Tester List

[~Raven~]

As you are aware any posts made on BellyBelly that we believe to be market research are removed.

Due to a few members getting creative and requesting testers for their ideas lately, we have decided to help out and create a place where testers can meet with makers.
This thread is a trial and we reserve the right to remove it at any time if we feel that the guidelines are not being met.

Cloth Nappies, Covers, Breast Pads, Training Pants & Cloth Menstrual Pads are all items that members can offer to test.


The system will work like this:

For those offering to be Testers,
Members who want to offer to be a tester must have a minimum post count of 50 posts.
Please post in this thread with the date of birth (month and year) of your bub and any comments on his/her build where appropriate. Please be aware that nappy makers may contact you for specifics at the time they are looking for testers.

You must give honest feedback where requested by the maker.


For those offering items to be tested,
Please contact the suitable member who has offered to be a tester by either PM or email not on the forum.
No money is to be involved. The person who wants their item tested is to gift it to the tester, including postage.

And for both Testers and Makers,
All feedback whether it be positive or negative is to be kept strictly OFF the forum.

Also please remember to keep all communication about the items off the forum. This includes announcing the arrival of "Fluffy Mail" in the General Chatter threads and all tester nappies for "What's On His/Her Bum" must be described simply as "Tester Nappy" with no mention of maker, until such time as the product is for sale.

We have an amazing bunch of talented ladies here and I hope that this is a step forward to helping eachother out. I’d love to see more of you make a success in the nappy world

Any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me by PM or email raven@bellybelly.com.au

River, born September 2006
Gonna weigh him later, but he's a bit of a trucker.
Definitely a size Large.

Silas, born March 2008
Will weigh him later today, but he's average for almost 8 months.
In that stage where he fits some smalls and some mediums...moving towards mediums.

Have used cloth for both kids from birth, and have tried a large range of accessories and nappies, familiar with every type (prefold/flats, pockets, AIO's, fitteds & covers, night nappies, cloth wipes, liners, boosters, breastpads).

[Trish]

Can I go down for a newborn, even though she's not here yet ???

Expecting her to be around 8pounds or 3.7kgs. If she's anything like her siblings.

Due mid December.

-products that close with snappis, snaps and aplix, high tech hooknloop 2000,

-products made of hemp, bamboo, malden mills fleece, microfleece, sherpa,
birdseye, PUL, procare.

can email photos of fit and documentation of test wears. If you have a criteria list that you would like answered, that's fine with me.

Me
happy to test mama pads, particularly the longer ones.
Have tried a number of brands, mainly AIO's, but enough to compare
WOn't provide photos for this one! but can tell you what i think of the test wears.

Glad to be part of helping WAHM's get their product out there in the marketplace, anything to help MCN advocacy - i'm there!
