Fluffymail here too - thank you oh so much 'secret' swappie person - it's gorgilicious (I'm pretty sure I know who it was from though judging from the return addy, but we'll pretend it's a secret ). Haven't tried it on his sleeping lordship's butt, but upon awakening, it will be worn with pride.
Jol's - Aware Sensitive is totally anti-nappy-washing-nasties. No brighteners, no fragrances, no enzymes, no fillers, no other yukkies.
FJ love - I was only teasing about the cows... I knew what you meant, I was just sh*t-stirring you.
Kaz - hope Pip pees and poos for you soon hon, we spend all of our time complaining about how much they poo (at least I do LOL), but as soon as they stop we worry. I hope he's OK.
Thanks Maz sweets - you're a doll. I'm going to print out your instructions and give it a go. Stupid question, what do I do with the safety pin (now now, be nice please )? Oh, hang on, I think I get it. I safety pin the new elastic to the old elastic, then pull out the old elastic, which will feed through the new elastic. Right? (Yes, I'm an idiot...).
Oh, and on labels, I like labels on the outside, especially on the back of the nappy, but they can also work well on the wings/tabs. But if they are used on the outside, they shouldn't have a separate size tag sticking out the bottom, it looks a bit tacky. Outside labels should be for branding and nothing else. Itti Bitti do it well (although they do have the size below the logo in small neat lettering, this works OK), so do Wildchild, and Beetlebums. Can't think of any others off the top of my head. If you are thinking of doing outside labels, because you do a lot of really funky, bright and patterned nappies/covers, your label would work best in a single colour (eg: white on black), and should be very simply and boldly designed with high contrast. (Sorry, the designer in me just got let out of her box, I'll shut up now ).
Christy, the funny thing is, BumGs work fantastically for us 90% of the time, it's just that when they don't, they really don't. I have such a love/hate relationship with BumGs, they work wonderfully for a while but then they fail me and I stop trusting them for a while, then I slowly build up trust again only to have it broken again. Sounds like a soap opera, right?
WOHB: a different Bamboozle and a different Sugarpeas cover than before.
