You must have good gumtree people near you. I have checked a few times and only found BBH (or china cheapies) and generally not that cheap either. I can get BBH new on special for a better price.
I have got a few funky ones from people here. Genesa Forge seem to be so much more absorbent and just better made (than BBH and Ittis) - do they use better materials or am i imagining it?
I love our gf nappies

It was a great Gumtree score. She had Totsbots, BBHs and Pikapus. I didn't take the Pikapus because I really don't need any more nappies. The BBHs were brand new! She even had three BBH M PUL covers and a roll of liners that she gave me. And the Totsbots are pretty girly nappies to snazzy up my stash.
I'm going to gift some of my stash to my sister and SIL. Atm the BBHs are absorbent enough to do DD2 through the night. I like the night nappies best, they're not soaked by the morning, but she does okay with the others. She must be a lighter wetter during the night (and no poos until after she wakes up).

...Must step AWAY from the evil lure of new nappies...but Daily Baby Buys has a 5 pack of ocean themed Bumcheeks for $75 plus postage. My resistance was futile.
Teehee CK, now you can stalk for fluffy mail!
I culled some of my stash to give to my SIL on Friday. Completely justifies my new nappies. ;)

I'm already (im)patiently stalking the mailman for the last couple of pretties I bought. And a secondhand ring sling as well. Going to have to behave myself next week I think!

GFs are ace. They are incredibly well made, about a third of our stash is GFs. I prefer front snappers, but I just grab what's good when I see it.
Finally caved and bought Moogoo the other day. Win. We're dealing with some baaaaad rash, but it's coming good, slowly but surely, between the moogoo and a cornflour/arrowroot blend. Which DD sprinkled all over the floor today. So at least her carpet will be rash free. :lol:

Murphy's Law = going out in a nice new pretty nappy without a liner because you don't think you're due for a poo....and getting a doozy!
lol, the only thing surer than death and taxes is that my baby will crap in her WeeHugger, usually as soon as it's out of the wash.
Lol
I picked up a swim nappy for DD2 yesterday. She starts lessons in a couple of months. Anyone used one before? DD1 used to poo as soon as she got into the warm pool when she was a baby. It was dreadful to clean up. :rolleyes:
I now have such a pretty stash that DD2 can mess up all of them. I'm taking my SIL a pile tomorrow because even though she tried cloth with no 1, she gave up because of leakage. She didn't have the wealth of knowledge that is the BB MCN area. ;) So I'm going to pass some of that on too.
I also want to recommend covers to her. My faves are my BBH PUL covers, but what does everyone else prefer? I have others that are good, but I found the BBHs gave me the best coverage and containment.
I love the BBH PUL covers. I also had a bummis & a thirsties cover which I loved. But BBH was the best :) I got a motherease rikki cover which everyone on here was raving about at the time but I didn't like it much. I didn't like the closure or the prints. Good size & worked well though.
I have had both my kids in monkey doodles swim nappies. Love them. They've never poo'd in them so that's lucky for me.
Part of me can't wait for DD to TT because I am sick to death of nappies :lol: but I know I'll miss them when they are all gone.
was it in here someone was asking about reds running? did anyone work out if they did and what they did to avoid it? I have 2 brandnew BBH red which came with warning, seems a waste just to do them on their own! think if i do them with the other dark and coloured ones it will be ok, and just do the white/light ones seperately?
and hot or cold? it said hot, aren't they more likely to run in hot? i guess then i can make sure they run and get it out of their system right? TIA
Yes they do run! I washed mine with a bunch of other red/orange clothing just to be safe and the white liner ended up a distinct shade of pink. It does wash out eventually but I wouldn't put them in with any light coloured stuff for the first 2-3 washes. After that they should be fine, I stick mine in with all the others without any problems now.
Has anyone ever used prefolds as boosters? The boys are huge wetters and was thinking as well as the 2 inserts using a prefold for night time

I use pre folds as boosters all the time. Especially in pockets and at night time. Pre folds are excellent!

I *used* to use prefolds as boosters. Now they are blankets in the "nursery" where DD lines up all of her teddies, dolls, stuffed octopus and other plush loves to sleep on them, with small boosters lying on top, then kisses them all and says "sshhhhhh" Cute.
I love TotsBots covers, Maz covers, Loveybums. We couldn't use anything with FOE after about 12 weeks as DD started getting the red welts on her legs that took weeks to fade. So our BBH covers had to go.
What's FOE, Audax? I have noticed a couple of cheapie boosters have made DD2 go quite red, so they aren't used against her skin anymore, just as stuffers.
