how many nappies do u own

[babyjjbaby]

i have got 35 including the tots bots bamboozles which i got off used nappies yesterday they are mostly terry squares but i will have 8 tots bots i have got 1 prefold about 4 kushies classics i have got far too many my nappy bucket only hold bout 10 nappies

nope

maybe it has got the pocket though because this one has apparently but it's not obvious in the photo from what I can see

ere babyjj just had a thought - do you know your much-wanted orange bamboozle is likely to fade pretty quickly? My orange rainbow bots faded very quickly when I put them on the line in the sun some colours seem to fade more than others.

err..

28 little lambs
6 bamboo little lambs
3 totbots (just brought 5 more from my sister so actually 8)
2 small nappies (not sure of the name)
1 motherease and have brought another 5 from a Mnetter

oh and tons of prefolds.. Babyjjbaby, have sorted out some for you tonight.

Oh 'eck i must be tired! I thought the thread title said 'How many babies do you own'

and I have also have to pay for another 5 totsbots. I think I have far too many.

no idea!!

but i still want all these

BBM - what do you wash them/soak them in cos that could be what's fading them. tea tree and lavender oil both cause fading.

Nappyaddict - they have all been sold on now but at the time they were dry pailed and washed in Ecover. I'm pretty sure it was the bright Cornish sunshine that did it - it also made all my unbleached nappies look bleached

oh right that's a shame i do lovea bright white nappy though.

did have lots.now about 7-8 day ones,a night one and about 20 plus terries just incase!but ds is potty training so no nappies except night since sunday!

BigBadMouse thanks i will see how much it goes for i can't aford anything now

SparklyGothKat ok thanks please don't send me ur really good ones when u could sell them as i don't think they are anygood on him but am stil trying i don't want u to be out of pocket

onepieceoflollipop - Thank you, I would love it if you could send them to me! I dont seem to be able to message on here, my email though is: [email protected] Thank you very much, it will really help me out as we are SOO skint! lol. Love washable nappies though!

oh yer, and I had never realise that tee tree and lavender caused fading! I have been using lavender oil - couple of drops in the nappy bucket and a couple in the fabric conditioner draw!

try using white wine vinegar instead of the lavender oil it gets rid of all the nasty smells i promise.

I dont have any white wine vinegar in the house - will normal malt vinegar do?

chloemegjess I will e-mail you in a bit (if dd2 wakes up then it will be tomorrow not today)

Re the vinegar - I recall a recent discussion on this. Apparently the malt type (white or brown) is the "wrong" sort - I read somewhere itcan leave things a bit "sticky" Having said that I have accidentally been using white malt on nappies and sweaty shirt underarms for a long time and have no intention of wasting the rest of the bottle. What we need is "distilled" rather than male iirc.

I have not noticed a problem with the malt I have been using but wouldn't fancy using it if it was the brown sort you put on chips!!

you can use distilled malt vinegar or white wine vinegar.

(that's the clear/white one)

nappyaddict with a name like yours I am going to trust you re the vinegar. I didn't even know there were different sorts of white vinegar until recently.

chloemegjess have e-mailed you.

should have typed malt not male obviously

grapefruit seed extract won't affect the colour btw.

some people use lemon juice but not sure about that one re: colour.

mu baboozles arrived they are luvly and for £21 u can't go wrong

babyjjbaby - What are baboozles? I have never heard of them?
