Please excuse my lack of knowledge as I've only used pockets and AIO. I'm just wondering why you would need/want anything other than a plain fitted if you have to put a cover on it anyway? Why do so many brands offer such cute prints etc., on their fitteds?
i asked this a while ago of one of the Qld ladies - to get the answer that, in the heat up there, often a fitted is enough as the kidlets run around in next to nothing.:
won't be something i'll be getting down here though - i'll be needing a cover for sure!
I dunno... I guess to me I like funky things & it doesn't matter where it is ;)
I am constantly asking this when I find a really pretty nappy only to discoved that it is a fitted nappy, not a AIO :(
I don't get it either and have never spent money on them - don't see the point when they'll be covered anyway :dunno:
Yeah I mainly cover mine - even though I live in Queensland - but I guess it would be fine if your child wasn't a big wetter - and you could let them run around for a few hours - and then change when you notice it?
DS out pees everything without a cover - within half an hour - so I rarely leave him without one.
She's not a huge wetter so when she gets bigger, I *may* consider showing off the nice fitted with the dinosaur on the bum ;)
cos you are a pathetic MCn addict like me :) thats why!!!!!
Same reason people buy pretty undies? That's a guess, 'cause I don't have many pretty undies and I have no fitteds pretty or otherwise.
why would you buy nice undies and not those biege granny nickers?
Even here in Tassie if the day is nice enough I will let Ash wear his 'pretty fitteds' (usually his holden nappy or mirabai) and just change if it gets damp on the outside :)
Ok, ta everyone. I didn't realise you could use them without a cover. I was thinking of using some Bitti Boos if No.2 ever comes along and it seemed such a waste to cover them up.
I very rarely cover Charlottes fitteds. Mostly she has grown out of them now, but even at they hight of use I only had, and still only have 4 Maz covers and I TB PUL cover and 2 fleece covers...For about 35 fitteds (and I wash both most of the time)
But I just found that if we werent going out anywhere there was no need to cover them.
She rarely wears pants here in Perth anyway, it is way too hot! So yeah, I see a lot of value in pretty fitted!
I just dont own many because they arent the most cost effective for us - we are AIOs (AI2s) all the way here :)
I love the look of a big stack of different coloured fitteds on the shelf. My plain ones (flats and prefolds) live in the nappy stacker in the wardrobe but the colourful ones are all out on display.
I have an extreme heavy wetter!!! So it's fitted's for me all the way. On a warm day I never put a cover on DS's fitted's and if it's cold and I'm putting some pants on him then i'll put a soaker over the top. So that is why fitted's need to be so pretty, and also why not!
