The Classic is Monarch’s perfectly trim, yet ultra absorbent pocket nappy. It features pocket openings at the front and back of your nappy for easy stuffing. The pocket lining is made using a stay-dry material, complete with double gussets to add extra protection against leaks and poo explosions. The Classic is also a great night nappy option for a moderate wetter who does not need the bulk of typical night nappy options.

Why we love it
1. Trim yet absorbent
If you have a light to moderate wetter, either insert can be used by itself during the day. This makes the nappy incredibly trim, fitting well under clothes. Alternatively, use both inserts together as a great night solution for a light to moderate wetter! The Classic Nappy comes with 2 inserts:
- 1 x 5-layer hemp insert
- 1 x 5-layer bamboo insert
2. Stay-dry comfort
The athletic wicking jersey (AWJ) pocket lining draws moisture away and keeps bub’s bottom cool and dry. The front and back flaps are waterproof PUL so any moisture is channelled up and under the flap, keeping bub's tummy and back nice and dry as well.
3. Leak-proof
The tummy elastic gives extra leak protection for tummy sleepers, and double gussets provides an extra barrier against any pee or poo explosions escaping from these nappies.
4. Easy to prep, use, and disassemble
Stuffing and un-stuffing your Classic nappy is a breeze with wide pocket openings at the front and back! The pocket design also means that all the inserts are tucked neatly away, so there aren’t any fiddly pieces to confuse other caregivers — a great choice if your child is going to childcare or grandma's house. The AWJ lining is also stain resistant, so you can let bub eat blueberries, bananas, and tomato sauce without fear.

Quick tip: If using the rise snaps, we recommend not snapping the inserts in at the front (only the back, if at all) so that the inserts don't pull the front of the nappy down).

I'm still relatively new in cloth diapering but I've tried a few brands of pocket diapers, and I love the 'feel' of this diaper the most. It is so trim and soft and smooth, it almost feel luxurious. Plus, the prints are pretty!
The AWJ inner lining keeps my bub's bum dry and both inserts can last the whole night for my moderate 5-month-old wetter. It could probably hold about 200ml of liquid?
Fit wise, it took me a few trial & errors to get the fit right for my chunky baby. But this is only because the structure of the diaper is a bit different from the other brands I've been using. Because it looks & feels trimmer, at first I had put my chunky baby on all rise up. But now I find that he still needs one rise up with one insert and all rise up two inserts.
Nevertheless, still my favorite pocket diaper so far!
As a newbie in cloth diapering, this was the first diaper I bought for night use. Took a bit of trial and error with the help from the LL ladies and FB group.
Never had a leak with this one, but my 6-month-old (not night weaned, pees a lot) needed another booster on top of the 2 inserts that came with this, all three fit fine within the pocket.
The inserts that come with this nappy do take some time to dry without a dryer.
All in all, it is easy to use and great for a starter piece.
