Cloth Nappy General Discussion #196

[helle]

I LOVE my tuttos. They are the best fit for DS little chicken legs. I think they would cover a pretty wide shape range.

With our cloth wipes I leave them in the nappy and hold the corners before I shake into the loo. I REALLY want a LS but have heard they only fit on certain toilet tap things. Does anyone know how to tell?

[*TripleJ*]

Just moved here waiting for the lazy hits to pit the machine in or I'm gonna run out of naps only have 1 nappy waiting for me no more buying for now till I sell or swap some

WOMB: baby cheek pocket

how old is your bathroom? our cistern is 10 years old at least and it fits. Maybe if it doesn't then go to a plumbing place and see if you can get an adaptor. I reckon there'd be some way to do it.

I'm assuming our loo is as old as the house ( so about 18 years old ) it's not apart of the bathroom (which has recently been fully reno'ed), it's comes off the laundry. There is a tap thing there and a hose going to the toilet... if that makes any difference.

The roundish sorta tap are you talking? It should fit I reckon. We have a hose to our loo too. You put one piece of LS hose on that then to the cistern with a T piece and another hose to the actual trigger thingo. Maybe email the company and ask them on issues regarding fitting and solutions if the issue does arise?

Our homemade LS is not working so well anymore. Not sure what the problem is, but it's dripping. DH fixed it for a while, but now it's busted again. Our bathroom is 60 years old and dodgy as all get out. Fortunately we don't really need to use it that much, as poos have made a transition into nuggetdom, and they just roll right off. So much easier! For us. Not for her.

WMM - We have called DD Noodle since she was on the inside. I was mad for noodles while pregnant, and now she gets Nellie Noodle a lot.
The Bonnibuns pockets are quite good, fit the same as a workhorse, but you can pump it up with boosters pretty easily. I don't know if she still does them, TBH, we bought them in 2009 for my SIL to use with my nephew, which she hardly did, and then she gave them back to us. Wanna try one? I reckon she'd do them for you if you asked.

In other news, we have a new washing machine. A front loader. Shiny and good.

WONB: The Tots Bots bedtime getup.

if it has a tap, you'll be right.

we can't use it cos we got new modern pieces of crap toilets that have all the plumbing in the actual bottom part of the toilet - so no tap.

Ridiculous.

It dawned upon me today that I've been using cloth for over 3 years. Thats a lot of poo I've washed away......

[CrazyLady]

my sister has the same issue with the internal plumbing. She rarely uses cloth now though because BIL refuses to change them so she gave up.

[helle]

so itti bitti are having a stock take sale... god help me.

anyone tried the boos as a NN? I got one to try seeing as they were going for $16 each

And I got 3 fushia pink nappies seeing as they were going for $22 each... a boy can wear fuchsia, right?

[CrazyLady]

I was hovering over add to cart on some midnight tuttos but decided to hold off. I'll probably kick myself up the rear down the track I do love a black minky nappy for coodinating ease. That and the site is really slow so I'm too impatient. if they're still there in the morning I'll run it by DP and see his opinion. He'll probably say go for it because he's awesome like that and knows I only buy what I need.

mine too.. which is why DH won't batt and eyelid when he sees the $90 missing from our bank account (I hate you postage!) bless his little cotton socks <3

[CrazyLady]

well DP didn't answer the phone at work but I ordered anyway. For $24 each he can't whinge! they do dry really well too so will be better than BBH in the cooler weather.

I think so. Totally his own fault then haha!

[MrsBexie]

I got 5 boos! 3 med and 2 large. One of each colour. They are meant to be awesome as night naps... so if I like them I will sell off some of my BBH fitteds. I already got an email saying they are ready to dispatch!!
40% off was an awesome price!! $16.77 each. And if you spent over $80 you got a free wetbag too so the postage is free if you think about how much a wetbag is! LOL.

On the MCN page there is a doc about how to make your own little squirt! we will be doing that instead of buying one cause it is only like $20-$30 to make and DH is handy like that!

Audax: YAY for a new shiny washing machine!!! That is awesome!

wocb: her first CGR! It is a large so a little big but hopefully it holds out! I am not sure I like the trifold cause it is not very wide so sits funny on her. I might fod it in half intsead and use an extra booster next time.

[CrazyLady]

Why not? Just use them for around the house if it comes to that. My sister put a royal purple nappy on my nephew and someone said it was too girly. Purple isn't girly! I dunno what they were smoking.

I didn't know about the IB free wetbag offer but I already have 2 so no need for a third. My el cheapo one with the replaced zip only needs a wipe out usually so dries super fast. Nappies are only ever in there for an hour tops anyway.

Oh and the poo fence in the tuttos works DD just tested it for me. If it can survive her broccoli, spinach & kidney bean eating spree poo then it'll do NB boob fed poos for sure

WOCB: Abby Gro but can't remember which

[helle]

The poo fence is what converted mummabear to cloth... Her little guy kept pooing out of sposies but the tuttos contained it

[luna moth]

Bexie - for the hose bit of your LS, get a 7-speed garden hose trigger attachment. I have that on mine, and it's great, because I can match different sprays to different poos or types of nappy. If you do decide to dispatch your BBH fitteds, maybe we can swap for my GNST? I do like those.

Bambootys have a poo fence. Totally works.

I have a clothes horse full of Panadol stained inserts outside moontanning.

LOL! Does that work? I know the moon gets light from the sun and all but does it bleach the stains out? I'd put mine in the pool area to do that but they'd be wetter than when they first went out for sure. The grass has been super soggy of a morning lately.

Told DP I ordered nappies and he was quite stoked I got a few cheap. <3 that man. He didn't ask how much when he was at work because I specified they were on sale. He asked how much were they had off each when he got home though and his jaw dropped when I said $11 something Yup, he now knows what an average nappy is worth and was quite shocked at the drop in price!

ETA: I might have o look at those bambootys too. Poo fence =goood
