So if Ido washing every 3 days and change Noah 5 times a day. Im going to need 15 nappies roughly. Im looking at the Happy Heinys nappies which are £10.50 each, so that means £150!!!! for just them, do I then need wraps to go over them?

(I only spend £5 a week of disposables eeek!)

You'll need 3/4 wraps tops. Just buy the one to try, and remember you can mix and match.

Are you averse to 2nd hand? I bought most of my nappies through buy/sell forums. The 15 I use as staples (Clwt Twts and Diddy Diapers) cost me £30 for the lot

This is the info on the Happy Heinys, so is this right with these I wont need wraps too, just the inserts and liners?

*Custom milled fleece for our diapers.
*No leg casings, which make better fitting diapers and contain messes
better leaving NO red marks.
*Should the fleece roll out. YES do NOT try to roll the fleece in. This will
cause wicking if you try this. They are made to have the fleece roll out so
the only thing that touches your child delicate skin is the soft fleece.
*Daddy approved Aplix brand Velcro tabs!
*Made with Aplix brand hook and loop closures which fit a wide range of
babies and make for very fast diaper changes on wiggly babies.
*Soft buttery fleece on the inside next to baby skin that drys so quickly as
urine is wicked away to the inside soaker.
*A layer of PUL on the inside to waterproof the diaper so no extra diaper
cover is required.
*A Great benefit to Happy Heinys ™ is that you decide what to stuff them
with and how much, according to the needs of your baby.

Yes, they're pocket ones so no wraps needed.

Remember you don't have to buy the special inserts, although they may be the slimmest. I use flat terry nappies to stuff mine, and one mum swears by microfibre (very absorbant and quick drying) cleaning cloths from Morrisons! You can stuff 'em with whatever you want, and pockets are great to take out because pre-stuffed you use them just like a disposable, no hassle!

Ebay is really great for bundle deals
I got all this for £80

With this Cotton Bottoms kit you get...

Nappy Bucket.

500g Box Nappy Fresh.

1 Roll Of 200 Flushable Liners.

6 Wraps - 3 Medium 3 Large.

6 Medium Prefolds.

11 One Size Nappies (Multifit/Totsbots/Motherease).

5 Fleece Liners.

4 Boosters.

3 Nappy Nippas.

This kit would easily sell for £150 or more anywhere else.


All in all you are getting a full nappie kit with everything you need from 12lbs right up until they become potty trained. All unused. Although there is no packaging I guarantee that all of the items are brand new and never used.

I have added to and sold some of it but what a bargain i thought

I have never used the pre folds so they are up for grabs if anyone wants to try them

Think is Istill dont understand what most of that stuff you listed even is, let alone how to use it!!!

I really like the look of the Happy Hineys ones as they look really simple and straiht forward. I cant see any ebay deals so I think I will just have to fork out for some and give it a try. At least my council send you a £30 cheque when you spend £45 or more on cloth. So I could buy a few for very little money.

Thats a really good deal your council do, wish ours did
It is really confusing until you have everything in front of you and it just sort of clicks what bits go where
I prefer fleece liners to the paper ones, get mine from Ebay, quite a few ppl on there do them

I got £30 too!

Jo, I use my prefolds as nighttime boosters in a slim bamboo nappy or as stuffers for my pocket nappies.

Going to sell a load of my Fuzzibunz to get some money for Weenotions wipes/bibs I think.

Am also doing a swop with someone, a Minki Huggle for a Bamboozle, good deal!

Cat, why don't you buy 1 pocket nappy with insert, 1 applix shaped nappy and 1 wrap just to have a go? I think the 2-part system is more reliable than pockets like the happy heineys but that's just what works best for us.
