Thanks Hun, I keep wondering which ones need something to put over them and which one are okay just as they are, cloth nappies have come a long way since the original terry nappies, just as hard to pick out of them as it is to pick shampoo lol!
There's a woman on eBay doing a pack of 10 nappies with 20 inserts brand new for 44.99 or something like that, does that sound like good value? She has 100% feedback score!

what kind of nappies are they? do you have the link?

dippy dee · Sep 21st, 2009, 16:55 PM

sounds like you are on about the naughty babies, are they all bright colours? if so they are good and keep plenty of widdle in and no leaks really, i have 5 ebay cheapies and use these before the rest i have.
The ones you are on about if i am right you don't need anything over the top xx

Bekkiboo · Sep 21st, 2009, 17:16 PM

Just checked and they are them ones, and apologies but it was 12 for 49.99 plus 24 inserts and 8.99 p&p so even though it's 12 nappies it would be more like 24 because of the extra inserts, is this right? They are a bit boyish looking!
Sorry Hun I don't have the link, I'm using the eBay app and Internet on my mobile!

Bekkiboo · Sep 21st, 2009, 17:25 PM

Oh I just saw the ones you were talking about! Super bright!

Bekkiboo · Sep 21st, 2009, 20:29 PM

Gawd look at the time! I have been browsing loads of sites and would quite like to try the bright bots terry towelling nappies, I can always buy other more easy to use ones nearer when I go back to work. Do I need covers to go over these or can they be used as they are? Also do they require liners for inside and what's better, the pins or them swanky clips?

So many questions lol!

I'm assuming there'll be videos on YouTube showing me how to puy them on my LO?

Bekkiboo · Sep 21st, 2009, 20:32 PM

Oh and if they do need covers, can you get see through ones??

Hey hun, are you actually in the Birmingham council area? If so, they have a cloth nappy library so you can borrow some and see if you like them before you buy! This is a fab idea and I wish stinky Stockport council would do the same! http://www.birmingham.gov.uk/cs/Sate...endermode=live here is the link.

If you would prefer your own new nappies to try, this is available on the fill your pants site http://www.fill-your-pants.com/produ...ppy-trial-pack - you could put your voucher towards this and it would give you an idea about the types of nappy there are available...any you don't like can be sold on easily. There is always a big demand for second hand nappies and you could make a lot of your money back to spend on whicever brand you prefer!

Like dizzy said, the smart nappy system from mothercare is fab, and also most of my stash is made up of those ebay nappies you found! Hope that helps! xxx

You would need to use wraps with terries, and as for liners you can get biodegradable paper ones or you can use fleece ones which keep babys bum nice and dry. You can use both of those together. It's up to you though, you don't need to use a liner, it just makes it a bit easier for getting rid of poo etc.

I have never seen any see through wraps! I don't know which ones are best as I don't really use terries. There are quite a few people on here that do though, they would be able to help you more with that sort of thing.

Have a look on the cloth swap or sell thread at the top of the page, migt be some wraps or something in there that you like.
