Man friendly MCN

[loulabelle]

I wondering if anyone has ideas for man friendly nappies.

My DH is hopeless, he is refusing to put them on.He is meant to be an engineer yet he can't figure out a nappy!

I was thinking pocket nappies would be the best but BG and BBH seem to leave marks on DS's legs, so I'm searching for something softer like a minky.

Any ideas??

Bubblebubs are pretty soft....and since are AIO's are pretty man friendly.....

Or minky pockets like Greenkids are easy to put on too.

DH has some trouble with BBB's and basically anything with snaps cos he's got big hands and long fingers....lol

I was going to say bubblebubs too cos the booster is sewn in! Too easy and the velcro tabs are just like sposies.
Magicalls are now minky and I've been happy with the ones I have.

Or itti bittis but if you get the snap ins make sure you piece them together before you have to go out.

I've had all kinds of interesting nappy and booster combos put on Caleb if I go out and forget to set them up for DH. He puts covers on AIO's

Laura, My DH is a boilermaker and he manages just fine with our AI2s.

When I wash them though I am in the habit of putting everything together so I am not rummaging around at change time.

PMSL - DH is an engineer too. He LOVES the clothies now.

At first we started with me preparing the nappy for him, him opening the old one (wees only), giving it to me, then fastening with velcro the new one. I'd sort out the nappy bucket and everything else. Then I'd show him how to take a pre-folded nappy and put it in the cover. Then I showed him how to use a fitted one and check the cover actually covered the nappy (by me doing it and dliberately leaving some out, "I'm used to it and it happens so it's not a problem so long as you check.") and finally left him to it - I still have to "help" with the poo nappies because DH won't clean them properly.

Now he's picky. He gets annoyed if there aren't any of his favourite liners around when he's making up a nappy. He prefers to use the stuffable/aio nappies but the night nappy is a bamboo one in three parts. That was the first one he did all by himself because only one parent puts DS to bed (including bath and story), the other gets a sit-down after washing up and putting toys away. He does sometimes ask me for a hand because I've picked and bought all the nappies and there's a bit too much choice, but he can also take a folded nappy and put it in a cover and add a liner, he can use an AI2 system and he can very easily use the pre-stuffed nappies. My main grip is that he puts a flat nappy into a fitted cover, but neither he nor DS mind that and it doesn't leak so I guess I can't complain.

DH finds the ones with velcro are easiest to use & I just prestuff the pockets. He only uses the AIOs/AI2's so he doesnt have to worry about covers
