Getting clothes to fit over reuseable nappies

[Jane99Thomas]

I struggle in getting trousers to fit my 8 month old son, with his cloth nappy on.

Would love to shop at places like cut 4 cloth, but out of my budget, so where in the high street can one buy trousers that go over cloth nappies?

Thanks

get jogging bottom type trousers, not fitted jeans which are designed for disposables. All 4 of mine were in cloth.
I'm now struggling with a 4yo in nappies that no clothes will fit. This will be an ongoing issue as she'll always be in nappies. She's in jogging bottons or leggings but they are getting harder to find.

I find tesco jeans are great as they are cut a bit bigger. Tescos also do great jogging bottoms for £3!!

I find the trousers with elastic waist fits better, avoid Next Jeans tho, as they do not fit over cloth bottoms!!

and Gap is rubbish for clothies too so be pleased you're on a budget

personally I just buy a bigger size and roll up the ankle cuff, or buy cropped/rollup trous in bigger sizes when they're available (ie during the summer) and wear them as normal-length trousers through the winter

H&M. I just bought a pair of jeans (with adjustable waist) for ds2 who is 14 months, they were £5.99 and quite nice I thought. Also I think next do adjustable waists - that's often the problem with standard trousers. I'm also looking into making some, there's a recent thread on patterns (which I started).
George also do some quite baggy style trousers which would suit and cheap as chips.

hello,
I have 2 boys one just being potty trained but all supermarket trousers are good, especially sainsburys, and they do jeans with elastic waists, I also second H&M

Although I did buy the cut4cloth jersey trousers (they're £8.50 if you look around) and they're really nice actually. Nice to have something that fitted and looked nice for once, I do get sick of baggy stuff on him as he's pudgy anyway! Last really well, so if you're thinking of a 2nd?...

I always liked dungarees better. Trousers seemed to dig in more, sometimes over waistband and caused leaks. Short dungarees in summer! Sorted!

I found Tesco clothes good on a budget. Joggesr or jersey trousers are always good. I think the vests from Cut 4 cloth are great and worth the extra cash. If you hunt around you can find some tiems cheaper on the internet.

I have also dreamed of making clothes myself but never quite got round to it.

I found it was just at a particular age that the clothes from the shops didnt fit. I think it was around 8 m to just over a year.

But, I bought some bright bots trousers from Twinkle and they were great. I knew I could have bought similar a little cheaper elsewhere, but they lasted and lasted.

Cut4Cloth have a sale on on their website ATM, still a little expensive but fantastic quality, just got some stuff for DS2 and DD (who is out of nappies but the stuff is lovely . With C$C you are also paying for the organic cotton and Fairtrade conditions they are made under, which is why I am happy to splurge a little bit more on them!
