Well i can tell you that although $1 is not much, they will not give you an accurate picture of whether you like them or not. I have some Ebay nappies, towelling ones with velcro tops, i still use them occasionally but i call them my crappy nappies and only put them on MJ after a bath or if she is playing around the house... Good on you for the flats, i really couldnt be bothered with them!!! all that folding! also i am not sure if they are as absorbant as some of the others

TBH i would wait for a sale at on of the girls on here and grab a few good quality ones, i know that they are more expensive, but worth it in the long run. If you are looking for something easy - have a look at Bambino Mio's... they are trifolds that you just pop in a cover, i used these when MJ was a baby and they were great, stopped using them as i needed to buy the next size up, but i already had heaps of BBH by that stage.
