I am also waiting on 2 more Green Bums and 2 of the BBH minkke AIO's :D
I also just bought 2 of the Itti Bitti's (seconds) hubby does NOT know about this purchase.. he seems to think we are going to go broke buying nappies :P little does he know :D
i want fluffy mail!!!!
waiting on 2 x bbh fluffy mails and my IB fluffy mail!
Melham - what did you decide to do with the lj's?
If you didnt pay $50 i would have bought them off you save you sending them back lol
can someone explain to me what nappy you use under these longies?? i am having a serious blonde day :P
also what are "flongies"?? and their purpose??
katones - you use them over fitted nappies (ie non- PUL covered nappy) they heap to absorb and evapourate the wee to kep bub dry (esp over night).
FLongies are fleece ones - FionaJill makes them
Wool longies are wool .. obviously
i started to use them as i found my BBH wool covers did not have a high enuf rise over the BBB to stop wicking/leaks when DD slept on her belly
OK, I am soooo rich now after getting my tax cheque (wooooot!!) so thinking of getting some of these cheap ittis...not convinced though. BP's don't suit us (too tight around the thunder thighs) so bit concerned these might be the same, very similar type of nappy aren't they? You guys love them though right?
I think I'd go large for DS, he's probably just a medium ATM but htat will change very soon and I'd rather get more use out of them.
Don't technically need any nappies right now but that will change and then I probably won't have the cahs so taking advantage while I can.
Also scored a LS on ebay for $60 so pretty happy with that.
KATONES
woolies (soakers, shorties, longies)
and flongies (fleece long pants)
can ALL be worn, over FITTED nappies.
FItted nappies are entirely made out of absorbent material, no waterproof outer.
AIO's and pockets generally have a waterproof outer, so if you put longies or flongies over those, you're using them as a clothing item, not a waterproofing item.
Longies - long pants made out of wool. You lanolise them to make them waterproof. SOme people handwash wool, many makers especially recommend this. SOme people machine wash (on the VERY GENTLE WOOL CYCLE ON COOL) the longies, then use spray lanolin to make them waterproof.
Flongies - long pants made out of polar fleece, with a hidden layer of microfleece (in some brands, it's a hidden SHORTS layer, others use a hidden SLING layer. THe fleece is the waterproof barrier. These can be washed in the sewing machine.
Both options, longies or flongies make great pj bottom substitutes.
hth Katones.
Willow, get Large for sure. Isla can squeeze into a med & she hasn't got thunder thighs. A large is much better suited.
can you use these wool longies over flanny flats? or not a good idea??
yay fluffy mail.........my longies except they are now at a ladies house she is doing a pattern off them tonight sop she can make them for me. I tried them on him and they are huge had to roll the legs up a little but they are so cute.
I ordered 4 itti bittie.....two green and 2 blue.
WOHB.......peapods (hubby changed him last)
i dont see why not - just wont have the side guards to hold tight i guess??
then again when it comes time for bub to be in nappies it will be getting hot... shorties??
I got 2, a lime and a turquoise...talk about impulse buy!! Ah well, still on a high after opening my tax cheque LOL!
But they were cheap so no harm done.
lol willow!
arent they always impulse buys ! with us anyhow!
Katones. yep probably shorties or soakers but i hear wool is very cool to wear even in summer
I will have to send DH to take the kids to school for at least the next week and hope the fluffymail lady doesnt run late or I will be busted. Got busted today with the longies just hadnt told him how much they cost and he read the invoice as it fell out of the bag :rolleyes: didnt say much though, said there was a whole jump in there (parachute jump). :redface:
hubby just busted me about the next purchase... he says he doesn't care.. go and spend more money on the boy :D woo hoo!!!
I dont think Dh really cares either just pays out on me for something to do, I sorted all our nappies today so he knows ones that need covers ect then told him we still need another dozen nappies at least........he didnt even question me though we do have over 30.
hmmm we don't have that many but i am SURE by the time bub arrives we shall have that many :P
so now i am waiting for 6 more to arrive :D and i finishw work soon (maternity leave) so i shall have LOTS of shopping time :P
Well i just fessed up to DH - and he said we had enuf nappies lol.
BUt i told him i bought them for him as i know he like AIO's lol
And that it was with my paypal money so he wont even notice it missing hehe!
