General Chat Thread For Cloth Users-PART 9 how we are dressing our itti bitti baby behinds

[4andnotout]

New thread as the other was running out!

If you've got a chubbybottom I'd forget about Ittis though.

Bummer Swapster.

notcitrus - then be wary of itti's, they are petite.

I reckon they will have to start doing an extra large.

Boffinmum - boots for plastic pants. Very cheap. What size are you looking for? I am sure I had some somewhere that you could have but I have no idea where! They were large though?

In fact - I think I recongnise you from the april 09 threads? I haven't been on since Talia was about 2 weeks old though . Too busy chatting nappies!

Aw thanks Baronconker

DS2 had sudden high temp and cough today ... DONT PANIC - he seems okay - kept him off school - worried about hols as due to fly out on weds! Rang docs about anti-viral drugs and them said as no-one swabs anymore it could be anything and not to worry

Busy busy busy bee atm - nappies, packing, washing, ironing, packing, more packing, feeding herd, picking veg for teachers, packing ...

How many children do you herd, Octo?

1. If she is Octo it has to be 8. All those nappies.

All those socks!

LMAO - only 3! Octo came from when was pg with ds3 - he was like a giant octopus in my tummy - was called octopussyintummy - then he came out and I retrained as a childherder!

DH would like more but had terrible SPD with ds3 so very unlikely! 8 would mean moving house and buying a VW transporter ...

*swampster: oooh, new Bedbugs! You've got me jealous! So will this bring your total of Bedbugs up to 3 now?

I've not bought any nappies lately! Well, not in the past 10 days! boo hoo In fact, I think my idea to start sewing extra things (rather than just clothes for my kids) was to keep me from nappy shopping/browsing, as I really have plenty of nappies and don't need anything! But I just never stop wanting more nappies - and classified boards are very hard to resist!

As for larger bottomed little ones, I'd think Fuzzis would be good. They're quite good sized for all shapes, and come in XL too, if necessary.

justcallmedog: not sure if you're still about here, but just wondered if you still wanted the UDOS minki pocket nappy? I sent a CAT last week but never heard back from you.

I use fuzzis most of the time

[disappointed] Even I herd three!

Four bedbugs.

Sorry Swampster [holds head in shame]

What are groups of pigs called?

As we were talking AIOS - there is a large ME AIO on UKPL for 50p plus postage.

I can't keep off the classifieds! I am on there daily looking out for UDs as they go so fast. But while I am there I end up buying loads of other stuff!

Does anybody know where I can buy bamboo MEOS? Or how much £ we are talking?

Octo.

Girlie WN pockets, anyone?

notcitrus - I am also a fan of the Blueberry. It's a pocket, not an aio, but very luscious. Also tres cher, though...

I have been thinking smugly to myself recently about how completely ok I'll be in the event of the total breakdown of society and the unavailability of disposable nappies (due to swine flue, nuclear meltdown etc - I watched that Survivors and got a bit freaked out!). And if I keep going at the rate I have been since I joined in on this thread, I'll have enough cloth nappies to clothe the bottoms of all my friends'/relatives'/ random accquaintances' babies too!!

I love blueberrys too

I am going to start stocking bambinex btp bamboo soon - like the meos one but velcro closing. Will be here when get back from hols.

The most number of nappies I have had at one time not including stock - for one baby is 45

having 8 arms can be useful, you may think it looks a bit funny, but it helps me to hold all my children, and tickle each one on the tummy...

Phew, was just about to buy an orange tree frog slinki minki from CNT but seem to have been pipped to the post. Also was turned down today on my offer for some huggles - probably for the best!

I adore Blueberries too but they do tend to go damp around the legs rather quicker than I expect them to.

yes i have that problem too, even with a newborn in them.
nappy addiction is a serious problem you know DH is always on at me for buying more nappies lol

am still on the look out for wraps, not finding anything i like. is it me or is CNT mainly girl focused atm? all i can find is pink ittis, pink wraps, purple pockets...
grrr i want to buy nappies.

I have tots wraps - they are cool boys colours - orange, blue or green stars are smart. Also motherease ocean and savanna.

hi everyone, sorry for not being around, have been out doing summer stuff,dd now walking and talking, all fun. Everything very mundane in our nappy world, all working ticketty-boo.

I've only scanned the last couple of pages, will catch up soon. Hope everone and their LOs are all well.

Swampster, are you still interested in medium Ecobubs? I'm just about to start getting large ones for dd.

I'm curious about the idea of stockpiling cloth nappies for the breakdown of the supply chain. Personally I would actually get bio disposables and the means to compost them. In the worst case scenario we could be looking at reduced availability of power/water, in which case washing nappies wouldn't be my top priority.

Can anyone tell me how the new Lollipop compares to BG for toddlers? dd seems to have stoppped ripping the velcro open on her bg.

Oooooooooh afterglow!!! I have just taken a painful hit with some bedbugs! How much are you after?

I think £9.50 each posted, or £9 each posted for more than one, including the standard inserts. I have a mixture of blue/choc, pink/choc, navy/cream and a single ruby/cream (that has matching red poppers on the insert!) If it helps at all, I wouldn't be posting for at least a week as I need to check that the large is a better fit. To be brutally honest, I'm finding that the medium is still a good fit during the day but once we do the extra boosting at night it is starting to gape round her legs. dd is about 22.5lbs so I'll give the large a go, definitely at least for nights.

The green-me site has "everyday" ecobubs (no wool, fewer poppers) for quite a good price so I'll try one of those too.

afterglow - I am pretty sure even eco disposables take years to degrade in a compost heap. And if you were to do it at home you would have to be extremly careful as I think the germs that breed on poo are dangerous. WHich is why you are meant to tip poo down the loo, even in disposables (not that I know anybody who actually does this). But I think it is about 100years to degrade even eco ones - so you would need a very big compost heap!

But I get your point about the lack of power and water etc.

I was meant to be saving all my PP for a big UD order, but as they said to wait and see as they are going to add new porducts - I waited, but now all the money has gone . I did get lots of UDNNs though, more than if I wa ordering new. And more BBH, Wn wraps and a few other bits.

hmmm good point. I put all easily removable poo down the loo, even when dd was in disposables, the idea of having it sat in the bin for a fortnight at a time was too gross. Perhaps I would just try to potty train her.

That sounds like good shopping. Hopefully more pp will turn up over time.
