Thanks for the welcome girls, i hope i did buy the right kind of nappy now, i just wanted something that i didnt have to think about, lol, hubby friendly! and i wanted something cute as well.
Kazbah thanks for the thread, ill give it a read now.

Now im like a kid at xmas, i want my parcel to arrive.

also how come it gets more absorbant the more u wash it?

Anila the CT coutures can be used overnight with a trifold booster and soaker, It is what we usually use. A soaker is a wool cover.

Thanks alioops, i have already chosen my next ct, if i like this one! (choc bubbles so cute)
ok so yet another question from this little learner, do u need to put them in a wash bag? or just throw in the wash?
(I had to go for my driving lesson so didnt get to read all of the other link, which i will do now, lol.)

[alioops]

I just unsnap the boosters and throw them in as is (poo removed though) I havent had any issues with them getting snagged, because they aren't velcro. If you want to use a washbag to keep it all together you can, but i dont bother.

I don't know the exact science behind it but it's true, the more hemp or bamboo is washed the better it absorbs. Dunno why but it does!!

I'm sure the CT will be great Thing is with MCN is that a lot of the time it's a hit and miss....you just have to take the plunge and try, and like Ali said, then you get to know what's a good fit and what's not. The girls on here are very knowledgeable and there's another great forum out there called Nappycino which is dedicated to cloth and also a fantastic resource. It's a whole new world out there

May I ask how long the CT's take to dry outside in winter? We are without a drier...so it's outdoors or nothing.

Depends where you are Amanda. Indoors on an airer will take 2 days, outdoors in the rain will take ages. In QLD though they will dry fast in dry season.
