Does anyone use the new Modern Baby Pop-ins full-time?

[Ceolas]

I have one which I've used a few times. Seems pretty good.

I need bigger nappies for DD and I'm torn between these and bumgenius. BG seem more convenient, but I like the fact that the MB ones are bamboo instead of synthetic fibres.

I'm wondering also how long each will last. I reckon the BG will last til potty training but the MB don't seem to have as much room.

Also the MB seem more of a faff to assemble especially as I'm using a fleece liner. I suppose we'd get used to it in the long term.

Any pop-in users out there? What do you think of them?

How old is she? Sorry, this is the slowest moving thread in the world!
My DS is 3 months, and we've been using just the soaker in the day, with the slim booster at night. He has woken up with a wet back a few times but we seem to have cracked it. But perhaps it's time to try the night booster... {dramatic music}

She's 12 months. What about trying the prefoldy bit with the soaker in the middle as an in between measure?

Totally failed to work out how to put the prefold bit together tonight! Alas, the website doesn't have a picture or anything!

Agree the website is useless. Bit of a discussion on another forum might help?

OK, how to fit the night booster as per instructions over the phone.

Option 1 - as a night booster.
This is folded over the normal soaker. (Or with the booster?)
Hold it out flat with the label on the left. Fold the label side in to the right, hopefully giving you two poppers top & bottom left;
Fold the right side in to the left and popper in.
This gives you 3 layers of soaking (sorry, 4 with the soaker) and the label isn't sticking out to scratch your DC. (Design fault??)

It leaves 1 popper top middle, which isn't used!!

Option 2 - use as a prefold. I was a smidge mystified by this, but apparently you just fold it and popper it in using the spare popper. You can then change the soaker for this prefold. Which surely defeats the whole point of it being an all-in-one pop-in...?

Ah, so it just poppers to itself and not onto any of the other bits?

Apparently not, unless you're using it as a prefold.
I looked at the other thread and the person who 'explained' it (hope it wasn't you...) totally confused me with all the talk of poppering poppers onto poppery poppers pop pop pop.

I've been on the phone with the company a few times - they seem quite keen on comments etc and are always (allegedly) adapting and improving.

They really should do something about the leaflet though.

No it wasn't me! The problem I had with doing it that way was that most of the padding was at the back of the nappy and not in the middle/front where required.

What's the spare popper for then?

Ok, 2 events: got different instructions from the lady at Babipur (lovely site btw), and I've looked at the leaflet again and it seems I was misinformed by Modern Baby on the telephone...

It looks like you wrap the night booster around the sanitary towel-like booster, and popper it in to the middle popper on the outer.
As a prefold, just popper it in to the middle popper again. Tried that today - so you can use the same outer several times. Works beautifully, but again why the whole popper system when you could just have a 2 parter...

The beauty is you can improvise, there's so many bits! Endless possibilities

feeling a bit confused, will have to try these versions tomorrow once it's washed... not that I need to use the booster just yet, but better practice...

Yeah, it is really confusing. All they need to do is show nice clear line drawings of how to put things together!

FWIW, sunflower, my DS is little, and we currently use the nappy with just the basic soaker in it, with the slim booster added overnight, and he's dry.

I tried the big booster as a prefold yesterday but didn't like it - only 1 popper, bulky, and a faff. But he was very dry.

It's good to know they work well on smaller babies too. Not sure if we'll be having any more but you never know...

I guess you'd need to see it in action but it's difficult to visualise how the inside of the nappy adapts when you popper down the outside. We have it un-poppered on DD (12 months).

Hm, I see a photo opportunity... I'll let you know when it's on my profile!

Photo on my profile - my DS looking suspicious! This is the pop-in on its smallest setting, with the top folded over. DS is a mini human being, 6.1 at birth (overdue!!!) and now just over 12lb.

To celebrate the photo, he totally filled the lovely clean pistachio pop-in shortly after...

So you fold over the top and velcro onto the inside in effect?

Yes. For a teeny weeny baby, the velcro tabs fit one on top of the other! Really cute!

Next step is making a video of how to put the nappy together!

Modern Baby should PAY me for this promotional work!

essie, can I ask you a really stupid question? I received my pop-in from lackadaisycal today, its a lovely pumpkin colour, looks fantastic but I can't work it out - do I need a wrap??? [thick emoticon]

threetinytots, you don't need a wrap. There's a waterproof layer "sandwiched" in the shell of the nappy.

Just spoke to the babipur lady, essie and she was telling me about her chunky 2 year old still wearing them. Wondering how I could co-ordinate selling off the massive single-nappy collection I have amassed to fund a pop-in multipack...

Ooh, sorry, turned my back for a second and the special pop-in thread moved on! (!)

No, no wrap - it's all in. The 'wrap' is the soft bit which receives the towelling bit, so everything is there.

Ceolas the babipur lady is lovely - I bought a 5 pack off e-bay from her because they were (a) a 5 pack which you can't get elsewhere and (b)a smidge cheaper at £60.
Which multipack are you thinking of buying? I bought the 20 . In my defence, I thought I was getting a massive discount from the company for reviewing and praising their nappies, but I didn't get it - only 10% which I had anyway from Mumsnet! And now they need to give me loads of free stuff because I'm like the pop-in evangelist around here!

To make matters worse, I bought the pop-ins on the basis I would sell the others...which haven't sold... Credit crunch, what credit crunch?

Ach, I don't know what to do. I have 20 or so size 2 nappies of different types and brands. Technically we have enough and they are adequate.

But I like pop-ins. I have 3 just now. They are so easy and comfy and so far perfectly performing and I'd love to use them full time. I reckon if I got a 10 pack I'd be OK to wash (and tumble dry ) every other day.

But can I justify it just beacuse I like them? We have £60 in vouchers from Mothercare but I don't want a whole pack of a single colour! [shallow emoticon]

Pack of 10 from the company, or from babipur, with 10% off...? They would be multi coloured! I became totally OCD about them and needed wanted equal numbers of each colour...

Still pondering, but have ordered the 5-pack from ebay as an interim measure!

Oh and if you have 28 and there are 5 colours, how does that work?!

Hahaha, like this (OCD coming up!)

Bought 20, 4 of each colour. Had 1 pistachio for free.
Then bought 2 custard from Daisy.
Bought 5 from e-bay, 1 pistachio, 2 pumpkin, 2 duck egg.

So 6 of each colour but only 4 white. On the basis that the white ones won't age as well, they show poo stains more, and, well, Christmas is coming...!!
