ok so if i have bough the worlds worst system (cotton bottoms pefolds) which system is the best ????

Be nice to hear opinions and experiences of a range of systems so that we can share our (your) expertise ladies!!!!

I don't think there's one best system for everyone. All babies are differently shaped and people have different lifestyles.

However, I have yet to hear a bad review of the Easy Peasy range. And they're reasonably priced too

Ceolas is right in that it's dependent on yoru lifestyle (inc how you dry them)

but I do like the Easy Peasy two-parters

Nippas + wriggly 12mo are challenging me atm though

MrsB while you are here... Are you up to size 2 Bimbles yet? We've been flirting with other makes as DD was out-weeing the size 1s. Wondering if the size 2s are more absorbent?

Sorry for hijack rusmum!

so if you could only have 1 system what would you have and why???????????????

Ceolas what size ones go up to (bimbles)

yes, swapped to them for day at the beginning of the summer
had been using them at night for a while before as she was outweeing the size 1s and they'd got too snug to get a booster in.

What else are you considering?

I use a mix of pocket nappies (bumgenius and fuzzies mainly) and at night boosted fluffles with a wool wrap. She hardly wees at night so don't need anything more.

What am I not considering?!

Have obtained a bit of a single nappy collection...

I had lost faith in the Bimbles but stupidly never considered the larger size would be more absorbent. Don't like Bumbles at all.

Have tried in the last month:
Onelife
ME Sandys
Little Lamb microfleece and bamboo
tots bots cotton
Modern baby pop in
Bumgenius
EP Bambeasy

(mostly second hand bargains, in my defence!)

But I don't love any of them as much as I loved the Bimbles...

I had £5 end-of-line joy from BooCoo but they're still only £5.60 full price. Get one and try it...

I loved the Bimbles but never had any bigger sized ones - my very reliable collection is made up of Tots bots cotton (for night use), Diddy diapers (cheap & reliable - but take a while to dry), MEO's (for nursery/change bag use).

I didn't like Bumbles at all, not one bit...

Size 2s only available in poppers now. Alas.

Will definitely get one though

The Bumbles are weirdly stretchy round the waist imo

And I like the overlocked seams on the outsides of the Bimbles. Seems more snug round the legs.

I prefer the fit of the bimbles too - I have a few Bumbles (secondhand or bargains) and find them bulky and clumsy, so save them for night when they'll be boosted so'll look ungainly anyway.

Clumsy is EXACTLY the word I would use to describe them Mrs B. Some people seem to love them though...

Clumsy, yes! Couldn't imagine them on a newborn

well functionally they are ace, and tbh once you have a wrap over the top the look doesn't matter

but they are a bit of a blunt tool, as it were

ceolas you have tried every nappty imaginable!!! Should write reviews!! LOL decided what you going with??

Still deciding what i want as cb not going too well.

How often you change baby?? maybe i going to long didnt think so though.

rusmum, I'm not the worst on here!

Ordered a size 2 Bimble (oh, and some bargain size 2 organic tots bots from Amazon!) so I'll see how we get on...

rus mum have u considered trying terry sqaures from mothercare for £9.99 just wondering if the cotton bottoms will be better in a few weeks and for the price of terrys worth a try i could send u a couple to try if u like

thanks for adbice babyjjbaby why these more absorbant?? I am so clueless!!!!

well i think they would be i prefer them any way cos u can get a snug fit on them and they wash and dry luvly just wondered if it was worth a try for the sake of a tenner or i could see if i have got 2 0r 3 spare ones

you have been very kind ( and supportive) baby, thanks!!!!!!

It has to be worth a try eh??
THing is if you dont have a clue, then you dont know whether they look right or fit right or anything.

if you have a spare that would be fab X

yeh i willl have a look tomorrow will see if i have a shaped nappy for u to try aswell how much do u want for the cotton bottoms off other thread no ggo dat making offers

not sure what fair!! will have a think.
