These are also known as the "Alcmena V3.5 Snap & Wipe Nappies". They inspired the original Monarch Ultimates (i.e. Ultimate 1.0s).
The Ultimate nappies are the MOST VERSATILE nappies on the market! They are really the ONLY nappy you'll ever need because you can simply adjust the inserts to make it whatever you need, such as:
- Day Nappy (1-2 inserts);
- Night Nappy (3 inserts); or
- Swim Nappy (no inserts)!

Features
-
Organic Fibres for Superior Absorbency: This nappy comes with 1x 5-layer Hemp, 1x 5-layer Bamboo and 1x 3-layer Bamboo ("Nap") insert.
- 5-layer Hemp Insert:
- 5-layers of hemp fibre (hemp absorbs up to 20% its own weight while still feeling dry to the touch!)
- Snaps-in at both ends of the nappy shell for wiggly bubs
- Gussetted (no more leaks!)
- 5-layer Bamboo Insert:
- 5x layers of pure bamboo
- Snaps-in at both ends of the nappy shell
- 3-layer Nap Insert:
- 3x layers of pure bamboo
- Snaps in at the front, with a middle snap for customising absorbency (fold it in thirds or halves to place absorbency where bub needs it most)
-
Customisable: Snap (or tuck) in as many or as few inserts as you like! If you're unsure about which ones to use, refer to our Absorbency Chart as a guide.
-
Wipe & Reuse: With its wipeable interior, simply snap out the soiled insert, wipe down the shell* and snap in a clean insert and you've got yourself a new nappy!
- Cut down on laundry and save money on buying more nappies!
- This is handy for winter or colder climates as the shell dries much quicker than inserts do. You can also purchase extra insert sets to get a few more nappy-changes out of your nappy
- *If the shell is heavily soiled, we recommend washing before reusing.
-
Double-gussets (leg elastics): Designed to accommodate lots of absorbency and provide an extra barrier against leaks and explosions.
-
PUL Tummy and Back Flaps: Waterproof front and back flaps to keep the moisture from sitting against bub's stomach and back for extended periods of time.
-
Thick Back Elastic: Designed to prioritise your little one's comfort, the back elastic is made thicker than what is generally available.

Care
- Machine-washable, no hotter than 60 degrees Celcius (any hotter will deteriorate the waterproofing of the nappy)
- Inserts can be dried in the dryer or line-dry under the sun.
- Nappy outer can be dried in the dryer but ONLY on low-heat OR we recommend line drying in the shade to preserve the useful life of the nappy shell.
