Wonderoos??

[melfi]

I really like the look of wonderoos. Are they good/bad?

Opinions please!!

Sorry, melfi but I found them a really bad buy. I got most of my current cloth nappies when ds3 was about 6-7 months old. He's a skinny 2 year old now and the fuzzi bunz I bought at the time are still going strong but the elastic in the Wonderoos is long gone. I am useless at sewing so haven't replaced it so they are sitting at the bottom of my nappy stash to be used in emergencies only! Also I found them bulky. I bought another one since buying the original 2 and even though the elastic is fine, in the newer one the poppers seem to be of poor quality and don't "click" in properly.
If you like the idea of a birth-to-potty pocket nappy, so far I have found the Bumgenius much better but can't comment on longevity as I haven't had them that long.

I have to say that the new style (Hip Hip Bavy) ones are much better than the older ones. I have never had a problem with Wonderoos but I know many people have, the feedback I am grtting on the new ones is that they are much better and leak less

I am using some new hip hip baby ones and finding them quite good (not as good as Heinys but im a big fan, the insert that came with it didnt last long so i now dont get them with insert and use a green acre insert that seems to absorb better and make the nappy last longer. Not finding a prob with the snaps but i suppose time will tell. Being a birth to potty nappy if the fit is good which i am finding it is i think it represents good value.

Oh yes, forgot to say I never use the micro terry inserts as both my LOs pee for England have always used hemp inserts.

my lo pees to long and fast so the hemp doesnt absorb quick enough!! good for boosting under a microfibre though and i do sell alot as alot of people can get away with them or use as a booster! Snuggle what do you or anyone use on a night as a few people ask me about this but due to a few disasters and nappy rash issues i tend to use a disposable on a night

i have started a new thread onthe night time thing...

BumGenius 1 longevity is sh*te. I had 15 and I think nearly half of them are out of service because the leg elastic has gone or, in one case, the double-sided velcro tab has torn apart. I bought them last June and they'd started to "die" by December.

do you think Bumgenius 2 are any better Soupy?

No idea TBH. They don't look vastly different IMO.
