ok, i'm going to ask some really odd advice for a chicky with a four month old! but i'll ask anyway!
i need to know what sites have reasonably priced "night nickers" that would fit a five year old. my bro's DD still has accidents maybe once a fortnight - she goes into such a deep deep sleep - so they've been putting her in the disposable ones - and even Aldi brand are exxy (and getting too small for her) - so i mentioned to my bro about the reusable ones. his wife washes daily, so they'd maybe need two sets - buy once, and then no more expense. so, recommend some for me. she's not a big girl, but not tiny either - probably a standard size five for most of her clothes - haven't asked what size she's in for day underwear though

Sorry I wasnt more clear with the baby beehinds multifit. I have a minky magicall here and it is AIO with a pocket that I can put extra bamboo boosters in. I was wondering if the multifit was the same or if it was a pocket nappy.
Aiden gave the V1 pop in the poo of approval yesterday and were trialling out the CTs today
I got the pop ins more for the girls (cz of the leg gussets) and the CTs more for DS until the girls are big enough to share.

Hi all,
I am a long time stalker of this thread, but haven't posted cause it moves so fast. I keep reading as I want a few more nappies while we have the baby bonus coming in and I like reading the reviews from you girls.
Felt really deflated about cloth yesterday when my brother was so horrified that I didn't put a nappy in a nappy sack and walk out to the bin.. He then realised I was using cloth and chucked in the nappy bucket (we were at his house).. He made some comment about the convenience of sposies which I retorted with the cost each week,LOL.. Enough whinging though
DH made up for it when he said that he is very proud of how I have embraced it, and have only given in once when I was sick and he went back to work after we had DS. And not to mention how easy it has been with DS as Mel has leant me some smaller nappies for him!
Anyhow, that is a bit from me, and I will try and keep up cause you will understand my closet addiction to cloth nappies..

- happy pocket trainers (at darlingsdownunder)
- bumwear pocket trainers (at brindabellababy)
- simple simon pocket trainers (at twinsincloth)
- starbunz learners aio/pocket style (at darlings and also mother's instinct, nz site)
- noonee wilga night pockets (noonee wilga)
- daddledoo pocket trainers (her shop at the wahmnaps site)
all of these have stay dry inners
all of these need to be stuffed with an insert, some come WITH the insert like the daddledoo, most don't. so then you would need to buy a few bamboo trifolds as well.
the style of these, is for the adult to use the snaps, to INITIALLY do up the product, to size, on the child. and then for the child to pull the product up and down, like knickers, when wearing them.
I'd say the starbunz is the trimmest, most like knickers, out of all of those. (and comes in very pretty colours too).
At that age (5), i'd get the child to help pick out which colour she wants.
go by weight and rise, not clothing size
ask seller for advice on which size for buy before you buy it
if you're really unsure, get two pair sent (same postage cost)
it's cheaper to return one, (twice postage)
than return one and pay again for the right size to be sent. (thrice postage)
aio style
blueberry trainers (ozbaby trends, nurture nappies, the weewuns, baby blossom)
this has a feel wet inner, so child is aware when they wet. it is a true "pullup" style, more like knickers. i know a person who bought two for her five year old boy, that is his night time option. but every child wets differently.
ai2 style
genesa forge nappy knickers (at genesa forge)
due to their cost (same as buying a nappy) i would suggest you buy ONE of them, buy another if you are happy with it and it fits the bill in every way.
unseen by me, but i have heard of Peapods putting out a cloth trainer recently, i think it's only available on the peapod site.
the motherease bedwetter pants are very exxy, but get good reviews, haven't tried those. i suspect you can buy those thru motherease stockists, e.g nuture nappies.
there is no silver bullet
you have to try them and see what suits the child
but putting a brollysheet on the bed sure did help make light work of 3am accidents! Conni sheets gets a good rep too.

Nah, I'm a late bloomer with cloth and only started lil one on ct at 3 months. Liking the bonnibuns too, more for the easy to dry and not so bulky factor.

thanks so much Gigi - will go visit SIL during the week and we can browse some sites. i think bro is keen to do something about this
just a question - with the bamboo trifolds, would itti trifolds be ok? i think this is going to be a short term thing and DD is a loooong way off wearing large itti's so i'm happy to loan them a couple of trifolds

i noticed Daddledoo is having four weeks of sales thi smonth (just before Ms Daddledoo ahs her baby), so look out for that.
if your relative buys
- starbunz (sewn in absorbency with optional pocket if needed)
- daddledoo (price includes a bmaboo trifold)
- genesa forge (price includes a snap in bamboo booster
- blueberry (sewn in absorbency)
no bamboo trifold needed to buy extra. except if child needs more absorbency than the starbunz aio style offers (it's a hybrid).
the concept of inserts in ANY pocket nappy or pocket trainer is that you can use ANY trifold, as long as it FITS.
the trifold, when folded in three, must be AS WIDE as the NARROWEST part of the nappy e.g the crotch.
so if the itti bitti trifold fits that criteria - well and good.
but bear in mind, the itti is a narrow crotch style nappy.
their trifolds are not as versatile, when used in other brand products, as the three sections are pretty well divided - like a prefold. this works GREAT in an itti bitti nappy, but won't suit other products UNLESS they are the exact same width.
whereas a TRIFOLD that has no panels sewn down, is just a rectangle, that you can fold as you wish. the trifold is the most flexible option, cos you can easily fold it to suit either narrow OR wide crotched products (nappies or trainers).
another option for trifolds, would be the microfibre car cleaning cloths. $2 per cloth. to get comparable absorbency, you would need more of them in a pocket, so that would increase bulk.
have you got any peapods bamboo inserts? they would do the trick.
gigi - im after the starbunz pocket nappy/cover or aio .
who was after KK's ?
i have about 7 or so that are too small on DS that need rehoming, they are such a good night nappy , DD is still only 8.7 kgs or so , so we only use BBH minky magic alls at night
the Multi fits are good , a bit wide in the legs , but ive never used one on DD , so i cant really say BUT , at my demos they out sell the magic alls so i guess thats a good sign !!!
Registered User
I was after KK's - but in the larger size - I think I have a m/l here that fits both kids perfectly.
i have 5 size large that dont fit ds ! and 5 size m/l that im not using either

Gigi - She slept 7 1/2 hours again last night and didn't even wet through her cover so It's not every night that she's wetting through. I've heard some people use BBH magicalls as night nappies because they have a pocket you can stuff, has anyone had success with this?
I'm still new to the cloth nappying thing and all the different styles and brands do my head in! Once I fgure out what works best at night, do you think 3 or 4 night nappies will be enough? I'm generally doing washing every 2 days anyway.
I have 4 new nappies coming this week, 3 of which I haven't tried before! I have a blue spot Itti D'lish, a Baby Chilli, a Blueberry Minky and a Minilala. How sad is it that I get excited about nappies? lol. A couple of these (I can't even remember which) are one sized which I haven't tried before, but if I can get one sized that are still cute and trim i'll invest in a few, a bit cheaper long term. The next I want to try is a Cushie Tushie
What are some stunning nappies I can look at for summer? It gets so hot here i'll prob have her in nappies and a singlet through the day so want some gorgeous ones to show off, any suggestions?
janine - i only use BBH minky magic alls with an extra night booster over night on DD , i have all 13 coulors (plus doubles on a few) and they make great bay and night nappies !!! its them and ittis is all i use , with a couple of special nappies in the mix , like Genesa forge , if you want special nappies shes a good start !!!!
