    Posted: 03 June 2010 at 3:36pm
Hi there,
I'm wondering how many cloth nappies to buy for full-time cloth nappying in medium size?
I had 20 Fuzzi Bunz for size small but I know they use less when bigger??
Is 18 excessive? 12 too few?
Opinions appreciated!

I've got 15 itti bittis and they're a mix of SIO and AIOs so I've also got an extra 5 SIO inners. That seems to work well for me, though occassionally when we've had lots of changes and crappy weather I've run out - but just stick a few in the dryer to finish them off.

Really depends how often you are washing. Fuzzis dry way quicker than ittis. The more you have the less often you have to wash.

I wash everyday and had 9 ittis, just recently bought 3 more so I should only need to put them in the wash every second day. I also have 2 peapods and 2 yoyos. I've never run out yet

we have about 30 nappies but only cause Im having trouble washing and drying them with the rain etc. maybe if you had a dryer then you could get away with 12 or so, if not maybe a few more to allow for drying time etc (kwim?)

We recommend 24 Nappies This allows you to wash them every second day. The honeychild nappies dry very quickly but you can add more if required or you buy part systems, it just depends on what works for you

I have 12. I just wash them at night then put them on the clothes horse under the heat pump to dry over night. We use about 6-7 a day so always have a few to spare if they don't dry in time.
