General Chat for Cloth Nappy Users -- part 11

[NappyPolice]

As you were

Tree yay to trialling new nappies,very exciting no between mumsnetters.We need to share results here!

I am a SAHM & divorced DH whilst pregnant so no-one to witness my overstocked nappy stash! Although my 5 year old has started to say 'not more nappies mum!...

Poor Hats temp up again. Very miserable.

Off to sort some paper liners - where do you all get yours?

I have found the totsbots spun liners to be the softest. Noticed they sell them in mothercare now.Think it was £4.99 for 2 rolls.

I am in awe of you, mumface! LOL at your five-year-old.

Hope Hats has a good night, tree, and feels better tomorrow.

mumface lol at your 5 yo!

tree I hope Hattie is feeling a bit better now. DH has washed nappies with fabric conditioner before. It didn't do any lasting harm, just a PITA to strip.

mistermoo please don't feel bad. I think that was a lovely thing to do and it just makes me want to order off you. I certainly don't agree with ilmd about this one, but each to their own.

Mistermoo - I agree with 2CB. I think it was lovely. Well done.

Anyone looked on the Nappies for sale board recently

mistermoo that was a lovely thought for tree, dont feel stupid at all.
ilovemydog, i think that was uncalled for, it was a kind gesture, not everything has to be done by the book.

i have 2 packs of disposables i am struggling to get thru.. why do ppl keep buying them for me? everyone KNOWS i dont use them.. whats the matter with ppl.
i dont mean to sound ungrateful, but for the price of a pack of nappies, they could have bought me something useful.

its like buying formula for a BFing mum!

mistermoo - when are the blueberry wraps avaliable? i am dying for the poppered ones, just says coming soon. i am impatient! i want one now!

ooh poppered blueberry's - I want one too!

hello again - thanks for all the advice on AIOs with velcro. After lots of searching CMT and all the other nappy sites - seems everyone hangs onto their large nappies; took ages to find any large ones - I am now the very happy owner of 4 rainbow Lollipops. They fit over his chubby bottom well and dry really quickly. And are just adorable!

His nursery were very impressed - the head of the baby room is very interested in all his lovely nappies and I think will become a cloth evangelist soon!

Off to hunt down a few more velcro bargains - my trusty Bumbles are coming to the end of their life. They're on baby #4 and in places going bare where the fluff has rubbed off from the nippa - which explains why some aren't very absorbent.

[googles more nappy brands]

Notcitrus-do they have to be aio's or will you consider 2 parters? I have some flexitots for sale on the forsale board

I have flexitots.Lovely and soft v.absorbent.I love them on dS2.

thenatty do you mean the poppered minky blueberries, or the poppered blueberry cover-alls? I think I can guess, but just checking...

right guys, ideas for night nappies?
UD and WN are closed atm, to be honest i dont want to wait till they open and then another 2-3 weeks.

so most absorbant nappies? charlie now doing an 8 hour stretch (he wont let me change him at night without screaming down the house, even tho he is waking for feeds grr)

i want the poppered wraps, not the pocket nappies.
exciting! never seen them before, they have always been velcro

The time has come to part with one of my adored BBOS. It's in v good condition as I have this wierd thing that I hardly ever use my favourite nappies as I'm always 'saving them for best'. I am selling it because I have far too many the same and now have a cushie tushies on the way

So may I divert your attention to the For sale boards?

TheNatty-I can't recommend BBH's enough i absolutely adore them, i think i have about a 12 now though and only use them at nights

Will go and gander at the for sale boards now..

4 hemp or bamboo? or do you use the AIO?

I have hemp and bamboo's, the bamboo is softer but the hemp is just as absorbant (just looks a bit tattier) but if you use a fleece liner it doesn't really matter. I think the hemp come up a bit bigger too.

I don't fancy the AIO's for some reason

so which is more absorbant? i would use fleece liners in them def as its all night.
dont spose you fancy parting with some of yours?

I would say the bamboo's are a touch more absorbant than the hemp but there really isn't much in it. I will have a count up when the machine stops and let you know what i have

natty - you can get blueberry minky poppered wraps, or blueberry poppered 'cover-alls' ... both are wraps.. the 'cover-all' is quite new though (and not minky, and not as many patterns...)
off now to take 3xDC to zoo.. lucky me
