Yay DH likes the covers

[hj1981]

We are using Terry Flats but have been using pvc pilchers - at our baby shower we were given a Babybeehind mcn and cover - now we find the actual nappy a bit to confusing more so than the Terry Flats so we are happy to stick with the terry's but DH has said we can get some more covers because he likes them.
My question are:
How many do we need
What sizing should we get
and do we stick with Baby beehinds or get another brand
also do u just use the one cover all day like u would a pvc and than wash it?

Thankyou for ur help and advice in advance

PUL - different 2 PVC, heaps better

use it 4 one nappy wear

when it's time 2 change bubs:
if they only did a wee - air out the cover, and use a fresh cover
(so you're alternating the covers)

if they did a poo
wash the cover

while u have very few decent covers, wash them by hand, PUL dries pretty fast

terries r bulky, make sure cover, covers 100% of yr terry flat.

there are instructions f how to put on a fitted nappy at the baby beehinds website - it's just the naame and
.co.au

Thanks Gigi - i was hoping i could use one all day as would a pvc
and as for it covering 100% of the terri well its not doing that - but i will check out the websites - im thinking since im using terri's anyway i might be better of just sticking with the pvc!

The baby beehind covers are good but I think there are far better ones out there, as far as PUL covers go I like Thirsties they are brilliant, Bummis are good too. They both cover nappies really well. I love to use a wool cover though personally because it breathes the best. I get my mum to knit me wool soakers. PVC covers don't breathe very well so it might be worth looking into a few other cover options. Hope that helps.

PVC is really not a good cover. It's good for those who are on a tight budget and can't afford PUL or wool covers, but they aren't good because they don't breath.
What about the BBH did you find hard/confusing?
They have great pictures showing how to use them, which I found great. I actually find MCN so much easier than flats! No folding or snappying or pinning and such better containment!

Thirsties are FANTASTIC and I generally use them for all day with no problems unless they're dirty... Bummis are good too. I like the gussets (sp?) which was our huge issue with PVC.
