Anyone tried Disana nappies? Question about overpants...

[Salsa]

I did a search on 'Disana' but all the threads that came up were the very long cloth nappy general discusions. I flicked through some, but couldnt find the high lighted words - So I thought I`d ask directly if anyone has tried Disana nappies?
They look good and affordable to me but I`m not convinced of how easy or effective they will be to use.
Also, I was thinking of not getting the wool over pants/covers, partly because of price and also because I think the overall system looks bulky. Has anyone who`s used them found them to be bulky?
I was hoping to make my own merino covers (sewn not knitted), but not sure if they will work with the Disana tie nappy. Any thoughts on this?

I haven't tried that one either, sorry!

Thanks guys - hopefully someone has used them and can give me an opinion!
Have a google of them and see what they look like. They are quite different.

I wish I still had my Kushies from DS - then I would`nt need to do all this researching again - like all his stuff, we kept 5.5 yrs worth of things and then sold them to come here - only to get a BFP a week before we left

I think you could give the merino a go. I have some blanketing here from years ago that MIL gave me that I'm going to attempt to make a wool cover from. It seems very similar to the the BBH wool covers. Have to find the stuff now

what i`ve got is not as thick as blanket, but if i lanolise it (and hotwash it first?) then it might be alright. Last night I was browsing and found how to make the same style as the Disana covers out of old jumpers! Quite cool, but the person who made them said that their kid never wore trousers since they made them - cause of their bulk. Which didnt bother them, but might bother me.
As far as using the Disana tie nappy- if I go with them, I dont know if a neat fitting wrap cover will fit properly over them. And I would prefere not to have anything too bulky as even with the kooshies I used with ds, some baby clothes wouldnt fit over them.

I managed to score small stack of lovely new merino from a designer clothes shop that was closing for only a few $. Not pretty or funky colours, but nice to have the natural fabric. I wish I`d thought/known about needing nappies before I gave some of it away!
