Slim Fitting Nappies/Trousers to fit real nappies

[aestheticgirl]

Yes terribly vain I know!

Have been using fluffles which a quick to dry but bulky. I need to get a few more nappies anyway and was wondering what people would suggest as a slimer fitting nappy. Still love the fluffles but sometimes a less bulky nappy would be handy, esp when out and trying to get trousers on

Which brings me to my next point, Where would you suggest for clothes to fit real nappies? I've seen a few online (Cut4cloth) but find them really expensive??

I use Fluffles and love 'em I find Mothercare to be quite generous with their cut as are the supermarkets and places like Woolworths and Mackays. I avoid Next, Adams, Baby Gap and Zara as their clothes are two fitted.

I have got some of the new Ella's House Bumhugger thingys which have a detachable booster pad so they dry fairly quickly but are less bulky than the Fluffles - they also look nice too.

Next are awful! As soon as DS got his fluffles I had to take anything that was NEXT out of the system.
Poor DS is only 14.5lb (5mo) and some of his clothes are 6-9month and a bit long of arm or leg!

You need Bright Bots!!

Twinkleontheweb sell their range and they're much cheaper. Very funky I think and great quality. Wash and tumble really well.

I can heartily recommend getting the drawstring trousers from Cut4cloth though - they're £8.99 and indestructable and go with anything. They're massive though - dd is 2 in June and still small for her 12-18 mth size!

I have fluffles too. Next is terrible isn't it!

I have some M&S vests and sleepsuits at the moment which are fab. I go for trousers over dungarees and then just get slightly too big ones and turn the legs up. With dungarees either have the middle poppers undone or have too big ones but then his torso is swamped.

Kids Kaper do gorgeous reversible trousers so you can buy bigger and turn them up without it looking like turn ups IYSWIM.

Kids Kaper

M&S chinos and jeans (jeans are about £4 a pair) are the best. ds2 has a few pairs of them. Cut for cloth stuff is just massive - ds2 had some from MIL for christmas in 18-24 month size and it is still too big now (he is 21 months and not small).

As far as slimmer nappies go I would suggest bamboozles or wambamboos with a rikki wrap or maybe a pocket like fuzzi bunz or bumgenius.

wambamboos - flame converted me

h&m trousers are fab over fluffle bottoms though - they tend to have a full length zip fly, which makes everything much easier!

Only thing with bamboo is (if you are like me and have no tumble drier) they take ages to dry They are slimmer but I find the drying time puts me off.

hi, I find h & m kidswear great for big fat bottoms, don't know about girls though...

if my 18 month old ds wears his h&m stuff with a disp (hols etc) then they can sometimes fall down!

There have been quite a few threads about this in the past if you search products/nappies. The Nappy Lady has some suggestions too I think on her site. There were also two recent threads on slim fitting nappies and I think p'tit dessous (try kittykins) won?
But as a fluffle & wambamboo user on a 2nd child, I find that jeans are just a no-go, I've put them away again! Dungarees that have 2-3 sets of poppers etc on the straps are ok.Trousers that are designed to be baggy are fine, whereas straightlegged ones don't work so well. Personally I'm sticking to sleepsuits most of the time as he just looks better. I find wbb's reasonable compared to fluffles but still not anywhere like a disposable but I expect it will get better when I'm not folding them over (ds2 is 4 months). Also, I find ME airflows squash down the best over both fluffles & wbb's.

totally agree...
my big chunky 18month old still looks great in a big babygro and a snazzy jumper with his wellies and big bum!

he'll wear a babygro at 18 months?! My ds1 wouldn't even wear dungies after a year, sadly.

Tesco value jeans are very roomy for cloth bots!

yeah! he has one on now, he doesnt mind, as long as he is still allowed to roll in the dirt he's happy!

Another vote for Tesco being cheap and well sized.

As for nappies, if you want another microfibre one why not try a micro diddy diaper from Nature Babies

I have to admit, have found tesco good for clothes but the chinos his grandad bought him are a bit of a squeeze. His Boots joggers are ok (now his legs are long enough)

Love him in jeans but have found most of them too hard to get on.

Thanks for all the suggestions, bought fluffles off nappy lady and had seen their suggestions.. but theres loads more here!

Still not sure what to do about the nappies. Maybe I should just go with the JLO bum look, and get more fluffles, he suits it!

Have you considered Bumgenius V2 one-size? It's a pocket nappy that comes with a Microfibre insert and is really quick drying. I wash them every other evening, hang them on an airer and they are always dry by morning.

We use bumgenius exclusively in the daytime for my 17 month old and will do on our newborn when he arrives soon. My son fits all normal clothes just fine with the only exception being Mackays which only fit at the start of the age range.

Bumgenius are generally good, but the velcro on mine started to fail after only a couple of months of use and as time went on would frequently come undone completely. A pain, as otherwise they're a really good nappy.

Wambamboo are the best ime - really slim too.

The only trousers I've ever had problems with over cloth are Mothercare and Next. Don't think any of dd's daytime nappies are as bulky as Fluffles though.

Would agree that Tesco and H&M are pretty roomy.

I've found ladybird trousers very roomy, although their range is pretty limited. Their joggers and jeans are good for round the house and garden etc
