    you just need to lanolise it. there are a few ways to do it. either put a small drop of lanolin in a bucket of water and let it soak for a couple of hours or you can get some spray on lanolin. depends on which way you want to go really

    Kitt3n we have side snaps here.
    I have 7 WW's (love them much?) and am always too slow when she puts up custom spots. Not that we actually need any at the moment.
    Although I have to say im not a fan of the one only rule now. I liked getting the three of them at a time but I understand the need for everyone to be able to try them.

    May have to sneak on over and have a look at BBH though.

    is anyone a fan of ninky bots on fb? im thinking of unliking it, they started on about how they are so worried about people useing the eco wash as it has bicarb in it and only rng should be used, sounded alot like scare tactics to me! then in the same post said how they sell it and its the best thing out!

    sarah, the petites are a completely different fit to the magicalls..... COMPLETELY. I had a couple of them in medium for miss m and they were a little too small, should have gone for a large - they would have been pretty great if i had just bought the right size!

    I love WW too Since I started using her nappies she has become so amazingly popular! Christie is mega nice to deal with too

    What is the issue with bicarb? I've heard loads of nappy makers suggest bi-carb.... I detest when people slander products to promite their's

    I found RnG to be horrible and I will never, ever use that on my nappies again. Eco store all the way here (and just to add, as I mentioned above, i have NEVER needed to do a strip wash and i have pretty much always used ecostore. never had any elastic or any other issues for that matter.) I agree with CL, sounds like they are just trying to promote their own product and that is just BS!!!!!!

    I meant in my last post that the petites are pretty good Sarah, not that they are bad!! Probably one of the best manufactured (not WAHM) nappies around. And at the current special of $15 you can't go past them if you need to upgrade/increase your stash.

    Hey ali, yay for cutting back down to one in cloth!!!

    eco store and RG pretty much have exactly the same ingredients

    RG
    sodium carbonate , sodium percarbonate, natural chelating agents, sodium sulfate, bio-degradable surfactants, fragrance oils

    ES
    silicates and carbonates (mineral salts), citrate, cellulose, sodium percarbonate and natural lemon verbena oil.

    my nappies are all fine (except for the CT's...) and that's all i ever used on them... thought they needed a strip when they got stiff but i was wrong! so to this day mine haven't had a strip wash either (well, 5 or 6 have but the other off 20 haven't!)

    CL that exactly what i thought! it was like reading a scare tactic to get everyone to buy the rng then it was mentioned they sell it! everyone who mentioned something else, was prety much shot down that it was wrong!
    ive been using it when i leave washing for 2-3 days, (yay i have enough to last that long!) or like today, were she had been eating crayons and had rainbow pops!
    other then that i just use the laundry liquid i normaly use.
    instead of buying new nappies, i got a new bucket, hot pink wheely bin one much better on the bank!!

    We got fluffy mail yesterday and would have today too but postie came when I was putting Pie to bed & didn't leave it at the door for once. Of course.
    Big relief, I had bought 4 x medium Sugarshots & was worried they'd be a close fit, but they actually fit really well & she will have a bit of room in them yet

    Question - how do you choose a night nappy? We have a Dragonfly magic AI2 that does the job overnight, but we need at least two, & I'm a bit worried about trying another, I don't need any leaks in our bed just as I am converting DH

    We have 3 BBH night nappies and have never ever had a leak. I chose by looking at forums and reading feedback etc etc. I was also a bit price sensitive.
