there are some threads here all about reusable ones...wil try and bump for you. As for me, I wouldn't use cloth for ages - just felt like it would take up too much of my time, and the neat ones are really expensive. Then Aimee showed me the Fuzzibunz site which offers a partial payment plan over three months and I worked out that with each payment, i was only atucally paying the same amount I would for disposbales. So we use fuzzis and they are brilliant. Am also trying one for Jake (thanks to Nikki) and it is really great. So am planing to get a new set in the next month or so, the next size up. Also resale value is great - although we will probably just LEND to our sister in law for her little one due March.

you can also get hire kits to help you decide what you like and what suits you and bub - and some other nappy places do payment plans too - i think nap naps do (they are a fitted nappy) their site is here

also snazzipants have lots of diff packs made up so that you get to trial diff types and their prices are very reasonable - they are   over here

and many diff places do trial packs - incl fuzzibunz - at a discounted price and some with a money back offer too.

it def pays to look around.

I have recently started using fuzzis on my 1 yr old. I just bought a six pack for starters and as finances allow I plan to buy another 6 or 12 pack. In the meantime, it's lots of washing & drying but I'm still saving.

If your baby is average weight, she may be able to fit into medium Fuzzis from 3 months old. It may pay to look at that and start when the mediums fit... if that is going to be soon.

Jess, Hannah fitted mediums from 2 months and still fits them now (11 months) with more room to grow. So we have had 9 months (so far) from 6 nappies which cost about $200, so just over $20 a month - saves so much money

Toni, I think Hannah would have fitted the smalls for longer, but she also fitted the mediums...

Where do I find info on these fuzzibunz things. I have always been a disposable person but I am beginning to think maybe something else would be a better option??

Fuzzi's are very cool! They were the favourites of all we looked at (we investigated my friends huge cloth stash!). All our fuzzi's are stuffed and lined up ready to go under the change table!

It really is insane how excited you can get over cloth nappies!

i'm also excited about using cloth nappies
we have booked a trial kit from the nappacino i went to which has the different types to try. i'm still to decide on which brand to use, cost is the deciding factor
but i was wondering......
a) has anyone used the 'one size' nappies and what did they think
b) should i wait until bubs is a little older before i use cloth or are they ok on a newborn?

thanks ladies

They are fine on a newborn (well from what I understand) though B and I are planning on using disposables for the first couple of weeks while we settle into being new parents etc. Then we will graduate over to cloth full time.

Vanessa, I used cloth from newborn - real easy cos you are doing so much washing anyway. I did try one-size nappies but found they never fit perfectly - way too big on newborn, then just not quite right... But theres only one way to find out and thats to try them

Paws - that was Daniel and my plan to start with disposables and then go to cloth however we are still in disposables. Mainly because they are just so easy!!!

I think i will look into these Fuzzis as well. They sound really good.

Vanessa - I've heard pretty good things about the 'Mommy's Touch' one size nappy... (altho it appears fairly complicated on the smallest size - just a bit of practise required) but I have never seen them in action so I can't say from experience.

Well we have limited stock of disposables and have the cloth all ready to go so *hopefully* we will do the change over. Especially if I remind myself of how much we spent on fuzzis (and ignore their amazing resale value!).

I do have a one size cloth nappy though to be honest I'm not sure I'm convinced on it...it seems like it will be very bulky on the smallest setting so I might just save it until Maddie is older as a back up nappy.

Something I would like to know is where to get flushable liners...anyone know?
