Pocket	Rumparooz Charlie Banana sized Charlie Banana one-size Smartipants	Soft fleece next to baby's bum, keeping it dry. Can stuff with extra boosting when needed. Fast drying, especially if inserts are microfibre.	May gape if stuffed too much. Need to take apart for washing and stuff pocket again when dry.
All-in-One	Itti Bitti D'Lish all-in-one Lil Joeys	Convenience of being ready to wear.	Take much longer to dry. May need to be changed sooner than a pocket or fitted nappy.
