Which tots bots to buy, no tumble drier

[mandybagpuss]

Hello, I am pregnant and have decided to use Tots Bots with my next baby. I gave up using cloth nappies last time around as I bought a huge load of yummies nappies second hand on ebay, I have no tumble drier and as time went on they became so rigid and crunchy it hard to fold them (yummies are the pre fold type)
I live in a very hard water area and a flat so I was drying on an airer.
I am bidding on all some of the discontinued Fluffles on e bay.
Does anyone have experience of drying tots bots of any kind?
Thanks so much.

Yes, I used Fluffles when I had no tumble drier and they did stay soft, especially if you add a tablespoon of white vinegar to the final rinse.

Bamboozles aren't too bad but cotton ones are hopeless without a tumble drier.

Little Lambs, I have been told, are very like Fluffles, as are Lollipop Big Softees.

If you look on FSOT Anything Else on here secondhand nappies come up quite frequently at reasonable prices. Ebay prices are a bit silly, I've found.

Fluffles dry very quick but as you say are discontinued. Lollipop do a similar nappy though called the Softee so if you can't find fluffles you could try these (tbh I prefer the softees to fluffles anyway as I think the fabric is much nicer).

TB bamboozles and cotton take quite a while to dry. You could mix and match though, and the bamboo does stay softer than cotton.

Flexitots are bamboo too so take a while to dry. The easyfit comes in either bamboo or microfibre(fluffle) so the microfibre one would be the one to go for if you want quick-drying.

Basically, microfibre nappies dry quickest and they stay soft too.

HTH

Sorry Moomin - got distracted and cross-posted.

We don't have a tumble dryer (just line drying and clothes airers) and we use cotton tots bots with no problems. Take about 3-4hours to dry on line in good weather or 24 indoors without heating on (quicker when heating on)
We have a few bamboozles which we use as night nappies - but these take sooooo much longer to dry. But been as only using 1 at night and we have a total of 4 of them it works out OK.

Little lamb do a microfibre version of tots bots (similar to their old fluffle which is really quick drying) - but I just seem to prefer the natural fibres on DS's bottom.
