New Fuzzi Bunz website

ooohhhhh..... thanking you!

And you already know I'm all signed up! WOHOO for Fuzzi's!!!

Roksana - scroll through the products section...they have package information including design your own packages. Page 2 of products I think it was.

Where did you get yours from Toni?

I ordered mine through Aimee - she was REALLY REALLY helpful and answered all of our questions before we ordered so I thought it was only fair that she got some commission (she even passed on a saving for us )

Gee, thanks Toni. You ARE great advertising!!

To be quite honest I am having heaps of trouble actually selling any nappies here in Dannevirke - there are LOTS of babies here too! I have been doing displays at antenatal class, postnatal morning tea at the hospital, plunket groups, coffee groups etc but it is so hard to change peoples misguided ideas on cloth nappies. I think they all think I'm making up what I say - never changing wet beds or clothes in the night, washing is no big problem etc. Even the money back guarantee trial nappies and the thousands of dollars they will save is not a big enough incentive... Anyone got any brilliant ideas?

I think also offering people anecdotes where there are a few failures, but failures that can be overcome is also a good way to get people to believe in you. As I've said before, I have had trouble with washables leaking, but found that it was powder build up in the first instance, and then that I just couldn't deal with them overnight. I still use fuzzis and am very happy with them. Would still do it over again as well.

Or/and - all you can do is get yourself out there and spread the word to start with. Trying to preach to the skeptics is very very hard. Then you can start organising evenings where people choose to come and learn more about them - much more receptive to the idea of washables!!! Keep on your quest Aimee. Get them discussing the washable option.

Ok I have questions Aimee

1) How many do I need to buy? How many do you go thru a day with Hannah?

2) I am not afraid of washing but do they leak?

3) What are booster liners? are they for night time use?

4) so you wash the liner and the nappy and you can re-use both? do I need to buy extra liners?

Ok thats all I can think of now!

Argh! I jsut typed a big reply then my computer jammed up.

1. I usually use 4 nappies during the day, plus one overnight. Depends how many times you normally change and how often you want to wash.

2. Whatever you use is going to leak at some stage, but it happens far less with FB. I had a few leaks at the start but that was because I hadnt done them up tight enough or didnt put enough inserts in. Another reason they can leak is if you get a build up of wshing powder on the fleece, basically makes it waterproof and wees just runs off it, but thats easy to fix with a hot wash and some baking soda!

3. FB are a pocket nappy - the nappy itself is made of an inner stay dry fleece layer and a waterproof outer. These make a pocket opening at the back where you stuff microfibre inserts, which are the absorbant part. You dont need to use liners as that is effectively what the inner fleece layer is.

There are 2 types of insert - a 3-layer insert, and a 2-layer booster. THis means you can use various combinations to get the right absorbancy without heaps of bulk.

During the day, I use 1 insert and 1 booster, overnight either 3 inserts or 2 inserts and a booster.

4. Yes, you wash and re-use both the inserts and the nappy each change. For use on an older baby (not a newborn) full-time, and washing daily I recommend getting:
- 6 nappies
- 7 inserts
- 6 boosters

So for every nappy you have an insert and a booster, plus an extra insert for overnight.

Hope that helps Roksana

Buy one at a time? That's kinda what I did.
Even using two per days saves you money...

At the moment I've only got inserts in mine so do I need the doubler in there also??
