What I realised today (funny!)

[angelaartsstudent]

I bought some disposables as a "back up" just in case we have a really wet day and my AIOs don't dry on the line (no drier here) and also becuase we are taking a trip down south to my grandmother at some point and will be cravaning = no real washing facilities.

So I realised today:



Disposables are SO ugly!

Okay so now I have pretty AIOs that is a totally biased opinion and I know that it doesn't REALLY matter what they look like becuase there will be clothes over them, but I was shocked when I opened the pack.

I also turned one over, turned it around, unfolded it, had a look at it and realised that:

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO WITH IT.

My poor child will probably grow up really confused or something...or realise that it's mother is disposable-challenged.

PMSL Amanda. That's hilarious. Does the pack have instructions on it?

[alioops]

PMSL!!! Yep they are ugly, even though they try to pretty them up, they just are too papery.

Same as an AIO - find the tabs and put them at the back

[angelaartsstudent]

Do the stretch bits on the side go on the inside of a leg, or on the outside of a leg?

I hope I use them up fast, they are offending my sense of style ;-)

[Arimeh]

Yup I never realised how ugly they are until I saw a pic of Aricyn wearing one before I switched to cloth!!

[Kazbah]

oh dear. That's great Ang

which brand did you end up getting? Don't worry too much, my neice put Pip's sposie on backwards ... they all prefer cloth too!

[angelaartsstudent]

I ended up with Snuggler's ONLY becuase the Huggie's newborns apparently are for up to 4n5kg and the Snugglers are apparently for up to 6kg.

If I don't use them all I'm happy to pass them on to somone who needs them anyway, so am not too concerned.

Baby will be in them once in a blue moon anyway :-)

haha - that reminded me of a story I read somewhere. Heidi Klum had no idea that sposies had grip tabs - and she was tying them on with string at first!

pmsl

Yes they are hideous, and no there isnt much you can do to help that - except to cover them with a cloth nappy! lol

[alioops]

Stretchy bits being the leg gussets or the back of the nappy? Kind of confused there I doubt you will use them up, but DH might

[angelaartsstudent]

The leg bits...

Mr. Man looked at one last night and wasn't sure if they go on the inside or outside of the legs either. However he has not changed a nappy for 23 years.

Both agreed that the AIOs are much prettier. And take up less space.
