EARFTS nappies?

[STARRYSKY]

Has anyone heard of or used these nappies? they seem quite reasonable in price for what you are getting.
I saw them advertised on "buy for baby" so went to their website, to my surprise they are in SA, I would love to support a business in my home state, but would love to know if they any good!
Any info or experience appreciated, TIA!

I haven't tried them, but I don't think they would be such a great fit for my little one.

They look pretty wide in the crotch (I find that the more narrow the crotch the better, so they don't walk like a penguin!! lol).

Single row snap nappies don't sit well on her, we like side snappers.

I think that design might work a bit better with a double leg gusset?

hmmmm, they do look rather wide in the crotch, dont they. they look like a pretty new company, guess no ones used them yet.

They look interesting and not dissimilar to other front snapping multi fit nappies on the market. Personally I'm not a fan of that design method because I find it too bulky on my titchy girl but I know of others that don't have a problem with it.

If they look like something that appeals to you, I'd advise to perhaps just purchase one or two and see how they go before investing a lot of money in them to be sure that the fit and design works for your baby

If you do then make sure you come and tell us how you go!

I can't work out how it's supposed to be pronounced either

they look pretty!!!
Are they Australia made? They look alot like Hautes and OMG they do look VERY wide. Wonder how that would go on a NB being that big. Their nice and cheap

taken from their about us section on their store

we searched factories sent samples and found a reliable chinese company with good work ethics and practices to produce our nappy, We do pay a higher price for them and we do make very little on each nappy itself but we decided in time we will be a well respected trusted business so we plan to still keep the small margin but aim for bulk sales.

Not Australian made put's me off.

Hi, I have just bought one of these nappies (the black check) and I really like the fit.
Not sure what the issue seems to be with the wide crotch? My son (10months) is on the small size and this fits beautifully. One of the other mum's I know is also really happy with them. Naturally when you buy a one size nappy you have to expect that it will look 'big' when your baby is little.
I have tried a few different brands and the 'sized' ones I bought were actually the last to fit him as a tiny baby!
It is a bummer (no pun intended!) that they are not made in Oz but there are very few that are and at least this is an Australian company.
FYI my favourite nappies are Green Kids and they are Oz made.
Good luck

every baby is different...what might fit your child might not fit mine
fro my preference I do prefer a much slimmer crutch and sized nappies seem to fit alot better

I find that a few of the oversea's, Oz owned companies quality isnt as such compared to a home based WAHM company. I also prefer to use something that I know has been made with love and care and help support an Australian mum who is trying to do her bit for her family, rather something that has been made in a factory overseas. I also want to keep my Aussie dollar HERE and support Aussies trying to do their bit for our economy

I don't know what FWIT means!

Every baby is different of course which is why I wanted to let everyone know that the wide crotch is not necessarily an issue.
Its definitely hard to know where to buy from because we all have such different experiences and there are so many options out there. Unfortunately all bar one of the nappies I have bought from WAHMs have had leakage problems so I now tend to recommend tried and true brands like Green Kids where you get a consistent product everytime. (and an Aussie made one).
It does mean you miss out on some of the absolutely gorgeous ones made by WAHMs tho with all the embroidery and tassles. Always a compromise isn't it!

FWIT = for whats its worth

Id be interested to hear which nappies yourve had troubles with leakage about.

Being a WAHM I actually take offence to

so I now tend to recommend tried and true brands like Green Kids where you get a consistent product everytime.

Dont you think WAHM nappies are tried? If anything they are more tested then some of the bigger named nappies out there. And quality from some of the overseas made nappies tend to be a bit slap bam thank you madam. WAHM's actually take pride in getting their products tested for months and months before hand. Just because they cant pump out the products like others doesnt mean they are any less of a quality.

On a lighter note, Ive actually seen quiet a few reviews if you like about these Earfts lately and they havent been good at that . Ive seen people saying they have bought one and its outwet within the hour and needs a hell of alot boosting in them. Ive also heard that the wings are not even and that the larges are actually as high in the rise as other well know nappies, and that the crotch is way to wide for their children.

I will say though, I think they look great, maybe they needed a bit more testing by others to get them perfect.
