General Chat Thread For Cloth Users-PART 10 - the one where even the postman has noticed our obsession...

[TheNatty]

old thread ran out!
my postman said "more nappies?" this morning when he handed me a parcel

I'm a bad influence

I always wait till the kids r in bed to open my new fluffy parcels. That way i look forward to it all day
I need something to get me through the day...

repeat...My name is Mumface and i am a nappyoholic.

lmao mumface

u know your an addict when you are UPSET that your son/daughter had potty trained

Oh no tree, I'm very tempted! I bought a pair of second hand shorties that are on that site and paid as much as it would be for a new pair!

oh no scotia!

i want some

my new disanas are still not dry.. i hate that you cant tumble dry them! any tips for drying them quicker?

I think I'm going to go out and buy some wool tomorrow to knit a pair of shorties

ooooooh i hope you do it.
im going to beg my nana when i see her next week, she used to knit those huge clowns and dolls so a pair of trousers should be a piece of cake!

Morning all.

Good luck with the knitting Scotia that sounds great. I have heard mention that organic merino wool is reasonable on ebay.

Natty - I hope your nana does knit some for Charlie!

I have just been so bad and spent £67 on nappies - 3 toddler bedbugs from HL! Not that i'm making excuses but I have just got a promotion in work (I found out yesterday) and will need to work full time ... so can kind of justify it as a celebratory purchase not that we need more nappies

Congratulations 2CB.

I was at one point tempted by bedbugs but when I asked on CNA at the absorbancy compared to UDNN they weren't as absorbant. My UDNNs struggle so I don't think they would last the night here. Shame as they are so pretty.

Natty - my BILs mum was going to make me some once but the wool was so expensive that I decided that buying preloved woolies would be safer. I think it was about £16 for the wool for one set of longies.

And yes, they take FOREVER to dry.

RUSMUM - I have some pink longies for sale if you are interested. They are "peachy cheeks"? I think. Pink with stripes of a peach colour. Will try and get a picture on if you are interested

Thay aren't as absorbant as UDNNs or even WNNNs, but luckily mine aren't that heavy wetting!

Yer thats basically what everbody on CNA said. You are lucky though - I wish we could use them as they sound lovely. But there isn't much point in us buying them if they are not going to last the night. Elouise leake again this morning - UDNN and Wool longies

At least there is room in UDNNs to add EP inserts extra in the pocket without it causing leg gape. You can't do this with the WNNNs, but it isn't really a problem with either of mine as we don't need extra absorbency.

I add an EP to my WNNN - but only the older style ones. The new ones don't seem to have the space. I want to eventually sell my WNNN I think - but need some more UDNN first. Had advertised to swap but no luck yet!

JennyPenny - I prefer a PUL wrap at night for my ds3 over a bamboozle or am going to start using my hand painted UD soy !! Yes atlast have decided it is okay to wash

Octo - I do find PUL reliable but I just worry that it is uncomfortable to sleep in all night? And it can get quite hot in the summer I think.

You still haven't used the UD? It sounds gorgeous! If you ever decide to sell!

Does anybody have any medium or large nature babies wraps they are looking to sell? In good contition ideally? I have just put a (jeans pattern) one on Elouise and the fit is really good.

Guess what we have been using today? PREFOLDS! I can't believe it but I am actually quite impressed. I got them when pregnant with Elouise and I used them breifly when she was tiny. But since then they have only been used as changing mats etc. BUT thought I would give them a try, for nappies to just use when we are at home and I am impressed. Will give it a bit longer yet but they are more slim fitting than the other nappies and I used a minki liner which happened to be exactly the right shape and size! Have used a ME rikki for Talia and the NB for Elouise. Both are gusseted so should work fine.

i habe 2 pink ones!

I am thinking of selling 2 large WN wraps. One is orange swirls (the binding on this one is faded) and the other lightning mcqueen. Let me know if anyone wants them or one!

I just bought a large Nature Baby multfit wrap and it's great! Goes a treat over the Sandys that won't fit under anything else except wool or Motherease wraps. Hope you find something!
