What is an All in Two cloth nappy? Have you become overwhelmed by the terminology and the different types of nappies. Here is our handy guides for the different types of nappies. This one is about the All in two Nappies. 

All in two's fall in between an All In One and a pocket nappy. They Shouldn't be confused with an shaped two part system.
How do All In Two nappies work?
All cloth nappies are made up of two components. 
An absorbent part.
A waterproof or water resistant part.

An All in Two cloth nappy is one in which these two parts are attached but can be removed. This is usually done by a snap connecting the back of the absorbent soaker to the inner part of the waterproof shell. The absorbent soaker can come in a variety of shapes. From a long straight piece that folds over to create layers to a shaped piece that mirrors the shape of the shell. 

You have an outer shell and two absorbent soakers which all snap together to create the nappy. 

The parts can be separated to speed up drying. (How handy is this for quicker drying?) Or more added to in order to increase absorbency. The flexibility with this type of nappy makes it popular. Another appealing quality is the high potential for containment. Once any urine or faeces has been absorbed by the absorbent material it then has to broach the elastics of the shell making leaks rare. 

They are really popular as a night nappy as they are great for absorbency. You can also add additional boosters to these for heavy wetters. Do you use them and what do you think of using two part systems? Let us know in the comments. 

During washing the parts to tend to come apart so there is a small amount of preparation to put the nappy together again before use.
