Hi all, trying to stay awake for next cyclone update while studing = impossible so thought I would pop in here - man you gals can talk!

Gigi - trainers were the GF ones I was telling you about. We used them today with the inserts in like a nappy- need to put snaps on them as it was a real battle to pull them up with the insert in over her chunky thighs - imagine me holding her up by the pants and shaking her into them crotch seems pretty narrow to me - 13cm at it's widest. I'm going to try them without the insert tomorrow so will let you know. BTW she kept them dry - so maybe they will be good luck for us :shrug:
i think i was typing my post, when you posted yours.

nope, my memory did not remember you talking about the GF trainers, i'm surviving on not much sleep (can't stop worrying about our housing situation, it keeps me awake til 4am) - so my memory is not great.

so why are they funky? i looked on the GF site, plain fleece outer? or am i missing something?

did you get the medium or the large?

the description made it sound like they have a booster snapped inside them, so i assumed the booster would sit still while you put htem on your child. but from your description, the booster DOESN"T stay put. or are the snaps ONLY at one end?

thanks for putting the crotch measurement - you read my mind!

i finally realised today, the Starbunz trainers go on BACKWARDS! maybe that's where i went wrong with the 2T size - gah - i feel like a drip!

feeling very impatient with Aust post for my fluffy mail!

i'm learning that bilby doens't need nappies when out (and it's so hard to put the nappy back on her, when she's standing up in the toilet room), but knickers are not enough, so she really does need trainers when out, for now, cos she has an aversion to "strange" toilets! Ours and childcare one - fine. any other toilet - ewwwww, no way jose. but i did get her to wee on ONE shopping centre loo just fine. no logic.

i wish i had a sewing machine, to sew bamboo boosters into the crotch of some knickers. so simple, wouldn't take me long, IF i had access to a machine. hmm, maybe i should SNAP them in instead? i know someone with a snap machine.

dh keeps talking about buying me a fancy sewing machine. if only he bought it instead of talking about it. all these mcn making fabrics i have, but no machine. so frustrated. and yes, i have trainer patterns all ready to go. sigh.
