    Question MiniLala review?

    Hi guys,

    I'm looking at filling a gap in my nappy supply (specifically, the DH-friendly option of OSFM AIOs) & have stumbled onto MiniLalas. They certainly look nice, but that won't keep the 1s & 2s where they're meant to be.

    Has anyone any experience with them? Good or bad. Customer service is also important in this choice.

    I liked the look of CT's but they appear to have a leaking issue. So I may just settle back on BBH. We'll see!

    Hi Entreat

    Sorry, I don't have any info on Minilalas but oh yes, how lovely are they! *swoooooooon*

    I bought a few CT on sale and they have now arrived.....I read about them leaking but decided I'd give them a go. TBH they look really large even thought I bought the smallest size.

    After washing the few different brands that I have, I really think that I am going to be the happiest with my BBH, but will have to wait and see when the little girl arrives.

    I had one mini lala and yes, they certainly are pretty. The cotton outers though are prone to leaking if you have a heavy wetter. Unfortunatley all my children are heavy wetters, so they don't even last an hour in this house - so I sold it.

    If you have a light wetter, they should be ok.

    I have a minilala - and I haven't had any probs with it yet - although I haven't had it very long (couple of months?)
    I just wouldn't leave it on for more than 2 hrs
    Oh, and I didn't get mine from minilala direct - so can't really help with customer service.

    As for CT - when I first went cloth (when DD was 8mths old) they were the only nappies that worked really well for us - but as she has gotten bigger they aren't really working well anymore.

    Pop-ins are my fail-safe nappy!

    Cheers guys!
    I'm happy to use my array of fitted nappies, but for poor DH, I think it may be easier if I just keep him on the AIOs. I have 9 small sized ones (BBH & a couple of other brands I picked up) that look roughly small enough for NBs, but as I don't have any mediums or larges, I didn't want DH to escape his fatherly duties when the kid is too big for the current stocks!

    For a guy that can solve any puzzle/problem by looking at it, he's certainly demonstrating some early 'thickness' about the fitted system (put on baby, then put on cover...). But I loves him anyway.

    hehe good on you for teaching your DH! I think it is so cute when they become proficient with using mcn!
    Sounds like you have a nice lot of nappies while bubby is small. I wouldn't worry too much about buying med's and lge's now as you don't know what size and shape bub will be. Plus they change shape too, like some nappies that fit at one stage may not fit a few months later (not just because they have put on weight but when their little legs and thighs change shape).

    Might be worth looking into AI2's as well mate, my DH likes them too - and they are just as easy as AIO's - if you put them together for him first

    Plus they are usually more absorbent I have found. And you can get super pretty ones
