Few questions on cloth


ok, so i am looking to start buying some between now and when baby is about 8 weeks then i will start to use them, unless they fit well before that.

I want ONE SIZE, birth to potty, financially i cant get lots of sizes.
I like the softer ones without the seperate wraps which go on top,
I would prefer velcro fastening at the front so it can adjust and i wont be in-between poppers but i know theres poppers on the sides of most one size..

So, What ones do you suggest?

My fav so far are blueberry's, Found the 'babykind' website, is that a good website to buy from?? they seem to have lots of options both style and colour.

Is there any other kinds similar to the blueberry??
how long do they take on average to dry..... / how many would i ideally need?
I have an Aga type oven and a fire so can dry them infront of that, we dont own a tumble dryer and i wont be getting one when i move out.

Can you use the blueberrys again if it was only wet and you replace the liner?? Should i buy extra liners to accomodate for this?

Aside from the nappys is the only other thing i need tea tree oil and a bucket to keep them in till i do a washing?

Sorry for all the questions, i just do not want to use disposables all the time!!

pop ins have velcro fit and popper adjustable rise, they have snap in night time booster aswell, theres plenty more but i cant think of any names right now, except what youve already said

i dont really know of any others, if you were happy using a nippa instead of velcro i could make u some?

you just stick it onto the front of the nappy and it holds it all together, theyre sooo easy to use, a lot of people use them if they dont feel comfortable using nappy pins

A nippa is a plastic stretch plastic thing which hooks onto fabric instead of poppers/velco although if you want pockets or aio's they dont use nippas.

For what you want i would go with minkee or cuddlesoft weenotions is onesize

I put mine on the aga and they dry overnight
There are different types of blueberry i'm going to buy the other type so you can check mine out when i get them I'm also getting a load of different types on one size soon so we can find the best...
The bumgenius ones are great too!! They are bringing out the 'flip' type which i'm wanting to try but they arent out in UK
