opinions on nature babies please - stuffables and micro diddy diapers

[Frangipani74]

Hi was thinking of trying nature babies wondered if anyone has tried or is using them and what they think - ie how reliable, drying time etc. Any info appreciated as I haven't managed to find many reviews on them. Cheers. smile

Stuffables not incredibly reliable IME. Some people get on with them but many find they are a bit leaky - worth trying one though to see how you get on. Pockets are great if you can find one that suits your DCs shape. I would never buy pockets in bulk unless I was 100% sure they would work well (same for any nappy really)

Diddy diapers are quite good . Use a motherease wrap over the top for a very reliable nappy. You will probably need to boost them once they get to the top end of the weight limit - microfibre dishcloths are fab for this, cheap (3 for under £1 in supermarkets), absorbant, thin, quick drying.

Thanks BBM, any other thoughts from nature babies nappy users?

I use the Lovables and I really like them because they are:
Nippa fastening meaning I can get a good fit
Fleece lined
Micro-fibre so very fast drying
Always 100% soft and supple
Nicely shaped
Not bulky

haven't used the nappies but their wraps are some of my favourites as (oh the shame) they come in prettier colours than the (actually more reliable) Motherease ones.

Oh, I've just thought, my review is on the Microfibre Lovables, they come with fleece in (obviously) but I believe they do Bamboo Lovables too which don't have fleece, I've never tried those ones so don't take it that I have.

oooh - lollipop what are these microfibre lovables you speak of? could you post a link? ( shouldn't really be asking as my stash could start to spiral out of contro l) dp would be

Email me lorwiggins at yahoo dot co dot uk and i'll tell you all about it!

Oh actually, email Sunflower because she has one of mine and she could send with the Bumhugger if not already got to the P.O.

Thanks lollipop, I like the sound of the mircofibre loveable, have looked on naturebabies website - will have to try them out.
Also thought the Micro Dizzy pocket might be a good option as it's also stuffable and it's BTP

I know what you mean MrsBadger the classic orange flowers wrap is pulling at the purse strings, I can just see how cute my little girls would look in those (if they do turn out to be girls - still awaiting arrival)
