Favourite Cloth nappies?

[Mervs Mum]

I've heard great things about the Flips but I cant get past the boring colours! Bamboozles are my newborn staple nappy of choice - love them!! Dont forget to try something AIO (all in one) or a pocket too Helen

 

[MrsR]

Ooooh thanks mm-yeah the colours are a bit boring x I have now made a list of the different types and I'm gonna tick them off x

I done it! I bought one today to try. The only trial packs mothercare had was their own brand called smart nappy. For 10 pound I got a nappy outer, a disposable pad, a reusable pad and 5 liners. I can't wait to try it out. Xx

he he, it is all exciting stuff, I have just ordered some more bamboozles, 2 BGV3 and a tots bot birth to potty, have ordered new as will get my council cash back

I am hoping that this should last me comfortabley for 2 days and I can figure out what works and what doesn't to then get more...

 

[Toonlass]

council cash? do tell lol xx

 

[Rowesb]

quite a few councils do schemes where you get cash back, trail packs or vouchers towards reusable nappies, Leeds do a spend 50 get 30 quid back or 2 nappies and disposable liners scheme....
...
Idea for a sticky mods? list of what councils do what???

 

[Mervs Mum]

The list keeps changing and with councils budgets being slashed I bet this will be one of the first things to go.

Toon - some councils offer a money back or incentive top use cloth. Have a butchers on your council website - mine doesnt but larger ones often do

I am actually quite impressed with the mother care smart nappy. I think its classed as a pocket nappy? (i am cluless ) It fits really well, isn't bulky at all and you have the option of reusable inserts or disposable ones. I suppose if your out and about the disposable will be great! They are cheaper than alot of the others on the market but they only come in white

I am just having a look around now for more trial packs so i can sample some other ones. I'd like to try an all in one xx

 

[Mervs Mum]

It's a prefold with a wrap A pocket would literally have a pocket for you to stuff with an insert. The advantage of yours is that you can reuse the wrap (outer shell) a few times and they are quick drying compared to an all in one for example. Yours are like the Bum Genius 'Flips;.

I have a heap of junior joy flat nappies that are 'padded' and fold into three - not sure what they are or how to use them, might need to post a few pics so I can get some help with them. Im not entirely sure of what to do with them but I do want to use them as I have LOADS!

They are 'prefolds' like the smart nappies or BG Flips i mentioned before

 

[Rosie's Mummy]

Ok so they can just go inside a wrap? I will have to have an experimental day with them I think

 

[Mervs Mum]

Yes. They're a basic flat nappy. I guess you could say the baby wears it like a pad between it's legs. The main disadvantage of the more basic prefolds/flat nappies is that they are one material and dont have a 'stay dry layer' on them so the moisture is against the baby's skin while being worn. Personally if I liked that type of nappy and it was working for me, then I'd add a fleece liner between the baby and the prefold which would give you a simple stay dry layer. Fleece kind if acts one way. It lets the wee through but not back again.

 

[Rosie's Mummy]

Ive just been up surveying my enormous collection of them! I have some shaped ones and some flat, I did think of using a liner - might order some from your good self to jazz them up a bit. I think I have just realised how many nappies I have for the early days, I had forgotten about my Bambino Mio flats too, just need to get some bigger wraps but they can wait til later on

 

[Mervs Mum]

Bet you cant wait to get going!

 

[Toonlass]
