Cloth Nappy General Discussion #196

Yeah, well, I missed the news. Congratulations Nelle! I think darlingsdownunder sell ME Sandys? They're lovely. I still think ME Rikkis ar one of the best covers out, despite all the newfangled stuff. :lol: I'm sure your prefolds will be blinding. I still love the ones I homemade out of old towels from our local laundry service. Great pocket stuffers.

Kim - AbbyGros! Can't believe one of the disciples (helle and CL) didn't mention them. They are one of our thistiest nappies, OSFM, snap-in, and quite cute.

CL - set your dog on the postie next time! Actually, that might work in reverse....

JJJ - try a little paste made from napisan and water, rub it in, leave for 5 minutes, then wash. Good luck! There was an awesome bulk deal on tuttos at the expo - I think it was 19 + 10 booster sets, for $600.

I'm still sick. Hubby coping remarkably well with the washing, and the nappies. He ran out of velcro so had to start using snaps, and is doing just fine. I'm a bit chuffed, actually.

WONB: A bit of fresh air.

Bubs was cooperating this morning and I was able to walk to the post collection place. I was asking the woman (who wasn't very friendly) why it wasn't just left rather than taken back to the mail centre. It had a label that said "do not safe drop" so that explains why they took it back. 3 brand new fluffy tuttos are in the wash :D

My 30 minute venture to collect a parcel turned into a 3 hour potter down the street seen as though bubs was cooperating. I ended up getting an $8 maternity bra, $2.50 t-shirt and $15 cargo pants that are sooooooooooo comfy and I can wear the rest of my pregnancy quite easily.

DD is TT around the house now so my fluffy loads are way smaller. I do maximum 2 nappies a day so I've been rinsing the wee off the inserts and putting the wet inserts in a seperate bucket from the shells. We've only had 3 accidents in 3 days and way less funky ammonia smell from over flooded nappies. I'll wait a little bit longer before we TT out because her bottom is still a little too tiny for the child's toilets at playgroup/in the parent's room in town and she gets scared on them. I don't want to start carting a potty around in the pusher :lol:

WOCB: "Unders" (undies) lol

Eek! Just went nuts at the close patent eofy sale!
Nah not really. Got 6 things for $52 :D

Wowb bonnibuns night

So I got my tuttos today. With my fuchsia nappies. DH chucked a mini fit and says DS isn't to wear them. Gawd! So... I don't know whether to hang onto them incase we have a girl (which we so wont now I've bought pink nappies!) or try get my money back. Boys!
What gets me is he's fine with a girl in all DS blue ones. I said if we have a girl I'm starting a whole new pink stash! Because I'm totally reasonable like that XD

Wojb maz nn and maz cover.

Wmm: i got 3 night boosters, 2 shells and the bamboo packet things that go in nappy buckets for $24!!!! Sooo cheap!

Helle: that sucks! Fuschia is a boys colour too! Hahahahaha... How much were they?

Still no disana covers! :( tracking is useless once it gets to aust so have no idea where it is right now. Boooo. And i got another tutto booster set i bought off b&s page. I am sure they said bamboo but its microfibre!! Bah hate the stuff!!!! Shudder. Guess they are good to have for quick drying. I just dont want to use them! Lol. I *think* it is just the covers due to be delivered now... Cant remember any other nappies to be delivered just yet.
Oh oh and go have a look at my mcns in the customs folder!!! My japanese crane and my pea**** embroideries are done and amazing!!!! Cant wait to get them!!!

Wocb: gnst and pul cover.

Was he really serious Helle? Both my little guys have worn pink BBH's and we have a star GK that's pretty feminine. With a dark tee, it's a pretty cool look.

Glad you got your nappies CL.

JJJ, is there still cream residue on the nappy, or is it just a stain? I'd maybe try dishwashing liquid if there was residue, but not sure about a stain. I guess Audax's napisan method and/or leave it on the line for a few days and nights.

