Ok so can someone please fill me in on what you recommend is the BEST and EASIEST mcn to use. That would depend upon the situation. I personally find fitteds (i.e. BBH Bamboo) to be a good failsafe nappy for going out and he might be in it a while and for night time. Fitteds need covers as they don't have a built in waterproofing layer and can have a tendency to be a bit bulky in comparison to other types of MCN's You usually have to go up a clothing size when using them. For night time, it is best to use a fleece or wool cover, rather than a PUl, as they breath better.

When outter fashion (i.e. clothing) is the main priority I'll go for an Itti Bitti SIO or Tutto, as they are a nice trim nappy that looks nice under clothing, but I do find I have to change this brand/type more often (every 2 hours) to avoid leaks.

When the nappy itself is the fashion statement, I'll go for an issy bear print. These are my "pretties" but there are other types out there like Goochi baby, WiddleWuns etc that are much fancier with cute embroideries that are just too gorgeous to hide under clothes.

Also how do you wash them? what do you use? I use a tablespoon of just plain bicarb soda and 1/3 cup of powdered washing soda as my washing powder and I use a couple of drops of Tea Tree Oil diluted in water in the fabric softener dispenser. Don't soak. Don't use bleachers. Rinse off than dry pail until wash time. Don't leave for any longer than 2-3 days before washing.
