Kate - yup the other girls have made good suggestions for you. Lea is right - there are some excellent OSFM's fitteds out there, Cute Tooshies, Baby Beehinds - just to name a few.
Can't remember what else I was going to say so - to everyone. Picking up new car today - haven't even taken it for a test drive - but DH has ASSURED me that I will love it
Ahhh well better get off my fat butt and get ready!!!
Limey - out of curiosity, what nappies have you had problems with when washing in hot? I always wash in hot at 60 degrees - have done so now for a couple of months - all of my nappies are fine so far but degradation in the long term is my concern. The washing instructions on all of them say that hot washing is OK, I used to wash at 30 degrees (my machine won't do a cold wash on a normal cycle, only on handwash, grrr), but since I've been hot washing my nappies are no longer coming out smelly, E's nappy rash has improved heaps, and the degradation of my bamboo has stopped. Even the ones that already had some degradation have not got any worse (although I'm no longer using the worst culprits, my bamboozles, as they leave lint on everything).
Kate, I rinse all nappies before pailing, I find that this helps too (with both the smell and the degradation). Night nappies are rinsed especially thoroughly. Using less detergent may help too, if you are using too much and it is not rinsed properly, the residue can cause nappies to smell.
WOHB: Possum pouches KK AIO. Another good night back in cloth - woot!
on the nappy bin front...we dont have one with a lid...I bought a kitchen bin with a shivel lid...do when I can throw the nappy at the lid if falls in. Also makes it easier when I wash them
I have a feeling AP has lost my AG slushie I got an email asking if i had it yet which of course i dont so looks liek mr AP dude is gonna get one arse whipping from me.
Mel - I think im just as excited about you getting this new car...I keep telling jed and he just as me
Ive done a destash again...10 more nappies that are just sitting there.
Im putting Vy back into nappies at night to cause she wet 2 nights ina row and im jsut to sick to continuously wash and clean. Jed isnt helping (of course) and im not aloud to be sick....stop shouting at me...I didnt know I was...my ears are that blocked and now my voice has gone
Melbel - I know your lurking woman but honestly im no good on the phone atm...im just to sick
Thanks for all of your advice about my stiff nappies ladies, I thought it was something to do with them drying so fast, DUH. I hung some out last night and I'm just bout to go bring them in now before the sun gets too hot. I'll let you know how they are.
Misskate - I have a boy and his wee is the stinkiest I've ever smelt. I find that no matter how I wash my nappies whether it's hot/cold more/less detergent etc. It never makes a difference. After I pull them out of the washing machine, even after 3 washes once because I was so annoyed at the smell, they STILL smell. But after a few hours in full sun outside, there is absolutely no smell in them at all. The sun works wonders.
I'm interested to know what nappies can't be washed on hot? Can anyone give me some examples? I'm thinking anything with bling as it would possibly melt the glue. But velour, minky, fleece etc all seem pretty heat tolerable to me?
Maz - I hope they find that slushie, of all the nappies to go missing it had to be a good one didn't it. damn.
WOHB: I don't know the brand, but it's a pretty flowery sidesnapper.
Maz - you better join the women against man flu group on FB then. When he is sick drive him like a slave back mwahahahaha.
I think I am gonna have to put Em in sposies for a while. Unless mum is willing to wash the nappies. A friend is looking after the girls atm, and there are hardly any clean nappies left.
