Willow - i will be your enabler babe! i was shopping up for nappies from 12 weeks - we have heaps here for Gremlin!

[Willow]

Thanks BG just makes me nervous buying stuff for bub this early. I know it's silly but I can't help it! But I did that last time with DS, was too scared to buy much before he was born and then found it hard to buy up when I stopped working so swore I'd be more organised this time!

Called DH and he said go for it so now I just need to decide which colours! Actually buying mostly larges for DS (so I can give a lot of his nappies to the new bub) and a few mediums for bub.

willow - i started buying nappies from about 6 months. If you dont, you will end up paying so much more - i took advantage of every sale, free postage offer etc that i could get - by doing that i reckon i saved at least 30% overall. go get em hun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i have a lou lu, the frilly red bum on, tooooo cute. just a bit big on her for now though.

mel - if i see any more lotus nights i will let you know, very happy with them. stoked actually.

raven - i would take any size auriel! i need to satisfy my curiosity.

question for you all - what are your top 3 nappies?
mine:
genessa forge
dragonflymagik
swaddlebees OSFM fitted

and of course the pop in

genessa and dragonfly were actually soem of the last nappies that i tried, wish i found them earlier though!

[1MOREPLZ]

hmmmm top 3 nappies ~

LOU LOU (for fit & absorbancy)
Itti Bitti (nice trim fit)
Fluffy Bubs (for fit & absorbancy)

BUT

baby beehinds bamboo fitteds

[suse]

Hmmm, top three nappies (can I make it top 4 LOL)...

CK Auriels
Beetlebums pockets
Green Kids pockets
Cute Tooshies

[LimeSlice]

Kitt3n -top 3 nappies - IB, SB OSFM, Bum G OSFM - the first 3 i bought and still the most , easiest to use and most economical. They are also the ones that fit Charlotte the best.
Not necessarily the prettiest, but they are effective

Willow - go for it! I wish I had bought more earlier too!!


Happy Birthday Barbie!!! WOOT! lol


WOHB:rockmelon d'lish

[Freya]

Go for it Willow

Hmmm top 3 nappies............well we only own a few brands of AIO/pockets atm, the rest are fitteds and covers. Id have to say the IB Dlish are the #1 fave in our house followed by their Sandmans/Maz covers. The BBHs do ok but havent really used them full time yet. Can I defer an answer til I get to cloth the newbie for awhile?

[Willow]

Hmmm, OK, I had them in the cart all ready to go but now I'm thinking...do i really want ALL IBs for DS? There's still a LOT of nappies out there that I haven't tried. The d'lish are a great fit on him, love the AIO factor etc etc but I used to love BumG's till I found IBs iykwim? Maybe I should check out some other brands and just get him a 6 pack instead....ooooh... I don't know what to do now.

I don't really like fitteds and covers so that wipes a lot of stuff out right?

Might go check out these loulou's...what else would you guys recommend having a look at?

I've got or tried:

BumG OSFM pockets - happy with these for ages till the microfibre stink factor set it, we've since resolved that, but now I've noticed the elastic going on a few
IB d'lish - sewn in and snap in, prefer sewn in
Berry Plush - loved these but crapola fit on DS, side snaps not for us
Baby Kanga pockets - these are OK and are still going strong but don't love em
BBH fitteds - great but again, not much for the fitteds
Peapods - actually found these OK on a small baby with frequent changes
Mandy Macs - again, fitteds...

I like the look of the Fitzalls and will probably grab two of those later at tax time or after bub is born.

I guess I'd like a few show off nappies, preferably AIOs cause we don't really have any.

OR...after all that, do you think the theory of sticking to what you know and love works best?

[Visitor8]

LMAO yes I saw that on telly this morning. Barbie is old now haha

Willow I started buying as soon as I found out!

Maz, don't forget you can use your GDUNH code too and get an extra 5% off, so 15% all together.

Fav nappies... gosh...

WC
Itti Dlish
Bizy Bee
CK
Beetlebum

Oh what happens if I cant choose 3? lol

I really hate these clothd up nappies....

[1MOREPLZ]

Missymoo...i have 4 of the cloth'd up fitteds..and don't mind them (as long as i boost them abit more) they are a nice snug fitted nappy

[Visitor8]

Willow where possible you can try second hand That's what I did. The ones I loved I stuck with though, like Itti. Plus the resale is damn good on those. I sold some on B4B and got $18 with buy it now. I know of a few AIO you should try...

Bizy Bee, Sarahs halfies are gorgeous!
WC bling if you can get it Otherwise I love the minky daydreamers, and the pul ones too.
CGR, I have one which I love.
Bubblebubs are GREAT! I had the one with snaps, sold it now but LOVED it. Not much for aplix but if you don't mind it then that is an option.
The minky magicalls are GREAT! I wasn't convinced because I didn't like the original ones, but the new pocket style is wonderful. We haven't had a leak yet and have used it for nights too

How come you don't like fitteds and covers?

Kat I have 2 of the large ones, they are just so bulky between Ashtons legs, but he is already some out on the snaps. Plus I have to boost heaps otherwise he out wets them in an hour or less

[Kitt3n]

ah well if we are going to make it 4 i just have to throw in abby gros too!

willow - i really really suggest you try a genessa forge. go to the custom section and you can pick what you want (which colour minkee, snaps, snap colour, everything........ apart from that they are just the bomb, such a nice fit......... they are just awesome). IF you get one, especially after you see it on, you will certainly go back for more......

WOHB - sb's fitted/maz cover

[Willow]

Missymoo - that's another thing I should have said, trying to avoid aplix for DS cause he takes his nappies off if they've got aplix Have taken to putting Maz covers over his BumG's some days!

Also, I try to avoid sized nappies until bub is bigger. I just won't have the cash to be updating nappies as bub grows out of them.

Fitteds and covers - basically, i'm lazy! haha. The less washing and the less i have to put on during a nappy change the better. Also, I don't like the bulk.

OK, think I've decided to get the bulk pack of IBs for our work horse nappies and then I can always get one or two other nappies later on, and might get those second hand where I can. Forgot about that.

Thanks Cat, will check them out! Never heard of them to be honest

[suse]

Missy Mel - I'm surprised to find WC at the top of your list

[briggsy's girl]

willow - i started buying nappies from about 6 months. If you dont, you will end up paying so much more - i took advantage of every sale, free postage offer etc that i could get - by doing that i reckon i saved at least 30% overall. go get em hun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i haven't yet paid full price for any nappies (well, i have for maz covers, but that's different!) - i've just picked stuff up while it's on special

it's a good time to buy at the moment with the nappy hunt - lots of sites with discounts on. maybe scope out which ones offer discounts. i know the fitzalls are on spesh (and offer layby), ittis etc - look around and see what you can get cheap. i think Arimeh stocks bum g's and is having a special next week (and offers layby)...

i'm only 28weeks now and have a fairly decent stash - i started with the paranoia about getting stuff early - then DH told me to suck it up, time to be positive and he started buying - gave me no choice if i wanted any say on what we have!
