pea pods???

i bought 2 of these today they arnt bamboo ones will get them if i find these any good, i have only just realised that i bought the wrong size i was gonna get small but preggy brain took over, which is proberbly just as well as i can test them on my 2yr old. just want to know what others have thought of these only got them coz they were $15 and i dont really want to pay $30 ea which is how much ones i prefer are(bumgenius) i havent tried any others my sil has tried a few but i cant remember what they were.

oh ok just as well i only bought 2 are their any other brands that arnt that great, like i said i do prefer bumgenius just at $33ea my other option is just to use the old style cloth.
what about kushies i see these sell for ok price on trademe but are they any good

We use them as part of a mixed stash and find them fine as a daytime nappy!
The rise is a little bit low and they are quite slim through the crotch but those are the only negatives I have about them.
They never leak unless I've left them on too long and are very good at containing poo.
I use them with the PP trifold insert and either BKT, microfibre, or hemp insert and all work well.
Not my favourites but definitely a good, middle of the road nappy.

I find kushies horrible. Don't bother.

There are quite a few simple NZ made pockets that are cheap - Wigglebums, Tweedles, Baby Harmony (Cheap still?), Joel-Eze to name a few

I never had any probs with the hemp Peapods we had for the gremlins, I had 10 of them at one stage. Have bought a bamboo one to try for baby but obviously haven't tried it yet. I was tempted to get a couple of the hemp ones when I saw them in the Baby Factory for $15 the other day tho.

Apparently the bamboo pea pods are meant to be pretty good.

I have the Joel ezes for $28 plus insert $6

Bebops are $29 including insert - these are one of the cheaper nappies available.

i've never heard of bebops...might have to be nosey

joel-eze have gone up abit then.....

baby harmony are still my fave nappy...oh and drybees, love those!

Bumgenius might be twice the price but they are a one-size nappy so you would get more wear out of them than a Pea Pod. The new V3s are supposed to be excellent and even come with an extra newborn insert for when using on the tiny setting. I have a few of the Cotton Babies inserts that come with a BG and they're really absorbent. I also read the results of an absorbency test on a US website and Cotton Babies one-size inserts come out top for microfibre.

You could also consider that if you go for something like a Fuzzi Bunz ($29 incl insert) you can resell them and get good money back as everyone knows the brand and they seem popular on TM. I sold my mediums and got over 75% back!

I second what Rach said about the Baby Harmony seconds, she sells them ridiculously cheap, the gremlins have one each and I bought 3 for baby and you can't tell what the fault in them is.
