My DC have worn cloth nappies. White ones, with cream wraps. Plain ones. I have never attended a cloth nappy event of any kind. I am not interested in different types of nappies - they wore one type and that was it. I hate the cutesy names and the way some people go on about them like they are in any way interesting.

But babies who wear disposable nappies smell bad. Sorry but they do. Those piss soaked gel crystals that they sit in/on for hours REEK.

pommedeterre · 14/01/2011 21:43

But in disposables you only need to change your baby every 7 hours right, innit? Even if there's shit right innit? Know what I mean?

MoonUnitAlpha · 14/01/2011 21:46

Disposables do smell weird - especially pampers.

TheProvincialLady · 14/01/2011 21:47

Gosh you're right

Cain · 14/01/2011 21:52

I realise you are all wrapped up in camomile and turds and sluicing but could no-one sympathise with me and my rage at freak of a childminder and her stinking nappy bucket and potty mouth?

Please?

naturalbaby · 14/01/2011 21:55

Childminder story was far too bizzare for me to comment on, not entirely sure what the problem was-apart from her being rude & shouting but what's that got to do with choice of nappy?

naturalbaby · 14/01/2011 21:56

And there's no sluicing!

togarama · 14/01/2011 21:57

Connie: you evidently know nothing about the use of cloth nappies and are actually just talking about how you don't like certain individuals you know who use them.

You come across as being so ignorant and aggressive towards any view different from your own that I can't be bothered finishing this post.

What a stupid OP.

Cain · 14/01/2011 21:59

The stinking, fly swarming bucket outside her front door??? Her ds of about 18 month was fascinated by it and would leg it out the door at every opportunity.

And this is in AIBU after all - who the fuck said it had to flow in logic???

She called me a 'fucking bitch' in front of my ds aged 9, and her other mindees aged 8 and under.

WTF?

Nagoo · 14/01/2011 22:01

the nappies had nothig to do with her being horrid.

But for the record, the nappy bin does not live in easy access of my child, it's got a lid on, and it smells much less than a stinking bin full of disposables.

Much less.

And what the hell is that bloody industry dedicated to keeping 'sausages' of sealed up shitfestering nappies in your house for weeks because you can't be arsed to empty the sodding bin?

Who owns one of them?

naturalbaby · 14/01/2011 22:04

So the childminder was rude and unreasonable but what's that got to do with cloth nappies?!? You admitted you freaked out about the lack of maternity leave-I know a childminder who had 2 working days off after giving birth, no cloth nappies involved!

togarama · 14/01/2011 22:05

Cain: most of us who use a nappy laundry service leave nappies in a dry, sealed bin outside the door for weekly collection. As with ordinary refuse bins, they shouldn't smell if used correctly.

If she genuinely kept an open bucket of old, dirty nappies on her front lawn then this says more about her mental health than the use of cloth nappies.

Cain · 14/01/2011 22:06

Oh fuck off the lot of you.

You nappy debating freaks are clearly beyond resonable logic or cognitive debate so don't bother.

Use whatever the fuck you want to.

As you were you bunch of sluicing, flushing loons but can I suggest you taking it out of popular debate and off to some far and distant nappy debating area where the rest of us don't accidentally click into your flushable liner lunacy?

naturalbaby · 14/01/2011 22:06

Surely no parent in their right mind spends money on those funny nappy wrapper bin things?!?

Cain · 14/01/2011 22:07

With the exception of togarama - thank you for a considered response.

Cain · 14/01/2011 22:08

MoonUnitAlpha · 14/01/2011 22:08

Wow, can't imagine why your childminder called you a fucking bitch.

Cain · 14/01/2011 22:10

And Nagoo...

Cain · 14/01/2011 22:11

MoonUnitAlpha probably because I gave her notice for being a fucking lunatic - whats your excuse?

naturalbaby · 14/01/2011 22:12

Hmm how do you accidentally click on a thread about cloth nappies to be horrified about the comments about ... Cloth nappies? (strokes stash of purple fluffy nappies)

theresapotatoundermysink · 14/01/2011 22:13

Okay, okay I thought Connie was being ridiculous as I have many friends who use cloth nappies and rarely talk about them or 'brag' and most certainly don't march in a brigade.

But whats with the aggression guys? 'shitfestering nappies...'
'piss soaked gel crystals'

Chill the fuck out. I get you now Connie.

Cain · 14/01/2011 22:14

Its not about cloth nappies thought is it? Its about the cloth nappy brigade.

pointydog · 14/01/2011 22:20

What sort of daily life do you have when you have no interest in cloth nappies but you seem to read and hear all about them, endlessly?

I'm not interetsed in cloth nappies, I don't read about cloth nappies and I know absolutely nothing about them. I'm happy. And so are the people who like cloth nappies, I presume.

So where are you going wrong?

And if you are so annoyed by the Cloth Nappy Brigade, why are you talking about cloth nappies on mumsnet?

Go and mingle with people less likely to use cloth nappies and stop whinging.
