    I'll have to go have another look.... I must be mixing them up with another brand... Maybe they dont come with any extra inserts???

    I seriously have a headache from the damn computer today, I'm sick of MCN!!!



    Yep, they come with no inserts... another $10 for one...But if I make my own, (or mil does!) it is the cheapest nappy!!! They'd be good for Little Girl with the velcro...

    I justt wanted to mention - the one nappy DS has taken off - was one with snaps. Hasn't pulled off the velcro ones - as yet.

    We usually put a pair of pants on him anyway

    Righty O, I'm gonna grab a Bum Genius, a Haute and a Green Kids, and use them on my boys. * I think*

    I'll get MIL to make some more inserts for me, and I'll see what I like for the boys. Little Girl's will have to wait, but hopefully whatever I stock up on for the boys will be good for her too...
    Ill get my first ones in boys and unisex colours and get pink with the ones that are good on her later...

    What should we make the inserts out of, and can I get that at Spotlight???

    Jodie - you may want to take a look at the trial pack from green kids - that will give you a day and night nappy - and templates for your own inserts - if you know what i mean?

    I LOVE BumGenius!

    Green Kids are okay, I find the insert takes ages to dry but I like the opening for the insert the best, no poo can get in like BG. Noah leaks with the GK at night but not BG.

    I have a Hautes and I HATE it, after a few washes it got really pilly and old looking, I could probably post you mine if you want it, it is too breathable so there is a wetness factor after an hour or 2. A waste of money IMO, I don't even use it when I run out of my BG and GK, I just put him in sposies until the rest are dry.

    With 2 bad responses from the Hautes, I might give them a miss!!!

    I might get a trial pack from Bum Genius and Green kids, to give them a fair go...The template for the inserts would be great too!!!

    Im a fan of Haute......i use and stock the Breathables...ive never had a problem with this wet feeling?

    Bumgenius are a good brand....very popular

    Green kids are good...but IMO dont fit the OSFM category all that good. They dont fit DD2 and she is only 10kg....

    Happy Heinys i love!

    Bubblebubs i love

    Swaddlebees are another OK kind too!

    I think ur choices are good.

    Green Kids are a great choice and the inserts can be bought cheaply from Green Kids if you email them and ask about there seconds (they are $60 fro 10 insread of $10 each) and is nothing wrong with them!!! I used Green Kids every night on my DD with a GK insert and a microfibre booster, and we have never had a problem.

    Just remember those its only the ANY TIMES that are recomended for night time. Funtimes and Minkytimes more day time use as not as waterproof. I find GK to be quiet bulky also so thats another reason its a night time nappy for us.

    -BumGenius is a great choice - I LOVE MINE just be sure to get v.3.0 and a trial pack or pack of 3 is a great start.

    I agree on the haute breathable whilst i have never had a leak she does feel wetter...

    Another AIO that might be worht a look is an ITTI BITTI D'LISH or CLASSIC they are GREAT, perfect for a day nappy, nice and trim and look great.

    trying to think of more!!!
    Oh Baby Safari have a good Side Snap Nappy thats meant to be good and easy to use, i havnt got any yet but want too!!!!!

    BbayBehinds are also a cheap option for AIO's, they do NOT last as long as an itti or g/kids but i got some for $18 each much cheaper then some others and they are great for day time use when you know they wont be in the nappy for a long time or a nap, i had a few leaks but mostly due to too much wetting!!!

    hope i havnt blabbed to much, trial packs are a great way to start and soon u will have a fav 4 sure.
