will someone please slap me........................

[wontbepreggersagain]

and then help me decide on some new nappies- i have been using swaddlebees ocv and fuzzis on the twins but they are getting a bit snug now!

Sooooooo...... i was thinking swaddlebees econappies- pockets, easy and one size so economical.

Why then, after this sensible decision have i just ordered stupid ammounts of blueberry miki side snap pocket nappies! should i send them straight back without even opening them? or do i give them a go?

Give them a go but just use one then surely you can return the others if they are no good. I suspect you will end up with blueberry minkis and swaddlebees and others too....

as an aside I wholeheartedly embrace the sentiment of your talkname

because they are lovely and strokeable .... would the onesize not have served you more economically? Perhaps have a mix - that said the aplix curling offends me on the onesize blueberry so yeye for sidesnaps! Try one first of course!

I embrace your talk name too.......

The perfect nappy does not exist! Believe me, I have tried!

But would return them new/unused for refund. Makes you feel a bit better....

right having discussed the 'ordering 20 blueberries by accident' with dh he has decided that i can keep the blueberries (mind you i did tell him they were about £6 each ) and order some econappies (was going to get 20) as well- i have to have lots of nappies or else no other washing gets done and at least the econappies will last until they are potty trained- in theory!
ha ha- a triumph, the twins will look adorable in their minki pockets, i shall forever be stroking their backsides, and dh is non the wiser that i have just forked out £265 everyone wins!!

as long as they look cute!

You bought 20 I suppose you do have twins! I have owned 3 and was like rocker fella and only got mine when they were uber cheap from usa!! I changed over to GK minkytimes now as we had the sidesnap on unsymetrical popper settings and my ocd could not cope with that!

You're insane you know that???

lmao @ NZ's unsymmetrical poppers!!! Will you be back on the blueberries when he goes unsymmetrical again?

No i cant take the risk - i will stick to my minkytimes.

Oooooooh, are the minkytimes front fastening? (was thinking they had slightly different positioning side snaps)

Ugh - am regretting my purchase of Thirsties. At first they were great, but now they last for about an hour and have to be changed on DD...

Big Bad - how do you like Sandy's organics? They do a Toddler ease in this....

Oh dear ilovemydog not so thirsty after all then

DS has Sandy's normal cotton (not organic) and Sandy's Bamboo. The bamboo ones are lovely and soft - very strokeable (which makes me look like a weirdo at weighing-in clinic if I succomb to the urge). They do take quite a while to dry though, but with this awful weather everything has ben slow to dry. I'd say they take about 1/2 a day longer than normal cotton. Not sure how robust they are yet as they have only been washed twice. They must be very absorbant though because I put them on DS without even prewashing and they lasted well - he's a heavy wetter. He is still in small (just about) but I have some quite well used large here and they don't seem much higher in the rise than the small - could be down to lots of tumbling, I'm not sure, but def check how high the rise is on your DD before buying loads I'd say.

Please don't slap me, big bad, but may have to get another brand! And am not offended that you didn't answer my other previous hijack re: how much to put on Bum Genius V3s....

DD used Sandy's large until a crayon incident, and about the same time, outgrew them, so we know that the brand fits her. (am a bit worried about her as she had to spend night at Children's, but looks like she will come home this morning - frantic worried mother emoticon. She's with her dad as me and DS came home last night)

I DID reply but you ignored me and sold them for less than I suggested (hence the big queue for them when you listed them ).

Hope your DD is OK

sorry - I didn't know you replied.

Flame the minkytimes are the greenkid version - they have aplix fastening with big arms a bit like a happy heiny does. I have just got a new gad which is popper fasteneing but strangely they go on symetrically which is a relief.

DS has a giraffe print minkytime and he really does look like a stripper init - but then he confirms it and does the removing action

Big Bad - am going to get sandy's bamboo (toddlerease). Am selling everything else!

DD is home! , although has to go to GP tmorrow and she's on drugs .

ilovemydog - glad she is home. Chalk the thirsties up to experience .

nappyzone at your GAD (although I have just bought one on here but he won't fit into it yet . I'm glad it's not just me with the unsymmetrical popper thing - I have to fasten then look away quick .

Oh BBM it is ocean blue with black fleece inside and black poppers and a pirate embroidered on the back with Pirate ds name under it - unfortunatly i wont be able to ever sell it on as personalised but then it took me a week to build up to him wearing it so will probs frame it lol!

nappyzone

Hmmm - my grandparents got my dad's cowboy boots bronzed.

The thirsties are a really nice material, so it's such a shame that they have the absorbency of kitchen roll

But am going to take your advice and buy one before diving in... Good advice - must listen to big bad. must listen to big bad....
