    I love my Minilala's I am doing Elimination Communication, but for when I go out and when I know I won't be able to attend to DD's EC needs, she needs to stay in them for wees (otherwise, they go on her and get whipped off for going to the loo - on most days I can put her to bed having only used one nappy that I can still use the next day cos it's dry!). When I'm out and have missed her wees the Minilala holds heaps and heaps till I can get to change her.
    I got mine from a shop nearby, but the stockist is really happy with the customer service she gets from the supplier
    Loooooooooooooooove my Minilalas!!

    Yep like the others have said, I don't think it's a very long lasting nappy... I don't trust them when out and about so only put them on DD at home which is a shame as they are so pretty!
    2hrs before it starts soaking through is about what we last here too. DD is an average wetter (I guess!)

    I think the Mini LaLa's are just gorgeous, but looking the feedback and DD being a heavy wetter looks like they won't be an option for us

    I really like mine. I only have the one though and I don't use their insert. I use my own Bamboo inserts. Lasts much longer. Fit is great though.

    I was going to say the same as mel. AI2s are great too.

    FWIW we're been doing cloth for over 3 years now and DH still can't manage fitteds and covers

    i just sold the 6 i had, they were good when DD2 was little and had chunky thighs but then she thinned right out and they just didnt fit right.
    and also im too lazy and dnt really like pockets! pmsl.
    the outter wasnt as soft as id assumed it would be

    I can only assume it's cos I don't keep DD in them till the nappy's saturated that I haven't had these issues of leakage. I've only had a handful of poo misses and none of those leaked in her 6 plus months. I don't like the idea of leaving babies collecting wee till the nappy's full to capacity, so my experience with these nappies may well be affected by this

    Thanks guys!!
    I think I grab their 6-pack special. That'll leave me room for more options later (and I'll have 6 GORGEOUS nappies! )

    And as long as I set everything up with inserts, etc, then AI2s are very much also on the cards. What's your fav AI2's?