Going through and depilling the prefolds. Bit precious maybe, but they look much nicer after. One shredded (I suspect it's the one that looked a bit sorry pre-wash anyway) and I have a few loose threads to snip, but I have to keep in mind I used them for two babies already, first as prefolds, then for stuffing large pockets, and also cleaning stray poo and spew. Not bad really!

Helle can you sell them on? Brand new tuttos would go pretty quick on the mcn page.
How's he gonna feel about the purple snaps on the bonnibuns?

helle - maybe keep onto them just in case. then if you do have another boy you can always sell them on!

well i am waiting for my two envious nappies i got from mumma loves bubba! i ended up winning the elmo that says mummy's boy on it too! hopefully they come soon

Well winter is fast approaching. put the fushcia nappies on DS around the house!

Nelle-those must be really awesome quality prefolds to survive 2 weeks in bleach after 2 kids.

helle - I bought a fuchsia well before we knew DD was a girl, with the plan that it would go under bodysuits OR with a black singlet and flames babylegs if it was a boy. I think fuchsia is a pretty rockin colour. But, yeah, just around the house... he wouldn't know, would he?

Bex - pea****, hey? :lol: They are lovely.

Hey, Nelle, did you manage to check out nurturenappies? Thay had a sale on stuff you like, think it is still going. Meant to come in and mention it, but am sick so went to bed mega early last night.

WONB: Bubblebubs AIO.

my 2 envious nappies just arrived! :leap:

just trying to work out how they are OSFM. there are no snaps at the front to snap them down. might check out her website and have a look.

YAY! my first pretties :leap:

WOHB - bbh petite in orange

I'd say they work the same way as DM's - they are a little high in the rise for a young bub but still work ok :)

Helle - I remember Aricyn being in a bright pink nappy when he was younger.. I'm sure I have a pic on facebook of it too!!! LOL.. (are we friends on facebook?)

Not much happening here.. going to buy 3 twinkle lily night nappies for DD1 cos I really like them!!! If anyone is looking for some, they are on spesh at jazzy buttz for $30 each!! Huge special (not where I'm getting mine from cos she only has mediums and I need larges!!)

Ahh I wish I had more cash.. I'm using my birthday money to buy nappies - how addict-ish is that?!?!? Who needs new clothes anyway ay.....

WOATB's (whats on all their buttocks): Widdlewuns.

WMM he should be fine about purple snaps. Just has an issue with hot pink fluff XD
Sorry. That was a really petty rant but geez! It hindsite I probation just shoulda spent an extra few bucks and got something unisex.

i think one of them has a tiny bit of residue on the wing but the rest are definately grey stains maybe i need sunlight soap? anyone else use it? apparently u need to do a strip wash afterwards

hmmm in new to this section so still trying to work out all the acronyms :)
I used terry's with DD1 but had a front loading washing machine up until a week ago and it took an hr and a half to do a load and didn't spin properly so it was too hard to keep up. i also had a set of Bummi's but they always leaked and i sold them pretty quicky.
Anyway i got given a stack of brand new BBH for this bub which i love + a BBH minky one and 2 clothed up minky ones with flannel boosters. I have only just realised that soaking in napisan is bad and now that i have a decent WM that does a hot wash i just dry pail. Do i need to strip the nappies?

I have just ordered some more BBH hemp fitted's as they are on special on their site - buy 2 get one free so 3 hemp nappies + postage for $38.95. Does that sound like a good price?
How many nappies all up have you got? how many do you need? i use nature babycare sposies at night

sounds pretty good to me
we have around 50 all up for both kiddies and thats plenty probably heaps more than i should lol i was getting away with about 16 for each including night nappies but i do cheat and use sposies some nights

i just bought some moo goo msm cream do i need a liner or is it safe to use it straight on?

WOMB: magicall
WOJB: petite peony :heartbeat:

moogoo MSM is safe to go straight on! No liner needed...

WOCB: purple Bubblebubs candie...

ok can someone please explain what WOCB and WONB means :)
thats great about moogoo, that stuff is awesome!
