent color transformation. Solid color changers maintain a uniform appearance, unaffected by the viewing angle.

In summary, both color shift and color change car wraps achieve the objective of altering your vehicle's color. The distinction lies in the dynamic visual experience offered by color shift wraps, adapting their appearance based on the viewing angle, while color change wraps present a consistent color regardless of the perspective. For an exciting, ever-changing aesthetic, color shift wraps are the ideal choice, while those seeking a reliable and unchanging color transformation opt for color change wraps. Elevate your vehicle's style with the diverse options provided by RAXTiFY.

Which One is Right for You?

Color change car wraps offer a fantastic way to transform the appearance of your vehicle, and each type comes with its own set of advantages. If you prefer a wrap that maintains a consistent look under all conditions, a solid color-changing car wrap could be the ideal choice for you. On the other hand, if you enjoy keeping people intrigued and guessing, a car wrap with color-shifting capabilities might be the perfect fit! Now that we've clarified the distinction between the two options, let's delve deeper into the specifics of color shift wraps. What materials are used in their construction, and how do they achieve the mesmerizing color shift effect when viewed from different angles?

What Are Color Shift Wraps?

Color shift wraps, a trending choice in the world of vehicle customization, are gaining popularity. Comprising multiple layers with distinct colors visible from different angles, these wraps exhibit a captivating color-changing effect. This transformation occurs when light interacts with the film at varying angles, creating an iridescent display. Each angle introduces a new color, contributing to the unique appeal of these wraps.

Unlike standard vinyl wraps used for car color changes, color shift wraps boast a slightly thicker film. This enhanced thickness enhances durability, reducing the likelihood of tearing or ripping. Additionally, they come in a range of colors such as blue, green, pink, purple, and more, providing a diverse palette for vehicle customization.

How Color Shifting Vinyl Films Add a Unique Touch

Understanding the magic behind color-shifting vinyl films sheds light on their distinctive appeal. Unlike traditional wraps, these films create a captivating iridescent effect when struck by light from specific angles. This effect results from the multiple layers that compose the film.

Applying color-shifting wraps demands a bit more precision than standard vinyl wraps but is less intricate compared to chrome wraps. The directional nature of these wraps adds to the challenge, requiring careful attention during installation.

While the allure of color-shifting wraps is undeniable, they come with a trade-off. The ever-changing colors can be mesmerizing yet potentially distracting. This unpredictability raises a valid question: why choose a color-shifting wrap over a consistent solid-colored one?

The answer lies in personal preference. If you seek a head-turning, flashy appearance, a color-shifting wrap might be the perfect choice. However, if you prefer a more understated look, a solid color-change vehicle wrap could be a better fit for both your style and budget.

Is Color Flip the Same as Color Shift?

If you've been exploring car wraps that alter color, you may have come across the term "color flip." But what does it mean, and is it interchangeable with "color shift"? In essence, yes. Both terms describe wraps that change their look based on viewing angles or light exposure. However, there are distinctions between the two. The difference lies in the usage of "color shift" as a broader term, while "color flip" specifically denotes wraps created using this vinyl film technique. So, if you're in search of a wrap that transforms appearance based on the viewing angle, either term could fit. Still, "color flip" is more precise, referring to the material used in crafting these wraps (which we'll delve into next).

What Varieties of Color Changing Wraps Does RAXTiFY Offer?

Our color-changing vinyl films come in a range of colors and finishes, such as glossy, matte, satin, and more. These wraps are versatile and can be applied to nearly all vehicle types. Broadly speaking, we categorize them into two types: iridescent and metallic. Iridescent wraps produce a dynamic, shifting array of colors, while metallic wraps provide a more subdued effect, altering the color based on light angles.

Which Option is Right for You?

Choosing between the two depends on your desired aesthetic and budget. Iridescent wraps come at a higher cost compared to metallic ones, but they deliver a more pronounced wow factor and are generally more vibrant. Metallic color shift vehicle wraps exude a subtle iridescence, often described as "shimmering" or "sparkling." However, they don't produce the same rainbow effect as iridescent wraps. Opt for an iridescent wrap if you crave a flashy and attention-grabbing appearance. If you prefer something more understated, a metallic wrap might be a better fit for your needs compared to a purely iridescent one.

Are Color Shift Vinyl Films a Good Investment?

Color shift vinyl films come with a slightly higher price tag compared to regular color change films, but the visual impact they deliver is truly impressive. Whether it's worth it depends on your preferences. If you desire a head-turning look that stands out, investing in color-shift vinyl films is certainly worth the extra expense. However, if your goal is a simple color change for aesthetic reasons, the additional cost may not be justified. On the other hand, if you aim to create something exceptional, like a distinctive show car or race vehicle that sparks conversations, then opting for these color shift vinyl films becomes a worthy consideration. To determine if this type of vinyl film is the right choice for you, take a look at some examples and see what captures your interest.
