Reusable nappies - Page 2

**Tiff** · Jun 22nd, 2009, 09:21 AM

They are adjustable, my friend started using them once the umbilical cord fell off and was fully healed. He was a 9lb'er to start with though so it was all good once she started using them.

I definitely like the one size, OH and I figured it out and after 6 months of use the diapers have paid for themselves. I like that I only have to worry about running out for wipes, but even then you can use baby washcloths.

Like Sam mentioned, they do come with a newborn liner that you can use as an overnight booster once your baby starts using the larger liner.

I've not tried bumgenius - will have to get one! I'm liking Totsbots (shaped nappies) at the moment, we've got some Bamboozles to use very soon. I've got an Ella's House hemp one and it's gorgeously soft. We tried Bambino Mio prefolds and they weren't for us. I like using good old fashioned Terry's squares with a nappy nippa and a fleece liner (just a bit of a cut up blanket!) and my favourite wraps so far are Motherease Airflow with poppers on

They have BumGenius on sale in Argos at the moment. You might find it useful to go on the Nappy Lady website ( http://www.thenappylady.co.uk/ ) you can fill in a questionnaire thing and based on your answers different nappies are recommended for you. I haven't got a tumble drier so don't think BumGenius would be all that good for me as they probably take longer to dry than other nappies. Might give one a go if I see one second hand but they're a bit expensive for me new at the moment.

I use cloth and we have 26 in regular rotation. We wash every 3 to 4 days.

i'm looking into the onelife reusable.
i had a demo of the onelife, pop ins (similar to bumgenius) tot's bots and bambino Mio, and the onelifes ones seemed the nicest to fold and adjust and they're onesize (but you need different sized wraps as baby grows) whereas the bambino mio are several size inners and outers. the popins were really bulky and looked like they would take ages to dry. i did like the tots bots and they are bulky but would be ideal as a night time nappy.

you can get reuasble nappy advisors to come see you with their range of nappies look at http://www.teamlollipop.co.uk/.

i have bambino mios which i have found better since i started folding them the opposite way to what it tells you to and also a set of mothercare smart nappys. I have 3 outers and 12 middles of the bambino mios and 4 outers and 8 middles of the smart nappy,and i have got into the habit of slinging all his washing in (nappies and clothes) at night and drying them in the morning!(we are on electric meters and havent noticed a rise in our electricity use)

i love the smart nappy the best tho!!
