WONDEROOS - Experiences Please - and a Q for NAPPYZONE

Has anyone used the Hip Hip Baby Wonderoos (btp) for any length of time? I'm just wondering how they stood up to repeated use -especially the MF inserts.

Nappyzone - I saw you haven't stocked the wonderoo inserts - the two that snap together if needs be. Just wondered why. The ones I have in my trial kits have fallen to bits after hardly any use - wondered if you had heard bad things about them or if you just preferred the GADS (which are fab imo too)

I have - they're fine. The new MF inserts look a bit dubious, so I'm not overly keen now. My old ones have been fabulous though.

I am starting to lean towards using GAD with them too - they aren't as bulky and no poppers.

I have wonderoos and really like them although I am currently on a bumgenius binge . The colours stay lovely and bright, the fleece stays lovely and white, all in all very good.

A couple of the MF inserts are a bit worse for wear, one of the poppers fell off one of them within weeks of getting them and on a couple the stitching has come undone so all of that is a bit rubbish but doesn't seem to have affected the absorbancy/function.

I would maybe try other inserts with them in future though.

I find them huge so prefer the gads or an ellas house in them. I have been using them a while sinc ehe was about 4 months and hes still fairing well and they do look in ggod form still.

Thanks very much for all the info.

I put a GAD inside one today and agree they do fit well. Just really not sure about those wonderoo inserts and it sounds like others have got the same doubts - they are huge aren't they!

Maveta - are the BG hugely better than the wonderoos IYO? Just heard a lot about the aplix wearing with time and the pul. If I could still find the V2 BOGOF then I might have been tempted to recommend them.

I'm asking on behalf of someone with a 5MO and a budget. It's their first baby so it would be nice to recommend a pocket nappy that will last long enough to do another baby if neccessary.

I like them both for different reasons - The wonderoos are better on a chunky baby than the bg, but the bg look neater. Th benefit of the wonderfull inserts is that you can just use the little one when the baby is newborn.

Thankyou slugsnsnails . This DS is quite chunky so maybe best stick with the wonderoo!
