why do u need covers for MCN's?

[[M]umma[M]ia]

Fleece is more breathable than PUL. Wool is absorbant. Haven't used either myself yet though.
Fitted...is kinda just a usual MCN without the waterproof layer.

thankyou

so u need covers for fitted nappies and ones that arnt water proof as such. Covers add more.. "security" to the nappy (is that the word im looking for?). and saves 6-7 clothes changes a day.

ok.. another quick question... canu resuse the cover if its not wet or damp??? like say they use a cover for a whole day????

Ive reused PUL covers a couple of times, as long as they arent dirty.

Yeah. I think PUL is ok, but should be aired out? So use one, use another one, then use the first again.

Remember the PVC pilchers?? PUL does the same job, but is breathable. Alot better for bub's skin.

Just wanted to add, I use my PUL covers for a whole day (and night) unless there is poo on it. I just air it out while changing DD.

I use BabyBehinds fitted bamboo and then the MotherEase Rikki PUL cover. It is the best combination I have found. Never a leak! BUT its pretty bulky!

MM, if you are looking for the cloth alternative to a sposie (which is what i was), then i found pocket nappies to be the best, just put on like a regular sposie, no worries. I bought fitted nappies and TBH, they are bulky and i cant be bothered putting a cover on, to me its like putting on 2 nappys at once KWIM?.
But fitted do tend to offer a better seal around the legs and with a cover last longer than pockets or AI1/2s.
My kid generally poops once a day and its rarely really ugly so pockets work for us and they are the easiest to get your head around (and DH's and daycare/grandma ect....)
Having said all of this, I am assuming you are buying for Mia, not a n/b, that would be a whole different story......

MLM - thanks for replying Yeah ive too thought about fitted nappies, being like putting a nappy on tiwce. I dont know if Mia will lay still that long!! Mia is sorta my test run, just looking into it all so when i have next bub im mighty prepared.

It's no big deal using a fitted and a cover! No more that putting on a nappy and then a pair of pants over the top IYKWIM Don't over analyze the time it may take you to use them because realistically it's only a couple of seconds.
