The Bum Rarpz Shark Pup is designed to look like a little shark complete with eyes, teeth, gaping mouth and shark fin. This pocket cloth nappy comes with an absorbent bamboo and microfiber trifold inner and is lined with microfleece.

I’m liking
The Shark Pup is possibly the cutest nappy ever! I couldn’t stop taking photos of my baby in this nappy. It comes in either pink, blue or grey so you can choose your favourite shark breed!
At first glance, the Shark Pup nappy seems hopelessly impractical but it’s actually much more wearable than it looks. The fasteners are robust, the liner is easy to fold and insert, the teeth didn’t seem to bother baby and the shark fin folds flat to allow baby to sit and lie down comfortably.
Things that made me go hmmmm
The combination of this nappy’s microfleece inner lining and the soft outer might make this nappy too hot for baby in a very warm climate. However, my baby was perfectly comfortable in it on normal summer days in the lower North Island.
At $55 each, this nappy is priced more as a novelty product than an everyday nappy.
The conclusion
If you are looking for a no fuss first Halloween costume for your baby or a cute outfit to make your relatives fall even more in love with your baby, this nappy is the ticket!
