    thats ok - there are so many terms thrown around - easy to get confused.

    I love my Baby beehinds OSFM fitteds. I use them on both kids, plus I use motherease covers, which have a great size range, so I get more use out of them.

    I don't particularly like the baby beehinds AIO's though - for some reason they always leaked on us.

    I like the BBH OSFA a lot and I wish I had more of them! I like the bamboo more than the hemp cos the hemp tends to feel very rough (or maybe it is just the way I wash it!) whereas the bamboo feels softer. They are really not that hard and if you put the boosters in when they have been washed it is even easier! It only takes a couple of seconds to pop the cover on. The only thing is they are snaps and not velcro so that takes a bit longer to do them up. Maybe get a few AIO for DF and the rest can be OSFA? I presume you will be doing most of the nappy changes anyway? OSFA is cheaper too cos they can do one baby the whole way rather than needing to buy sized options.

    Yeah mostly its me.

    I really like the look of the BBH OSFA. I was gonna talk DF into getting a handful to try. Im sure he will figure it out quickly enough, if not I might look at getting him some AIO's to make it easier for him.

    So I can use different brands of covers over the BBH ones? cause Ive seen some really funky looking covers that werent BBH.

    Also - sort of relevant.. The little squirt, is it easy enough to install? And can I uninstall and move it to a different house?

    (You guys are being awesome helpful, thanks so much.)

    Little squirt is super easy to install and to move houses, so thats not a problem.

    You can use any cover over the BBH's (btw, bamboo is my fav too cos so much softer!) I use over mine, mazalicious covers, mother-ease covers and things like longies, shorties, soakers etc.
    ETA - I don't particularly like the BBH covers because they left red marks on my kids legs? I think they reacted with the way that the elastic is done - not sure.

    Yay. The Mazalicious covers are so adorable. The little minkee ones make me think I'd sit there and stroke them, cause they look so soft!

    Kam there are some AI2 OSFA nappies around. Most of mine are (sorry I cant say too much but the info is in the MPM section)

    My DH was all for simple when we started. He now knows how to put the nappies together, and will even hunt out the matching boosters and he puts them in the machine when the bucket is full. For me when it was a case of being simple, I just had to have it all ready for him to just grab one and put it on. Didn't matter how much I had to do to get it ready, as long as it was ready when he needed it. I still do that now because it makes it easier for me, and it makes it easy when we have a babysitter, but I know that DH can do it if he needs to.

    Ooh. Thanks Alioops.

    I looked at the Cushie Tushies through your link, I assume thats what you meant.
    I showed them to DF too, (He's home for lunch ) He even said they looked good.
    Its a good sign right?! I think he'd get the hang of it quickly anyway, hes just a bit uncertain of himself. He says I make things look easy when they arn't.

    The couture ones look really cute. Why can I see myself buying alot of those?
