Thinking about going to AIOs instead of disposible

[Arimeh]

Pockets are easy to use - I don't use flats unless I run out of all the other easy ones!!! lol

Good on you
I really like LouLou AIO's they are really absorbent and last longer than the other AIO's that i have.
The also do a fantastic night AIO that i am in love with, i am saving for more and then she will be in one of those each night.
Down side is that they take longer to dry.

Im sure that you have probably figured this out, but you can get fitted cloth nappies (MCN) that are not flats and work well... i mostly use BBh (baby beehinds) with a wrap, you can get extra inserts for these.

FWIW MJ has been in cloth ALL her life, never a sposie ever, and she has not had a problems... we have ezcema in the family and she has terrible dribble rashes etc and can get very dry or irritable patches else where, but NO nappy rash or anything like that in the nappy area.

Baby Beehinds ebay store has discontinued Magic Alls for $15 atm with free postage! Also comes with a free bamboo booster. Might be a good place to start.

I prefer AIO's on Emily. They're just a much better fit on her over any other nappy I've tried. I use Baby Beehinds and Itti Bitti's.

IMO and its just that, the majority of the nappies that are on ebay are a bit of rubbish - you dont realise this until you have paid for the more expensive ones and go - ahhhh these are soooo much better.

KAte the ones that you listed i bout when i was pg... I call them the cr@ppy nappies.... not cos they are good at poo, but because they are pretty useless...
After one wee they are wet, if left on for more than an hour or 2 they can get literally soaking and the only reason that i dont have leaks is cos i have good wraps.
These tend to be the nappies that i use prior to bed after a bath as i know that she will only be in it for 2 hours tops and generally only does one wee and sometimes no wee at all... (we sit on the potty, but thats another thread)

Also i dont really like the BBH Magicalls as they too dont last that long and are the only nappies that i have got leakage from.

when it comes to MCN, i have found that you really do get what you pay for.
I would slowly build up a stash if money is an issue and buy good quality ones as you will end up regretting the cheaper purchases later on

That's interesting. I wonder if they are better on older kids? The little one who is wearing them has only been using them since she was about 14 months old. She has bamboo boosters at night (that i made), but they are pretty happy with just the nappies and a cover during the day.

Thanks for letting me know,

Kate
