Titian Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 As far as I can remember terry nappies are a standard size. I used them with my two little darlings (not that long ago) and I bought some "Kooshie" nappy wraps then folded the terry nappies, a little like a sanitary towel shape, and placed them inside with a liner. They lasted me for both my children. I just bought the nappy wraps(plastic pants) in two sizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medusa Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 We used Bambino Mio nappies with niecelet (and everything's plenty good enough to also care for the botty of the new little one too). The velcro fastening nappy wraps were very convenient and did the job admirably, but you do have to be careful about getting the right shape of wrap to fit your baby, from a choice available. They have 2 or 3 sizes of inner, which are multiple layers thick, and these seem to have got softer and more absorbent the more they've been washed. You can buy a 'birth to potty' set but that works out quite expensive if you've already gone through the first 3 months. You can get individual items through a number of catalogues, and covers from places like the baby stuff shop on Shalesmoor though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucy-Lastic Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 My mainstay nappy is a nappy nippaed size 2 Totsbots with Motherease Air Flow/ Air Rika wraps as its an excellent combination for containment. The only reason I wouldnt use this combo is if you only have limited drying facilities. Ive used this combo for both my boys really successfully from about 3 months (possibly earlier as I tend to have biggish babies) and am using the same nappies for son 2 that I did for son 1 (although they are now looking a bit worn).

heartshaped1 Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I agree with LisaH - the Motherease airflow wraps are fantastic, dry really fast and catch even the largest deposits! I use Motherease and Green Baby nappies underneath. I have used Tots Bots in the past but found them more bulky and leaky than the Motherease. As a general comment though, have found using reusables to be no real hassle and only one extra wash every other day, and have saved me a shedload of cash. However, I do tend to put him in disposables at night as I find he wakes up less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylv Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I use the terry nappies my mum used for myself (and my brother and sister)!! Then I also bought some Luxury Ewe Terry nappies for night-time use as they seem to be more absorbant. I find that Terry nappies dry quicker than shaped nappies, although the folding does take a bit of practice. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roslynrosie Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 (Heavily pregnant and i cant sleep), i started using when i 2 years ago when i got a set free from the council, but they were no use no containment, so i started out on my quest (as you do) to find the best nappy out there, in sheffield they are pretty hard to find so i went on the web, and have just started my own company two months ago, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
