Are the nappy websites you run your own businesses?

Maveta - caught red handed trying to buy more nappies

Flames is

Yes flame's is, and her service is great, so always happy to recommend her.

I'll second that Flame is lovely and very very friendly/helpful. Now, if she branched out into buggies, i'd have spent a fortune by now....

Yes Flame's is. I've bought from her and it's recommended

lmao!

That appears to have been cleared up for me then...

(love the "mynamesnot... un flamesparrow")

LOL - I thought so but just wanted to check. Wasn´t sure if you were agents for a bigger company or they were actually your own. Good stuff.

Octopussy - don´t know what you are talking about, move along move along, nothing to see here...

No girls, I was just wondering whether you found it relatively hard/ easy/ complicated whatever to set up your own internet business? Not sure if that´s a weird thing to ask but I live in Spain and have been idly wondering about spanish real nappy market. It´s a VERY idle ´wonder´ as I´m about to have my first baby and am not in any way at a point in my life to set up a business but it could be something worth looking into in the future (also presumably once I had some actual practical real life experience of real nappies . They haven´t taken off so far but I´m sure like anything its a matter of time, although I am not sure if it has something to do with problems importing. And that´s where it would all probably get very complicated.

I'm an independent agent with a couple of companies - where i am just starting out it is the best method as it means I can just order as and when, rather than needing to buy in bulk. MAC has been going a lot longer and does wholesale instead

I will send you a CAT

Ooh I´ve never been CATed.. does it involve anything special or do I just wait for an email to arrive??

Maveta - you can join nappies anonymous - great support for addicts!

Not stalking you really!

I don´t need nappies anonymous, I don´t have a problem, I can leave the nappies any time. But I just want to try one more, just the one, go on, don´t cut me off now...just one more won´t hurt...

Okay - just one - maybe a small weenotions?!

Maveta scurries off to google weenotions....

LOL - how well you know me! Kind of scary really..

go on.... all the cool kids are doing it... a tie dye wbb... just one more woollywrap... you'll feel sooo good

Yup - mnhq just send you an email

don't you start flamesparrow..you're all a TERRIBLE INFLUENCE!

(but I love it really...)

OMG actually considering getting a WBB ... scurries off to check bank account!

you know you want too... Purple ones should be in by the weekend...

HA.HA. Octopussy - that's what you get for laughing at other people's addictions! LOL.

Not sure about the tie dye ones but like the pale blue ones - but won't need until size 2! Haven't used bamboo before but have a lollipop one to try so will see how get on first!

The blue bamboos wash out really quickly Mine are all just a sort of bright white colour now (you know when whites have that blue glow)!

I'm cr*p at this sales thing

Maybe not blue ones then LOL!

Hi all,

Makes a Change is my family business, we're stockists (retailers of nappies from stock rather than via agent supply) and wholesalers, not agents (we have a team of agents if anyone's interested!!)

Flame does the FAB tie die WBB which are gorgeous (as well as a great range of other stuff). I just do the normal ones plus other nappy brands, organic baby clothes, toys and fair trade shoes.

I would be DELIGHTED to help anyone thinking of setting up their own nappy company. Don't hesitate to get in touch, Maveta.

Flame's right about the blue WBBs, however the new Bambineos don't have this problem.

However stock of Blue and Pink Bambineos is small until we've sold all the Geobel WBBs, so if anyone specifically wanted BNEOS then let me know when you order.

Emma

Thanks so much to both of you for your encouraging replies. I will indeed be in touch Emma, thank you.

Flamesparrow I haven´t received anything via CAT/email yet but if you want you can contact me on jennie dot douglas at gmail dot com.
