    Leash, side snapping ones seem to be good for chubby thighed bubs, I don't really have a lot of experience with them obviously - you've seen my kids!! lol

    But I do have some sidesnapping ones in my stash, and I'm more than happy to bring some down so you can try them on Jazz and you know what the fit is like before you go a-spending

    Leasha have you tried some Honeyboys? I can send you a home made jobby (as long as you don't laugh ) and if you think the fit is OK then stalk buyforbaby for more of them!

    They are a tad bulky though they were such a good fit for C-dude and he was built like a tank at that age!

    Blueberry pockets are great for a OSFM. Itti bittis are deceivingly good for big thighed bubbas too. I'd go the large ones. C has had 2 years of wear out of his ittis!

    Mel, that would be great, are you heading this way any time soon? Don't want you to be out of your way!! Wish I had put my foot down before Tuesday LOL!

    Sam, I've never heard of Honeyboys lol, but did a google and they look good! I'd love to try one on her (I promise not to laugh )! Are they very bulky?

    Leash - yeah I could come down early next week before I pack all the nappies away and start using disposables

    Plus DH wants us out of the house so it will be nice not to be sitting on the edge of the road with the kids.

    I did have some honeyboys - they were wayyy the wrong shape for my kids, so you might have success there. I just donated them to someone else unfortunately! otherwise you could have had them!!!!

    They are a tad on the bulky side compared with others but I could live with that for the fit we got PM me your address and I'll post the up to you!

    Will do Sam

    Mel - Well Shel has Sun-Mon-Tues-Wed off, so she can see too But we are going to Pink Tuesday night yaahoo! so Monday or early Tuesday would be best I reckon.


    Ooooo I'm getting excited now, another gorgeous lady is sending up some for us to trial too YAY! If Shel see's them and how good they are she'll definitely want to buy LOTS (in theory lol)!

    Itti bittis are a nice compact nappy. You could get a fitted one and just use one of your covers. And a side-snapping nappy we like here is the bubba J pocket - it's fairly inexpensive too from memory... It's also pretty compact. We also like blueberries. Natty has pretty skinny legs though, so not sure if what we like would be what you would like, KWIM? FWIW, I think berry plush are pretty but I don't like the fit of them on my kid either. (I haven't tried cloth on Phoebe yet! I've been way slack.)
    The other naps I really like are bubblebubs AIOs.
    I think it's probably going to be trial and error though - no one can guess what's going to fit your bub best.

    Thanks Amy

    Have got a really nice range coming to trial (thanks again everyone who is lending me some of their stash ) so hopefully we find a few that fit well.
