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]

I am pretty sure tots bots do both wraps and easyfits in jubilee. I am tempted myself.

Ok, I think it will be boosters for now. Where's the best place to get them?
Sorry, I am the question queen today!:)

I got mine from Little lambs but I will have a quick google.

wants I think totsbots recommend their bamboozle stretch for wearing overnight rather than the easyfit, they certainly did when I was at their stand during the baby show.... I bought some for overnight and they gave me totsbots covers to go with them but I've bought motherease rikkis and a blueberry coverall as their containment is supposed to be much better than the tots bots! You'll only need a couple of wraps if you just need them overnight?

I've heard little lamb are good too... I bought mine from the nappy lady and have seen them fairly cheaply going on eBay.

Look to spend about £7 for 5, or £12 for 10. Nappy Lady has them for sale 10 for £9.99 but only free postage over £10, fill your pants have free postage but no cheaper. eBay you can buy individual ones for a couple of quid, but you will need a few as they take a while to dry. You may find a better deal.

About wraps, rikki are sized, but blueberry are universal. That makes it a winner for me.

Thanks for pointing out Fluff Heaven Kellbells, they have some great offers. The little lamb and blueberry bundle might be of interest to you valium?

Belmo, the Nappy Lady recommends Mio Solos for big babies, might be possible to find some pre-loved somewhere?

Has anyone tried Flip disposable inserts? Thinking of trying them as we're off to visit SIL in Germany soon, and won't have much space in luggage for big cloth nappies. Fluff heaven has a trial kit for £25, but that still seems a lot given I actually do have nappies, and I could just buy disposables on offer in tescos if I really can't fit the cloth in...

So question is, will the Flip wraps work on other nappies, and are the inserts any good??

I will have a look blossom thank you.

I think the disposable inserts are pretty expensive personally. What I have done in the past is cut the pad out of value nappies and used them when on holiday. The value ones are a lot better now ( mostly) as not so plasticky. The Sainsburys ones are good.

It would still be cheaper to buy the equivalent from the nappy lady, and considering I got ten bamboo little lambs for £30 in their sale recently.... Also their BOGOF offer on the blueberries is more expensive than the nappy lady. Thank you for thinking of me though. I am on the look out for microfibre little lambs and more blueberries. I love the dinosaur cover!

I guess I should get my Fuzzis listed. I will save the smalls for the first few weeks until he fits the lambs and tots properly, as they are good for sizing around skinny legs.

I like the look of the flip training pants, but at £27 seems pretty pricy. Comes with three inserts, but even so...

Oh yes I forgot about the Nappy Lady offer on LL. Do you just put the disposable pads in a pocket nappy of some sort?

Perhaps it is worth a try at home before you go, but I would think so. I put them in Fuzzis, but they still needed washing each time. If you have a flip wrap or a blueberry I am sure they would do fine and just need a wipe mostly.

I really like the look of the flip nappies, but I think I have enough to be going on with.

I have read up more about microfibre LLs, and decided against them as they seem to need changing 2 hrly, so I will use the bamboos and tumble if I need them. Or more likely get more when sale is next on.

VQ did you like the look of the LL microfibre because of the drying time? If so, have you looked at the bumgenius v4.0 (pocket) or the freetime (aio)? They're both supposed to be super fast drying (wash in the morning, dry by the afternoon on an airer) and I've got a couple of friends who absolutely swear by them and they can apparently go 3hrs + with the bg boosters and longer if you chuck a bamboo booster in there. Not cheap but worth keeping an eye out for on offer?.. Although I did get a v4 on eBay in great condition for £4!

Ps... Apologies for the multitudes of 'ands' in that post...it's way too early for me

Thank you kel I was wanting fast dry ones, but as DD is a heavy wetter they need to be absorbent too. I really want something interchangeable with the wraps I have, and not too pricy. I would rather not get more pockets or aio's. I have 4 aio's on order so if they work well I may get more.

I do think aio's are best for nursery, and they change them far too often anyway. At set times, not when wet like we would with bigger children. She is only at nursery mornings usually, so 4 should be enough. When we are out and about I need a reliable nappy. For the little one I plan to use Fuzzis until he drenches them as I do love them so!

Off to look at bum genius and freetime nappies. I am also gonna look at pads for the Fuzzis. I made my own before out of microfibre cloths from pound land. Probably not the best there is eh?

You have really got it bad haven't you kel. I dreamed that I designed a new fabric that was so thin, so absorbent and dried in minutes, and managed to overtake Tots Bots in popularity! It smelled of strawberries too, even when soiled! I wish!

I almost used my Tesco vouchers to get a couple of packs of tots bots but had a quick look on amazon first.I found a couple of cool all in ones by canny mums in the sale so I now have 4 nappies in my amazon basket and I can't decide what to go for. DH is a one nappy man but I quite like the idea of collecting different ones as baby has a good 2 1/2-3 years use out of them. We like to have different underwear so I think babies should too! I think I might be getting addicted to fluff

My Tesco parcel has just arrived. No instructions with the Tots Bots so have put the Bamboozles on for pre-washes, and easy fit is on DD2 already. She is due a poo so I used the white ones rather than the flower ones. Not sure if they need pre-washing or not. I guess not as not bamboo. Time will tell I guess. Easy fit is very slim fitting.

wants resistance is futile. You are addicted for sure!

Oops, apparently they have bamboo and microfibre in them, and should be pre-washed 10 times. Sod that! They are lovely, and part of me wishes I had bought more easyfits, but I know the bamboo will be good, and these have yet to prove themselves. Pretty is not enough. They have to do the job too.

Not impressed by the nappy lady as apparently my card has been declined. I ordered them days ago, but she did not mail me until yesterday, and by the time I had re-entered my details, she was closed until Friday as moving. I want my blueberry now! Grr!

The tots bots wrap in the bamboozle pack looks pretty feeble, and no gusset. It looks really cheap and nasty.

Ladies (and possibly men), how do you store these huge nappy stashes? We have a rather crowded nursery/spare room set up, and am currently using a collection of ikea cloth box things stacked up on shelves but any other ideas would be welcome as we're about to do a re-jig of the room.

As of last weekend I have a fluff tower
Ikea CD rack tucked in a handy nook beside the changing table in DD2's room. I could squeeze 3 in each slot, I reckon but the size of my current stash plus the fact that there are always some in the wash means that I only need a maximum of 2 in at the moment. It looks fab! And much less of a ball ache that going in and out of a drawer all the time.

Oh wicket what a good idea! As my DD is 2 she is changed downstairs, so I have a nappy box (Johnson one) that is on a shelf with the changing mat, and I have a couple in there at all times. I leave the others on the airer as they do not have a proper home. They are mostly bamboo so take forever to dry. I have a broken leg so cannot be up and down the stairs.

With my new baby I will have a similar set-up to wicket as I have an Ikea CD rack gathering dust.
