Fleece wraps. Yay or nay?

[Ceolas]

Some people seem to think they are fab, especially for overnight. Others are disappointed by them leaking.

Yay or nay?

And if yay, is there a particular knack to them? Why do you use them over PUL?

Well you already know what my vote is

The reasoning behind them is that they are breatheable (unlike PUL) so they are supposed to keep your DCs bottom cooler and drier than a PUL wrap would hence the suggestion that they are good for overnight. The reality for us was that the nappy underneath was still sodden and my DD had a nice damp sleepsuit and bedsheets as a result - they didn't leak though.

The tots redwrap and the stacinator are the best fleece wraps IMO.

The there is wool of course......

I've been using a fleece wrap for the past few nights and quite like it. Not had any leaks but dd is only 16 weeks and not massively heavy wetter. I like that it is nice and soft and cosy!

loved them for night.much comfier and much more reliable imo.

but also preffered wool for night as easier!

Why is wool easier?

BBM is there a difference between the Tots Bots red wrap and the rainbow one?

Much prefer wool.

the red wrap seems to be a thicker fleece or summat.

Wool has the added advantage that it absorbs and is waterproofish with lanolin so the moisture has time to evaporate slowly, whereas it just sort of shoots straight through fleece, so a heavy wetter will have a damp pair of pjs.

Plus you can get wool longies, cut out the pj bottom middle man and just shove a top on it.

Yes the redwrap is thicker and more waterproof..... and the rainbow one is cuter (IMO) . The polka one is the same thickness as the rainbow btw.

I do have a Baby Beehinds wool wrap but it's a little erm, tacky from my lanolising attempt

Can I still use it?

Hello flame - what has happened with your site?

x posts as always btw - sorry

I feel compelled to try it, but I have a susopicion we're going to end up soaking in the morning. All of us - she's in our bed!

do the longhies have to be well fitted to work or can they be loose?

i prefered wool as it needs airing daily but not washing daily(we used 2 so that ds wore one while one aired etc).held more wee,looked adorable-we used disana .

go on be brave!!!

Loose is great - most of DS's are loose.

What do you mean what's happened with my site? Nothing afaik - the ad has run out and due to suppliers messing me about, funds are short to renew it Feeling like the world's worst nappy site owner and that people would be better off buying from other people whilst I fold

tacky is good - all the more waterproof! It detackies after a few uses

Flame - probably a problem at my end then . Panic not.

Don't worry flame, the site works fine for me

Will use the wool tomorrow then.

Ceolas can you try linking to it from here for me please. Got a nappy consultation tomorrow and I always like to try and give links to flame and nappyzone's sites.

Bumfluff

Works fine - thanks Ceolas . I must have an old link or something.

I love wool but afetr i washe em i never get round to re lanolising them and cant remember how too . Its someat to do with dolmio jar??

Anyways yes the thicker the fleece wrap the better and i have just got some lovely thick stacinator ones in

Well I was going to use the wool today, bit it's too small! Think I'll get another.
