Nappy Chat #3 - Fluff Between The Ears

[PurplePidjin]

New fred

Love it!

Done my good deed for today :o someone looking for a cheap nappy to use to demo at my local hospital on fb, so i put her in touch with the library and offered to lend. Voila, one donation!

Excellent stuff, I think I've just read it.

My converts fluff has arrived with her today.

My convert's fluff arrived today too. You haven't sold a load of bambino mio 16lb+ have you?

No, I've never used them. The only fluff I need to sell are the Easy Peasy Bimbles.

Convert bought some LL off EBay.

R is 13lb 6oz, little gannet :o

Cool, big growth all round then!!! I didn't make it to Baby Clinic, I've been running late all day!

It rained and hailed here today, wtf?! What is going on with this weather? Will I ever get my nappies on the line again?! Jealous of your new airer rrrreow

Anno, no wonder people are getting ill.

Its been raining on and orf here for days too but Ive still been leaving stuff on the line. Out doors-y freshness. Lush.

My Nin (Nana) had one of those airers on the kitchen ceiling. Happy memories

It took 1.5. Hours to tidy ds1s tiny box room before. What a messy little herbert!

It's so c-c-c-coooooold today! Bizarre.

I can't wait for my airer to be up. I went for a 6 slat one and it's 1.5m long. So 9m of nappy drying space!!

Cool. I read that having a fan blow on your laundry will help it dry quicker. Makes sense really as the wind dries it quicker outside. Just dint forget ti open a window/put a dehumidifier on!

The airer will be fixed near the door to the roof terrace, so can definitely leave the door ajar for quicker drying. Will also be good to get the nappy drying process out of our bedroom as we have a humidifier in there which I'm sure is a bit counterproductive. Oh and I get some FLOORSPACE back!

NH, if your nappies get rained on do you wash them or rinse them again or anything? Keeping a window open make a if difference, I have been known to have the heating on or the heated airer, and a window open

We're planning to get our loft converted into a room and I will lose the space at the rope of the stairs where I currently keep the airer permanently up... I don't know what I'm going to do! rrreow please can you send me the link to your airer? Maybe I can find a way to incorporate it into the new loft!

Nope, I wait til they're dry and use them. Rain water on nappies is wonderful stuff. Its gets rid of smells and they feel different.

Another one here who leaves the window open with the heating on!

That Stinkpot detergent is good, has been used on fruit salad pooplosions and got it all out! I shall see what the next few washes has in store using it.

I need a heated airer. Or more nappies

Actually i think i do need more nappies. I've been changing bamboo boosted easyfits every 2 1/2 hours so sacked them off in favour of the size 1 fitteds. I now change every 4-5 hours during the day and use the size 2 fitteds with wool overnight. Anyone know what vguc easyfits are worth? Not sure what version, some bamboo some microfibre

This is the one I got: www.clothesmaid.com/Products/91-sixer-airer.aspx

PP I'd try and get a minimum of £10 each. Maybe even more if they're in vg condition and discount multiples. Did you buy them new or second hand? Sell on FB group.

I sold most of my Easyfits for £7.50 each. Do need to sell my Bimbles though to make funds for wraps.

Are heated airers any good??

Are heated airers any good?? I read some reviews on amazon a while back and they tend to be good if you cover them with something (like a sheet) so you've created a kind of hot air 'pocket'. If you leave them just like a normal airer then only the bits that are actually touching the metal get dry and the rest takes pretty much as long as normal.

Hi, just wanted to ask about selling nappies - got a few bundles of tots bots, baby beehinds and bumgenius to sell.

Are there any sites which are recommended? I did look in the For Sale section on there, but there aren't many posts so I wondered if there wasn't much traffic...

Any pointers? EBay seems to only sell new ones these days...

Facebook groups (I believe they are closed groups so you have to join them first before you can post):

CBM Sales
Preloved Cloth Nappies and Accessories

eBay officially don't allow you to sell used nappies, but you can just select 'new' when you list them and put in the title/description that they're used. I have bought a lot of used nappies off eBay. You do obviously run the risk of your listing being removed, but I see so many used nappy listings on there I don't think they're that hot on removing them.

Hi Sunset, Ive sold and bought loads off Ebay we've just stated Pre loved etc in the description. Ive also sold them on the FB pages Rreow mentioned below.

Hmm, heated airer is not for me as it will be used as a tent by the boys!!

Have you got any fitteds, Sunset?
