    thenappylady would be a good place to start

    tots bots are made in scotland

    i think kittykins is another uk clothie site

    there are heaps of cloth nappies made in the uk, i am really surprised you are asking for info on a site where our info will not meet up with what you can get where you are.

    i am hoping there will be equivalents in the uk of diaperdecisions, ozclothnappies etc for you to go to, join their forums and ask questions.

    there are clothie websites that are there to make money, so of course they will just say, buy our stuff, we are the best
    there are clothie websites that are there for advocacy and reviews and forums - they will have different points of view from users
    Make sure you read the Frequently Asked Questions and read up about the different fabrics used, even if you don't sew, knowing about the diff. fabrics helps you wash them correctly, and be aware of what you are buying - different fabrics have different properties.

    i spent eight months researching it myself. I could tell you wot i worked out in the end, but am worried it wouldn't help you much when i would be talking about Australian products that you wouldn't easily be able to buy in the UK, so i really think it would be better for you to google stuff in the UK so you don't get frustrated.

    best of luck, but there is no substitute for getting in there, goggling, and joining local forums so you can attend Nappycinos, see other people's stashes, visit clothie shops, and make up your own mind.
