NaNa, are your bumg's the latest verion 3? if so, you can contact where you bought them from, as there is a 12 month warranty on them.

oh later on, you say you got the Version 2 (six month warranty). that answers my questions. the v2 were so bad, many of their flaws were fixed, with Version 3.

i think the lesson for newbies is, if you buy bumgenius, but the version 3 type. (12 month warranty too). and buy ONE to try out. if you love it, then go buy more .

Cheeky Monkey - thanks for your feedback on the sewn in itti bitti's - see what i mean - EVERYONE has something to offer on this thread, cos it's impossible for any of us, to have access to ALL the nappies in existence.

Alioops - thanks for the doing up explanation, will try that next time i see that bub. I tried on lots of mcn on her today. she fits the Large BerryPlush great, medium Lotus, (so narrow crotches suit her chubby thighs well), medium swaddlebee, i tried one aplix nappy on her and it fitted horribly, even though she was in the middle of the weight range.

baby soft landings have a new shipment of OSFA Rumperooz which i'm also thinking of for this bub, must find out more first, like width of crotch.

most of the mcn i would like to get for this bub, are very hard to get, made in tiny quantities by people no longer taking customs. i'm hoping like heck, bub will fit in minky magicalls, at least they are easy to get.

Shellsbells - there was someone else last year, mad on Bumwear nappies too. i didn't consider them cos of microfleece inner, front closure (opposite of what i knew suited bilby).

SMOZ - welcome!
narrow crotched, absorbent nappies are absolutely possible, cos that's what i used with bilby. until she went and tt-d on me, little tart. LOL. i wish she was still in MCN!!!!
what type are you after?
fitted
pockets
aio/ai2
night
swim
tell me what you're after, i'll give you a list of brands and where to find them.

1180 - yes Possum Pouches service is just ace, i highly recommend Robyn too. Buy for baby might have a Lotus night nappy pretty soon on their listings.

NaNa - it is possible to have embroidery on a nappy and it still be waterproof. THe embroidery needs to be done with reinforced material under the embroidered bit, like Malden Mills windpro. If the embroidery is done without reinforcement (or a hidden waterproof layer for the whole nappy shell), then you'll get leaking. Embroidery can have thousands of holes going thru the PUL/fleece, every hole is creating leaks, so this has to be mitigated - with the reinforcing, or a whole layer of another waterproof fabric e.g hidden PUL, hidden MM windpro.

i had the same issue you're describing, so i went and asked the same question on Nappycino (where heaps of MCN sewers hang out) and i got heaps of replies, describing how to do it, with success (waterproofness). i haven't done it myself, but was interested to know it can be done (and how it can be done).

i think Melbel and Maz could give you a better answer, cos they do it for real.

what do you stuff your bumg's with for interest sake? is it the insert that comes with, or a bamboo trifold?
