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 was rubbing it on my cheek. Its lovely. Are you still in pot??

Sounds lovely soft and snuggly! Is thefleecy outside waterproof?? Has anyone used boots waterproof pants as a nappy wrap? Ther have a pack of 5 for just a few £ and it says they're for using over terries. Any thoughts?

mrstiggy yes, it is a built in waterproof what with thin fleecy type lining, and a hole at the back to stuff.

I have vague recollections of wearing plastic pants as a child and they are not good memories. I think they would be sweaty, not very good at containment, and hard to get a snug fit. I may be wrong though. I think the fabric they use now is much kinder on the skin, and a bit breathable, plus the plastic pants get brittle over time and crack.

notgrownup I am guessing you are referring to my leg? No cast or boot now. Ongoing pain, but it is gradually easing. I can drive now! I am due in 6 weeks so the bump is my biggest issue at the moment. If you are referring to cannabis, it is a long long long time since I indulged in such things

Hmm think I'll give the plastic pants a miss then...

I love 'belly dweller'! Glad to hear the leg is getting better VQ 6 weeks isn't long! I'm getting all broody now....

Belly dweller is nicer than parasite I figure even though he is, draining every ounce of energy I have! I may be judging the plastic pants unfairly. Perhaps if you have a look at some reviews? Or start a specific thread about them? Sometimes the old ways are the best.

Of course i meant er th

E cast (stupid phone)

Im running out of room to store all the nappies i keep on buying off Ebay.

Was meant to be having a sweep today but mw are too busy. Im fecking massive.

notgrownup I so know what you mean. I want to buy lots of the eBay cheapies now. Maybe one a week? I want the giraffe print, and the tiger, etc. they are lovely.

I got some this morning and the minkies are Dudeybaba and the others babyland and haute traditional pockets. I think they'll suit a smaller baby but will try them out during the day with ds2.

There are so many types. It is mind boggling.

Hi girls - been in summer hols land, not been on MN for ages!
VALIUM what ebay cheapies have you bought? Which vendors? And how much?
I'm waiting for one from LottiesLittleFeet2010 to see what it's like (£3.90 incl 1 insert). I have not tried any minky ones - but am now tempted....

Must-stop-buying!!

Whats a holiday??

Bestclothdaiper01 is the seller I used. Not perfect feedback, but they sell a lot. I have only the one Alva Baby nappy version 3, which is bigger I think. It fits my 2.4yo with room to spare, and is quite like a fuzzibunz. It seems well made, my DD loves it, and comes with a microfibre insert. I have used it a couple of times so far, with a bamboo booster and it is doing fine. There are other sellers and nappies available, and I do not have an affiliation with the seller

It was. £3.90 but is coming from china so will take a while. Free delivery.

Thats who I saw selling those ones. Even if it does turn out to be a shite purchase it was only a few quid.

I've sent off an order to China - the designs are great! It's funny how obsessed we get with a pattern or colour that let's face it is very unlikely to be seen, as we get very few days where baby can strip down to their nappy in this country!!
My Lotties order has still not come but in response to my 'where is it please?' message they have said they'll put another one in the post - very good response. Will feed back on what it's like once I've got it and had a go!
My summer hols were spent camping, and at home looking after kids, doing prep with DS1 for 11plus, and building DS1 and DS2 a platform bed - no sunbathing or beaches [except one beach in wales...]

I have ordered another cheapie. Giraffe. DD gets so excited when she has her cow nappy on, and refuses to get dressed! Thankfully we have a warm house. I love cloth!!!

Rejoining this thread...and I haven't read all the thread yet, sorry. I'm in a conundrum. DS has started to pee more all of a sudden. He leaks the size 2 LL wrap within an hour! So, I wanna buy yet more nappies and wraps of course. So far, we've been on separates. Even though he's a bit over 10kg he's never got on with the Itty Bitty medium SI2. Bit fustrating. Any ideas? I'm tempted by the Lollipop bamboos recommended by a poster just upthread. I'd be happy to buy used though - perhaps LL size 2? I'm on the pre-loved cloth nappies facebook page, but nothing that tempts me. Everyone else but me finds used nappy bargins on ebay...except me! Any advice/help very much appreciated

LeBFG are you using bamboo with an extra booster? I have little lamb and tots bots bamboozles size 2 and they will last overnight with a booster, or for longer car trips where I need the security and cannot change 2 hourly. I would be surprised if he could out-wee that combination, especially if booster is to the front.

I have decided I am not so keen on washables when there is poo involved! I love them, but wonder why I bother when I am washing the poo out. Disposables are so much easier from that respect!

In relation to eBay, you will get more luck if you try for local pick up items. I think they are going for silly money at the moment, so prefer to look for offers on new ones. Got some lovely nappies for £3-4 from Little Lambs by liking their FB page and watching for offers, plus used my Tesco points in their exchange for my tots bots.

The LL size 1's are just too small I reckon, even with the booster. Plus they're starting to rub his legs. He's just gone/still going through a growth spurt! Where will it end?

I so agree about ebay - some used, stained, smelly (as per description) LLs went for 3.90 a nappy the other night . I had much better deals on Cloth Nappy Tree. Ho hum.

Also, I'm in agreement about the poo Valium! I've got morning sickness so particularly sensitive at the moment. DS always has a giant poo just after he wakes up so I've had to put him in a disposable o/n so he can do his deed and I can throw it away. Basta.

At 10KG you need a size 2 LL.

I must admit I have considered putting a disposable on after dinner as that is when she usually has a poo, the little rascal has started doing on on waking though, on a saturated stinky night nappy. Yuk! I must get into a habit of using the fleece liners. Not got the shape just right yet though.

Yeah, I'll need to fork out again, just when I thought I'd sorted out DS til potty training . I have some larger Nature Babies Diddy Diapers so I thought I'd be able to stretch these out with the size 1's....not to be, it seems.

I just 'liked' the little lambs facebook site - do I just wait for the offer to arrive? Or do I need to email them?

Fleece liners are good but I always find a bit, or more than a bit, slides off onto the nappy so not ideal. The days he has a roll-off poo are pretty great days

Keep an eye on the website and they will advertise an offer every few weeks. The offers will be limited numbers or time. I usually do a post on here once I have bought some. How old is DS?

I agree about poo always missing a bit of the liner. Still easier with fleece though.

DS is 18mo, is average height but on the skinny side, so he's outgrown 18m clothes lengthwise but trousers slip down his hips if he's not wearing a nice fluff nappy. The size 1s were doing OK with a booster for a few hours, they fitted his waist but now they rub a bit, hang too low and quickly become saturated. So time for a change. So annoyed the Itty Bittys are not up to the job tbh.
