Would anyone be interested in a general nappy chat thread?

[TribbleWithoutACause]

I can't be the only one with a bit of a nappy obsession.

Can I? [confussed]

Laughing and also bleeuurrghh-ing at the pre-gored pads, I need a now to recover from the trauma...

Love pre-popped/cherry popped the best - the others, frankly, bleugh!!!

The whole concept is, frankly, bleugh! Might as well go back to the dark ages of crocheting your own and hooking them on to your girdle!

Well as we're all so crafty maybe we should! (definitely a joke...!)

But surely the bestest of bestest lentil-weaver would want to recycle? I'm with VQ - there must be a specialist market of men wishing to buy cherry poppers.

I've seen csp on the preloved fb boards.

Do people not realise that the bacteria in blood needs to be boiled at 90* to kill it? Like cooking meat! Completely different to waste products on nappies which have been filtered by the stomach and kidneys.

But men will pay for it.

Pre splatted? PAF - pre aunt flo? Pafpads?? You'd have to make sure you've checked you've removed any stray pubes before you sold them though.

Ill get me coat.

What have I started haha!

Do you think you would get more money from the dirty market for 'after labour' pads

buscits my OH had a great night out and me and baba had the big bed all to ourselves as he was relegated to the couch because he stunk and snores when pissed. Sunday he regretted it abit as babies don't go easy on hangovers haha!

Ooooo so just been buying some more eBay cheapies and was messing with the options to see how much one would be then 3 wih inserts ect and the prices were all the same, the options weren't changing! So iv took the opertunity to buy 3 if 3 come I will kick myself for not ordering more nappies wih 2 inserts each for £4.98

Will let you know if 3 turn up or just one!

numpty hmm. Fingers crossed. If so do send me a linkey

As for the rest of you... Gross!

Just got a message from eBay

'Sorry you have only placed an order for 1 Reusable nappy, design number 3 with inserts. This nappy was dispatched to you today.'

Boooooo hiss!

Number 3 is pink.... I did not order that one!

So in conclusion the eBay cock up did not work in my favour, I now have a nappy on its way that OH wont let near my DS haha time

Oops! I do find ordering a tad confusing on some of the china cheapies. I prefer the single listings where there is a clear picture of what you are getting. About 30p extra, but worth it for peace of mind IMO.

A sad day today. The washables are being put aside until after my section as DH feels he cannot manage them too. He might change his mind after stripping the bed a couple of times, especially as the girls are insisting in sleeping in our bed when I am in hospital

My boy will be wearing pink. Nowt wrong with a pink nappy.

If Paul Hollywood can carry off pink then a baby boy can carry off a pink nappy. Its metrosexual you know.

I'm all for putting him in pink, it's his daddy I have to convince! I suppose he should be grateful it's not a pretty frilly one which I have asked myself if he could pull off
If I had a girl I think I would be bankrupt the pretty nappies really are beautiful

Surely it makes no odds under clothes? What do they think will happen, that the baby will catch The Gay from a pink object? (bastardised version of dp's opinion btw!)

Ha yeah, thats dh's thinking. He didnt want ds1 to have a doll and toy pushchair when ds2 came along so we could look after the babies together.

Girls wear blue.

The pocket nappies have rubbed off the top layer of new boys skin so I might keep him in the Bamboozles for a bit til he gets bigger.

Have to admit, i wouldn't buy and deliberately dress him in girl shaped clothes for a boy and vv. But if ds wants to play imaginatively and choose so-called girl activities or clothes, that's his choice. Same goes for tv character stuff. Plenty of time for that when they're old enough to whinge for plastic tat express a preference - up till then, it's nice colours, stripes etc!

notgrownup poor baby boy! What pocket did that? Where did it hurt him? Hope it is soon healed.

All of them, hes got really skinny legs and i cant get a snug enough fit with them. Its round the tops of the inner thigh, luckily he doesnt seem bothered by it so until he chubs up round there a bit more ill stick with the TB.

Hes started gurgling and smiling more now its so funny.

Yep PP, I agree.

My babies are pre-chubbed. Never had a scrawny one yet. It is amazing how quickly they develop. I am going to really try to enjoy the newborn moments, even though they look 3months old in this family.

Peppa pig and princesses and Barbie and polly pocket and one direction all figure largely in this house. And that is just DH.

oooh, not sure I should join in here. might be dangerous

my girls were both in cloth, and ds (12 weeks) is now. I used MEOS and Sandys for the girls, but when I looked at buying new wraps (sorely needed, as had been through both girls and were a little sorry looking), I found that I could buy ds new nappies for the price of what I woudl spend on wraps (would only buy motherease airflow, as they were fantastic)

so, thanks to a zulily promotion and the MN code, ds is now in rather fetching Charlie Banana pocket nappies which are coping with his power wees very well. we were staying ith friends this weekend, so he was in disposables, and the amount of leaks we had was ridiculous . thankfully back to his fab fluff now.

I am looking to offload my Sandys - anyone know where best to do this? do I have to go through the faff that is ebay?
