Which are the best real nappies?

[Sallie]

My sister is expecting in the summer and wants to use real nappies. She is cost conscious so what is the best value starter pack? And which are the best real nappies in everyone's opinion as I am tempted to use them next time.....

I use Terries for speed of drying but I've heard that Tot Bots are very good if you don't mid the extra drying time.

I have and am at the moment using Imse Vimse which are great because you don't need to buy different size nappies as they grow just the wraps which cuts the cost. They wash and dry well.

I used nappy nation, which were great, quick to dry, can't remember how much they cost (over 2 years ago). Good info from www.twinkleontheweb.co.uk or ec-babes.co.uk (sorry, can't do links)

If she wants to watch the cost then i'd go for just plain old terry squares. They cost on average around £10 for 6. Shaped nappies and the like are around £6 each.

I really think your sister should go to thea nappy lady . It really is the best place to start.
I didn't have the first idea about real nappies 8 months ago. Now with advice from Mumsnet and excellent help from the nappy lady advisor I am an out and out nappyaholic!!
