I havent used peapods but yes have not heard many good reviews at all.
BG and PP are both pocket nappies - and i guess you get what you pay for.

at the moment i use Ittis and Baby beehinds (i had a party to start - charmalea did it for me and was a great way to touch and see the product!) and DH likes The bum genius and Baby cheeks (aio's)

You will find most will recommend getting 1 or 2 of different brands and see what you like to use with your bub! as some work better on some bubs than others.

A few of us sell preloveds in the classified sections to if you want to try them out that way.
I have quite a few preloved nappies and they work fine!!

But welcome to your new addiction! :P

p.s What do people think of Hautes OSFM?
