Where do you buy your nappies?

I'm happy to consider both new and second-hand, but don't really know where to start. I've found several sites that sell nappies, but not much in the way of special offers... am I likely to find any bargains or do you generally have to go with full price? Second-hand, only just realised they don't do this on e-bay, any tips where to buy instead?

You can buy second hand on the used nappy company or the cloth nappy tree.
I would suggest you to try before buying the all kit in one brand. Secondhand is good for that as you can buy cheaper a nappy that is already at its best for absorbency and you can sell it about the same price you paid if it doesn t suit your LO.

I've got some terry squares and wraps (including a couple of pink stuffable BumGenius) you can have if you like!!

I bought all my stuff from either ebay, Little Green Earthlets or The Nappy Lady.

Sadly ebay have since decided they won't allow the sale of second hand/used nappies so you can only buy new stuff there, but this can still be cheaper than buying it from other places.

Ive bought mine from Ebay, babybots, natural baby resource and i bought some cheap wraps in the sale at lollipop. Ebay say they dont allow selling of used nappies but you can still find them now and again ;)

Thanks... I'll have a look at those sites. I bought a few bits and bobs at an NCT sale when I was still pregnant, but I realise that it doesn't really come together anywhere near a workable system. Looking forward to experimenting.

GreenMonkies, kind offer... would certainly be interested in the wraps and bumgeniuses (geniusi?). Could you email me with what you have and what you'ld like for them?

cloth nappy tree is great, i also buy from fillyourpants as they often have voucher codes on their website for £5 off. Also your local council may have an incentive scheme for cloth nappies and may give you some money towards buying some. I got £25 from cheshire west council.
