Just had to announce this!! Just come back from hols and put DD in disposables as I couldn't be bothered washing cottons while away and my god they really are sh*te!!! They stink of chemicals, I had gel stuff oozing out of them, she got nappy rash and ended up doing loads of washing from the explosive poos which ended up all over her clothes. Couldn't wait to get home and put her in her lovely, fluffy, big bummed Tots. Aaar rant over!!

Then you might like threads about these subjects:

You're the only one carrying this on, Starlover, the others are just having a laugh!

It's just a badly timed thread after all the formula hoo-ha this morning, I actually thought it was someone having a joke!

IAmTheDevil · 24/08/2005 11:50

I also made FF's ex

and pernod

starlover · 24/08/2005 11:51

yeah you are... but there is no need for anyone to be nasty and post spiteful replies (not specifically you NP) just because they don't agree!

discodolly wasn't getting at anyone, she was just saying that she doesn't like disposable, and quite frankly i can see why!

she hasn't said anything nasty to anyone so why all the vicious replies?

niceglasses · 24/08/2005 11:51

Funny, cos I have used disposables on all my 3, but tried washables for my little girl. Had the worst bum I have ever seen after only a couple of hours . Took weeks to clear up properly. So courses for courses eh??

Lizzylou · 24/08/2005 11:52

Cos they thought she was having alaugh after the Aptimil threads, Starlover, thats why!

IAmTheDevil · 24/08/2005 11:52

ansinthe .. that's one of mine

mwahahahahaha

and red routes

and the M25

starlover · 24/08/2005 11:52

having a laugh at someone else's expense.

excuse me if i am old-fashioned... but i don't think there is anything wrong with having manners and being civil.

starlover · 24/08/2005 11:53

oh right lizzylou... and you can read minds can you?

i just think that the response to a completely innocent thread was very OTT and unnecessary.
have no problem with people voicing their opinion, and agree niceglasses... different strokes for different folks and all that

but it could have been said in a much nicer way

MasterYoda · 24/08/2005 11:53

FF's ex? Truly an agent of the dark side

starlover · 24/08/2005 11:54

i mean, the first reply was "piss off"

was that necessary???

Lizzylou · 24/08/2005 11:54

I give up!
I've explained why the thread title sparked such a response and I was certainly not nasty of spiteful in anyway, just said I DID userdisposables (which I refuse to feel guilty about, having tried cloth types and them not fitting my huge son).

SleepySuzy · 24/08/2005 11:54

I use banana leaves stuffed with moss. Now you can't get greener than that!

MasterYoda · 24/08/2005 11:54

A rant she was having. That do we all.

IAmTheDevil · 24/08/2005 11:55

I made lavenderrrr too

mwahahahahahaha

and judgeflounce

and semi-colons .. they're mine too

Lizzylou · 24/08/2005 11:55

Starlover, no I can't read minds and I am going now cos this is just going round in circles and I'm sick of saying why the comments made were made!!

MasterYoda · 24/08/2005 11:55

Rather addictive this is becoming. Stop this must I.

starlover · 24/08/2005 11:56

lizzylou, i wasn't referring to you being spiteful at all
believe it or not i don't even have a problem with people using disposables! i couldn't care less what nappies people use

but i don't see how you can "explain" why people reacted like they did when you don't even know them

and i still maintain that the reaction to this thread was really nasty and unnecessary

just because of some other heated threads doesn't mean that people can just come and slag off someone they don't even know

starlover · 24/08/2005 11:56

but you don't know WHY the comments were made!

Lizzylou · 24/08/2005 11:59

I know Stalrover, it could be seen to be nasty, but I honestly don't think that it was meant that way...in the context of all the threads this morning, it looked very much like a jokey thread set up to counteract all the Aptimil ones. All a question of timing.
If that isn't why people posted rude responses, then I apologise, I honestly thought that was what was going on.
I'm not being facetious so don't think I deserve a verbal battering for explaining what was going on!!!

starlover · 24/08/2005 12:01

i apologise for verbally battering you!
i just get really cross when i see people who have posted normal threads get such a going-over!

it's no wonder a lot of new people think it's "cliquey" here (not saying it is!)

maybe you're right with the timing thing, i haven't even read the milupa thread... don't have the time or the energy

just hope that discodolly doesn't take it personally!

serah · 24/08/2005 12:03

....and I would like to formally welcome Discodolly to mumsnet.

Another newbie flamed!!

It only gets better from here DD. (Can't get much worse - (can it???)

Lizzylou · 24/08/2005 12:03

S'alright....you had to be there, although I wish I hadn't!!!
No slight at all on what type of nappy anyone uses...just prob a misunderstanding (I hope!)

Anyway, off to make lunch, it's all got too overexcited for me here today!!!
