Make sure you let me know.

Queen Mabel - the thing with drying woollies is, you need to dry them "flat in the shade". So if the person Pink was buying from, had been drying the large cover in the sun, it is possible that they may have shrunk.

to the two newbies - so sorry - i've just read about six pages, and i cant be bothered to scroll back to check your names - well you know who you are!!!
one of you asked about buying one of different brands?
The cheapest way to do that, is to go to one of the bigger nappy websites like
- the weewuns
- nurturenappies
- baby blossom
- babysoftlandings
- darlingsdownunder
etc
and buy one of each sort you are interested in, some of these sites have a cap on the postage. so whether you buy one or sixteen nappies, you pay the same post price e.g $5 or something.

ANother way to try a variety, is to buy a MIXED PACKAGE.
three stores i have seen, do these.
so for one price, you get to try e.g
= a pocket nappyy
- an all in one nappy
- a fitted and cover
plus sundry extras like a wetbag, very useful for outings
the stores i have seen this offr at are:
- nurture nappies (under packages)
- baby blossom (under packages)
= darlingsdownunder (Poppit's Pick)
That way you get to try out the various styles, work out
- what fit you like on your bub
- what style you like
- how long things take to dry
- what sort of closures you find the easiest
- what different brands look like IRL
THis experiment/road test - will stand you in good stead for deciding future purchases.

i would not go buying dozens of any product until you know it suits your baby and suits you (for ease of putting on, drying time etc).

Leave the buying of the bulk packs until you KNOW product X is a winner for YOUR child.

(money is a scarce commodity to me, so i'm assuming it is to you too).

Hey Mel, I think it's just that Magicalls don't work on some. They're horrible on Alexander too.. They fit him fine when they should have been too big but now he's the right weight we end up with a flood.

Ash - you might be right. We'll have to see. I think I've washed them 3 times but maybe they need a couple more washes for absorbency?? They fit fine on DS and both kids are built very similar... (ie, LONG waist, no hips or butt to speak of)

FJ - your nappy did brilliantly love... might have to get some more

WOAB: Green IB
WOMB: Kissaluv & Mother-ease cover (nappy is a bit big for her but hoping motherease will take care of any spillage!!)

[Beatrix]

Gud- has it arrived???

[maz]

Gigi - same question as above...did it arrive yet?????

thanks girls for your support for a fellow BB sister!

Now im off ot washing these stinking nappies!!!!!

Gudism - hemp needs up to eight washes for absorbency to work up, but i don't think Magicalls have any hemp in them.
(just checked the product specs, no hemp in the Magicalls).

GiGi, I still can not get use to see you post in the daylight hours!

[Arimeh]

I've decided to list some stuff on B4B... I don't REALLY know what I'm doing...so hopefully its pretty easy!!!

Decided that I'm going to get more IB's (good fit on both kids after washing them enough to get absorbency up) and some more BB Bamboo.... and more bum G's for daycare.

I think I should be set then.

Has anyone seen the new Disana wool overalls at weewuns...OMG.. they are GORGEOUS... (eek.. but expensive!!)

[Willow]

Heya girls...question - got a new front loader and never used one before. Washed nappies this morning and wasn't sure which cycle to choose...went with 'delicate synthetics' - does that sound about right? Most of my nappies are BumG, have a few Baby Kangas with bamboo GK inserts and a few BBH and now two IBs...not all synthetic materials but mostly??

Jols - going to PM you tonight...forgot AGAIN!
