Another question. Anyone using Boots all in one reusable?

Ive just bought a boots all in one disposable to try. It looks very nice and is all soft and pretty, but I wonder if it is any good. It was £7. The inner is flanellette with a sort of attached flannelette liner and the outer is nylon/pvc. It has velcro fastening and suits 7-20 lbs. I thought one was worth a try

Anyone tried it/used it/have an opinion?

Ive been told that this is like a kushie/kooshie. Washed it. Taking ages to dry. I suppose you cant tumble it because it doesnt say on the packet.

Not tried it, but I have just bought a bumgenius - it is about £13 (so nearly twice the price), but is meant to be a birth to potty type, and has a micro fibre removable inner bit so it dries really quickly.

Sorry I can't help with the boots though :(

just been given some kushies for dd and they seem to be ok. Only thing is they seem a gape a little on DDs legs but then she is a funny shape. They are good for family to use as it takes away the fiddling with wraps and nappy which seem to confuddle my older pil.

Interested in this thread?

We have one, it isn't really the best nappy for catching poo! Our DD has fairly little thighs and it simply gapes around the legs! I think it'd suit a chunkier baby, it's also hard to adjust because the straps really don't stretch that far - so it seems as if you'll get a lot of wear from it, but really I don't think we will.

Sorry I can't be more positive, but if your baby has thick legs/isn't a messy BF baby, it'd probably be fine!

Ours is now used boosted up for a night time nappy!

I have put this on but it didnt seem to fit very well. Our baby is on the smallish side, 13lb @ 5month, not particularly chubby, but she does have those chubby baby thighs with the rolls of fat at the top Grin. It looked like it would leak around the legs. So I left it off and used terries then Bambino Mio, which I am happy with.

Nappyzone · 06/02/2008 21:09

wow an almost 2 yr bump!! feeling nostalgic!

oliviaelanasmum · 06/02/2008 21:12

I tumble dry kushies, i didn't think not too

gigglewitch · 06/02/2008 21:13

I have a couple of these along with our kooshies, used them on all 3 DC. yes they machine wash, tumble dry (on medium, not hot), fit child til 3yo - all in all quite a bargain. Rubbish for night time use on its own though, better to use something with booster or stuffing . we used kooshies with big booster which was fine.

gigglewitch · 06/02/2008 21:15

think i can't spell kushies tonight... where did that "oo" come from
i brain ded

nappyaddict · 06/02/2008 21:35

so you can tumbledry the boots ones on medium .. it doesn't have to be low? are the boots ones ok at night time if you boost them?

gigglewitch · 06/02/2008 22:20

hope i'm not misleading you my washer/dryer doesn't have a low or cool setting so "medium" may be quite erm not hot IYSWIM...
the boots ones always seem to leak at night, dunno if it is the shape - of the nappy or the kids

nappyaddict · 06/02/2008 22:28

oh right so you have a medium and a hot setting but not a low one ... so medium might really be low?

gigglewitch · 06/02/2008 22:35

possibly. probably. erm, yes, i presume so.
I also tend to wash and dry them in the evening (put them on to wash / 60mins dry before bathing DC) so by the time the little monsters are asleep they're finished, then i stick them over the radiator to do what my mother calls "airing" [she won't wear anything unless it's been on her airing cupboard shelf for a week...]
They survive scorching hot radiators too

Just bought some today, they have £1 off!

horsemadgal · 15/02/2008 12:17

They are similar to Kushies but worse. I didn't like them. Suppose handy in the change bag though.
Kushies used to be called Kooshies!
