hey hey. Been a while since I popped in heyAll is well, still in cloth, just found out we're PREGNANT!! Time to buy little fluff again!
Registered User
thanks for the idea Mel. will give that ago next time! I do have a snap press (had grand plans of making nappies bnuut no time lol) so I can try that if snapping doesnt work! I've just put a Hautes one-size pocket on her...had to fold down to the smallest size so can only use the small insert that came with it bt should be enough for now! Ithink the legs are pretty good but prob could be tighter. overall looks good but I'm not confident we aren't gonna have wing issues as she starts to wriggle in them.
so heres a question...those with Skinny bubs (Im gonna place Susie in that category...she seems really trim round the waist and legs unlike her mum lol) what have you found to be your fav nappies for fit?
missymoo - congratulations!! thats wonderful news!! hoping for a safe preg and birth for you!

Hmm mine are skinny bubs. I think the best fitting ones are my bumg's... GF's (customised for them though).. Bundles of Buns (again - customised) and most side snapping nappies - side snapping ones tend to fit better on skinny bubs - especially if they are built like mine - no hips, no bum - nothing!!
Registered User
lol no bum...thats definitely my little precious!! is bumg bumgenious? which bumg's in particular? theres a couple of different ones on their website
Registered User
Yeah bumg is bumgenius. I used both the sized ones and the OSFM pockets - both were fine on my kids. A little wide in the crotch area, but it never caused any leaks.

Congratulations!
Oooooooo, gonna be fun buying cute mini fluff! Have fun
I'm waiting on the cushie tushie seconds here, ordered 4 because i needed a fluff fix and we're saving for furniture *sigh* and need to buy plane tickets. I only got to get those because i told dp they were $15 off 2 and $10 off 2. No more til i get back from melb i thinkOn the bright side, warmer dry weather en route so will be able to dry them in half a day.

Mel, how would you compare the BumG crotch width to a BBH magicall for example? I have a skinny babe and want to try a BumG. The magicalls were WAY to wide in the crotch for us so if BumG aren't as bad I will try and track on down cheap to give it a go.I used both the sized ones and the OSFM pockets - both were fine on my kids. A little wide in the crotch area, but it never caused any leaks
Anyone else got any recommendations for smaller crotch and higher rise nappies? They seem to work best for us at this stage. Anyone tried the Wild Child work horse?
Yay for sunny days, hopefully things will dry quicker.

Lollybaby - Its been a LONG time since I used a magicall mate - but from memory, they were slimmer than the bumg's in the crotch. But I haven't used one since DD was a baby - have since gotten rid of them because they just didn't work for us.

thanks Helen! tis muchly appreciated! will send you a PM

lolly- I only have osfm BGs but they r pretty wide. From memory they were the same as the minky magicalls if not wider. Were u after sized nappies or osfm? If sized, I'd recommend Genesa forges. You could always request an extra set of snaps so it'd fit better. GF front snaps don't work for us, but I love the Sidesnaps
Gigi- hi! I think I did send u a msg back awhile ago but knowing my luck, it prolly got gobbled up by cyber space. I wish I could meet mel but don't think our time would allow for it...it'd be nice though as I wanna pat a pg belly. Oh wells next time!
I picked up my big GF parcel today, so happy. Still need to sell off a few, but I have a collection which I'm happy with: GFs & Swaddlebees

we've overnighted with cloth for a week with great success! anais wears rocky mountain pockets and drybee's aio pocket hybrids with hemp inserts. they work GREAT. i love the rocky mountains because you can adjust the leg gussets to fit your bubthey're super soft and come in adorable colours ^__^
just ordered unbleached indian premiums with nappy covers for full-time cloth

waiting for fluffy mail from Helen still! hopiung it'll arrive tomorrow! silly aus post...more than 2 days from country nsw to country vic!
had our first ever leak yesterday, DD was in a Giraffe Cushie Tushie yest for 4 hours (she fell asleep so was in it a big longer than planned). I had one of the boosters in but she still wet through. Im guessing it may just need more prewashes? or only wear it for 2 hours or something!

had a leak in our spunky buttsmaybe he is a heavy wetter

6-10 days from MELBOURNE to Kalgoorlie. 8 days from Qld to kal. It only take 32 hours to DRIVE from Melb to Kal too and i'm not counting the day i post item either.
I have a heavy wetting baby and the only time she's outweed a ct couture was when i thought i could chance a full wear after 3 pre washes so maybe that might be the issue.
Friend that borrowed a couple of MCNs just ordered 10 so i have seriously convedrted her.

4 hours is about the max I get out of CT so it might be that it is just how long it lasts.
Kamarine I am yet to find the perfect nappy bag to fit all my stuff in! Dh has his own and his is fine but I can't seem to organise mine the same way! I usually jsut squash 2 in there somewhere.
