Sandys, kissaluvs or swaddlebees?

I'm building my real nappy stash and want to get some nice fitteds. DD is 11 months, petite and slim. I'm leaning towards the Sandys, I have some ME one size and like them... Any recommendations?

I like sandy's, but they are a bit bulkier than other nappies. However they are very absorbant and fitted my tall, slim ds very well. In fact they were the only nappy that survived a night without leaking (although that was with a booster as well). They should last you till potty training if you buy the large as they are pretty high in the rise. I haven't tried the other two so can say anything about them.

I haven't tried sandys - I love swaddlebees They are so neat looking. I had kissaluvs for a while but they didn't last very long.

I love Sandy's and nowhere near as bulky as a Tots Bots even if you do have to boost them

Defintely Sandys, I have 2 kissaluvs, and I don't like them! I do have one swaddlebees, and it is really nice, but they are very expensive I think?

I have all of them . I would say the nicest is the swaddlebees, but they are very expensive and not very adjustable size-wise, so don't know whether they would last as long as the others (in terms of fitting). Kissaluvs are nice, but the colour washes out and I can see that they might wear out quicker than the others. They dry fast, though, which is nice. Sandy's (I have the organic ones) are pretty absorbent, take longish to dry, and are probably the best value of the ones you've mentioned.

The swaddlebees are really nice though...

Thanks for the advice! Looks like I'm going to go with the Sandys!

I have one swaddlebee stuffable (is that the one you ment?) and I was not impressed with it. I found the sizes a bit tight (though not a prob if dd is slim) and if she is a heavy wetter, then avoid them.

I really wanted to like them and love the look of them. Just cant get them to last for ds.

hana · 17/04/2007 20:33

I have lots of kissaluvs and a few sandys. Prefer the kissaluvs thb. dd was also fairly slim and petite, and I just liked the fit better.

hana · 17/04/2007 20:34

just read rest of thread - I have unbleached kissaluvs sothere's been no loss of colour
