    Rainbow BB nappies, off EBay?

    Hi all,
    Anyone know anything about these? they are sold through an EBay store, and you can buy bulk lots of them cheaply (12 for under $100, including postage.) Has anyone used them before?

    TIA

    i've seen them on ebay but have been too scared to use them!

    maybe buy one or two to make sure they arent cheap and nasty before paying $100

    i finally got my nappy. Took forever because i forgot to specify a colour, then dh changed his bleeping EBay password and didn't check his messages. so i ended up with an orange one

    It doesn't look too bad, I washed it today and will give it a trial runtomorrow. the stitching, snaps, elastic, etc all look to be really good quality, aqnd the cut of them looks like it wil fit very nicely.

    The only thing that's worrying me is it's made of polyester....? That's a bad thing, right? (Just the outer, obviously, the lining is microfleece).

    There not too bad close up... but I'm discounting slightly for that fact that it's orange and I haven't been exposed to too many super lush fluffy ones yet so I don't know the difference I'd say they are the same kind of quality as the pea pods (I know, they've got a bed rep, but I like 'em). No good for resale, probably, but functional.

    Well, I've used and washed it twice now, and the verdict is- pretty good, for the price. We had one massive poo and no leakage. It's very absorent, the elastic is nice and snug. My only complaint would be that it seems to be a bit 'bottom heavy' and slides down a bit around her belly, ifykwim, but I've found that the Haute Pocket i've got does that as well, so maybe it's just a OSFM thing on dd.

    Anyway, I just thought I'd update in case anyone was interested. Not a bad nappy for the price you pay, especially if you buy them in bulk lots

    I have 12 of these nappies and will only use them for day time as they say they are waterproof but arent. the boosters are a pain in the butt to get in and with out one there isnt much there to soak up the urine.

    If i could get a refund i would. and dont recommed these at all.
    There is another lady in Yea, Vic who makes her own nappies. these ones are wonderful I think you can get 6 for about $70 a little more expensive but are much better then the rainbow ones.

    Hope this helps

    The Yea (e-bay) ones still need a cover. I would rather use flats than those ones. They have extra layers so take longer to dry than flats, but without much advantage in absorbency.
