How many reusables do I need, and recommend a wrap style please

[lurcherlover]

I am currently using Bumgenius with ds (16 months) and have five of those, which is obviously basically a day's worth so clearly I need more. He goes to nursery three days a week so won't wear reusables then I shouldn't think, so based on four days a week, how many nappies would you get? I was thinking of doing a washload of them twice a week or so, and I have a dryer. Also, I like the bumgenius but would like to try other styles too, and have heard a lot of people like the wrap style ones. What's the advantage over a pocket nappy like bumgenius, and what brands do you like? Thanks!

Motherease air flow wraps are the most reliable (if boring) wrap in existence for a 2 part system.

Anything with a nippa is good because you get a snug fit.

Personally I found the best ever nappy (and I used it bith to potty on huge children that were heavy wetters) were the easy peasy bumbles, although they now do a bamboo version which is a slimmer fit/more absorbant.

I wouldn't recommend tumble drying btw - we did this and wore our nappies out very quickly compared to line drying. There is no reason why the nursery shouldn't use washable nappies either - they're not allowed to refuse.
