    Nappy Results in from Choice

    Late last year i took part in a disposable nappy trial . The trial took 15 days...the results are on the choice website (under reviews and tests). I found it quite interesting to look over the results.
    5 women were picked (separate to the sposie study) to test MCN....their results are online too.

    Mods feel free to move.....

    I had a read, very interesting. Nice to see MCNs getting some publicity. Thanks for posting.

    Interesting just had a quick read. Only 5 types of cloth nappies tho...Ooh there are so many more good on them for at least trying I guess it was more the trial of sposies.

    Some of the comments about the cloth nappies made me giggle. A few golden rules of MCN care broken there

    So am I reading it right that for the cloth nappies - the Pea Pods were rated top? Is good to see MCN's included but seems a bit odd to choose ones that are all different styles so you can't really compare e.g. one pocket, one AIO, one SIO, one fitted with cover etc. I do have some pea pods but they are my least favourite pocket.

    I did that once.. it was a new 'formula' nappy trial. The old type of one, the new type of one and two other different brands... One of the manufacturers nappy types gave harry the worst ever nappy rash and it took a couple of weeks to clear it up again. At that point we decided not to do anything like that again, as you could imagine.

    How interesting!
    I used PP with DS and loved them, but didn't love how some woudl randomly have the PUL lining separate from teh cloth. Hoping to not even need the ones I have in M for DD by the time she's that size, cos elimination communication is clearly the bees knees for us and dealing with smeary bums is such a rare occurrence that I'm quite spoiled and used to it!
    Anyhow, PP's seem to be a good intro for many people into the world of MCN

    hmmm interesting, but not really surprising. I was shocked to see the Coles brand nappy cost as much as the Huggies though.

    Did those women using cloth really use it prior to the trial I wonder? Certainly didn't sound like it....and they couldn't have picked worse MCNs to trial lol.
