But if your covering them up?

Like I like the nappy I posted but I'd need a wrap?

I must admit I don't really get the covering up the nice nappy with a wrap thing. We've got all our reusables ready to go and tried one on Charlotte today (a momentous moment) but it was still a bit on the big side. She looked sooooo cute tho!

The thing with disposables is that I'm horrified how many we use (ok we're using double) and the number of nappy sacks I'm chucking out each day and they way my bin is filling up with them

you can buy plain nappies and buy nice wraps to go over them

See I like the fact she has cute nappies on. I like her to have cool socks and vests but they are always covered up too. Like I said it's like me wearing nice pants, no-one can see them but I like the fact I have nice pants on. No-one can see Seren's nappy usually but I like the fact she has a really cute nappy on. That's just me. I like changing her into cute nappies, and now she is at the age where I ask her to choose what nappy she wants to wear. I don't expect everyone to get it but then I don't get why they put cutesy pics of Winnie the Poo on disposables if they are going to be covered. Also my washing line looks so pretty too when they are all hung out.

Like others have said you can get plain ones. There is so much choice out there. I started out with plain ones but just got into the cute ones.

Helen it shocked me when I used dispos with Seren for the first week, how many we threw out. Plus I just didn't like the idea of having poo in my bin for a fortnight. The main thing for me though is that I just like Seren having cotton, bamboo etc next to her skin, and not the gel. But everyone has the choice to use what suits them.

Jo, when Jack is potty trained you can see your nappies on, you'd get money back that way.

Yeah i can get the money back Beanie, not bothered about that TBH am gutted i won't have funky nappies on my line any more LOL
Haven't told Ant yet but am gonna get him some funky training pants!! Jack not Ant lol

*goes off to have a look*

i agree with beanie i love Rhys having cute nappies on ... even if nobody sees them! i also like him to have cute vests on (and sometimes matching nappies and vests lol!!!!)

i use pocket nappies so the nice pattern/colour is in the outside, i buy most of mine from weenotions where you can 'create your own'

when we are at home Rhys tends not to have trousers on as he finds it easier to move around without them on. if people come and visit they always comment on his nappies and it makes me feel so proud

i definetly find pocket nappies the best to use as you just slip in the liner, put them on and away you go!

I know, I was so about potty training but now I have seen how cool the training pants are I am all excited again lol. Though I do think Ant may be disappointed about missing out on them.

Like Imi I think it would work out cheaper in the long run for me to stick to Dispoables, especially at this age when they dont need changing half as much as a newborn. TBH I think it seems really complicated and I cant get my head round it, I would need someone to come and give me a lesson and show me all the different types, I might consider with no.2, but I just manage to keep ontop of my washing as it is!

Thats another thing ... like lauzs i just about keep on top of my washing!!

How the hell someone who works 5 days a week still gets through 5 bloody t-shirts as well as shirts and 2 pairs of jeans as well as random socks, pants and work trousers is beyond me!

Then there is maddie's, mine don't count as i haven't got many tents!

Just seems like a hell of alot of work to me, then it must add up on your electricity bill cause of all the washin you do??

xxx

Not really. Our electricity bill has actually been reduced this month too. Its just an extra load of washing, it takes a few mins to get them into the machine and switch it on. Then hanging them out/putting them in dryer then putting them away. Must take me 10 mins if that. We have loads of washing with my work clothes, OH's work clothes and Seren's millions of changes but its not like I am handwashing anyhting. I know I might be sounding patronising, apologies for that but really it is that simple. I have 2 nappy washes a week. When I have used dispos I used to have to wash more clothes as they would leak if Seren had a particularly runny poo.

It does look complicated at first but when someone shows you what to do its really simple. There are different types but you get a good cloth nappy advisor to take you through tem and you use the ones that suit you.
