Cloth Nappies #188

ok i haven't been in here for what seems like FOREVER......over 2 years in cloth here (well not me but DS) :P
i have a gorgeous stockpile for next bubba (starting ivf this month) and i am wanting to get some of the kissaluvs hybrid contours but can't find them readily available at many stockists here in oz online...may look at the US as the dollar is strong...but girls spam me via PM if anyone knows of some available

i didn't think lux flakes were to be used on MCN's as it is a stronger/concentrated 'soap' than detergents and soaps/too much detergent will make that 'barrier'thus causing absorbtion issues??

katones - good luck with the ivf hun. hope first try is successful for you. have you tried the buy and sell mcn group on fb? someone on there might have some for sale or thinking about selling their stash.

i found my pea pods still dont fit very well even now...so they are in my "only if i haven't done the washing" pile but i found that with most of the BBH as well. including the cover i used last night :wall: that for some reason leaked where the velcro is stitched on so everything was soaked this morning....in his bed and ours cos i didnt notice before i put him in bed with us at 3am this morning...

i have some kissaluvs fitteds.... i bought them 2nd hand off the FB page or nappy addicts.... but didnt use them for NB cos the were too wide in the crotch i use them for nights now.

QM- oh no!! tassie!
katones- sending sticky vibes ur way.


WOCB: cute tushie spaceship pattern.

I've actually found bbh bamboos fit p really well, and given how small he is in build it is awesome.... We have soooooo many cheapies we bought in nb size that still don't fit him

Wohb.. Disposable cos daddy did it after getting home from work

thanks Halltribe

I'm so glad I decided to pop in to this thread. All you lovely ladies with your massive stashes are making me feel much better about the fact that I might too become a little MCN obsessed once I actually have this bubs! I have to somehow control myself as I have told DH that MCN WILL save us money!

My velcro BBH leaked through too - they only velcro I use now in Nicnaps as Nicky puts PUL into the velcro tabs so no leakage. Velcro is great though in my house because with the velcro nappies my hubby and even my older kids can and will change the nappies!

WOSB - Sugarshot small

ok so i washed my new petite 4 times and put it on my son today but within an hour it leaked :(. i was just wondering if there is a special way to put the snap in boosters in with the long tails as i think i must have done it wrong. i really love the look of the nappy but sad it leaked. anyone got any tips?


WOHB - pea pod

No suggestions sorry hun, I bought my petite 2nd hand and had the same issue. Ended up giving up on it.

Teresa, I fold both the long tails in three then sit one on top of the other under where DS's wettest spot would be then fold the top layer over the top ITMS.

Also Kazbah, I have a couple of reusable liners but wasn't using them on that day. The nappy in question STILL smells of poo even after spending all day on the line in the sun. I did use an extra rinse cycle too. I don't much like my washing machine, it never seems to get stains out either! Grrrr! Can anyone suggest any good disposable liners that won't block up our septics?

I bought one petit to try and got sick of it leaking all the time - found something better for us now.

Hi everyone :) Haven't been in for a while but felt like sharing the fluffy love!!! We are still loving using cloth and I am happy to report that when we took DD for her recent needles, we decided to put a disposable on her for the first time in as long as we can remember because at the Dr's they take the nappy straight off to weigh her. I went to get the sposie and came back to put it on her and wondered why I couldn't get it to fit right. DH also had a go and we were laughing at how we didn't even know how to USE sposies because we are so cool with our cloth. Then I realised........the sposie was a newborn size!! It was from the only sposies we ever bought (before DD was born) and she no longer fit into them. Silly Mummy and Daddy.

We use BBH petites without any problems.......we are even able to just change the inserts and reuse the shell over and over. I wonder if they had a bit of a bad batch or if maybe they aren't a good fit?

WOHB: BBH night nappy with night cover.

Haha ky that's funny!
Mr P has been doing water poos so I'm doing a lot of fun rinsing and washing... He'd also been doing a lot more lately which sucks...

Wohb... Sposie cos mummy's lazy :lol:
