Cloth Nappies

Well we almost exclusively use fuzzi bunz and find them fabulous!

Which part of NZ are you in?

And... btw... waaaay too many cute options to even consider doing plain flats.

But they are still handy for everything else (and can be used with modern cloth)

We use Fuzzis, but when Krystiana comes along I am planning to wait until she can fit size mediums before going onto cloth - just because I don't think the small Fuzzis are that economic (they have different size inserts from all the other sizes).

Definitely go somewhere you can see them. It's a good idea to view a couple of different types before deciding. (If you host Nikki as a Fuzzis agent - like a Tupperware party - I think she could get you a free one too )

I was looking at fuzzis but I dont like their sizings and how I have to buy different for each age, mainly cause I cant predict how heavy bubs will be.
Haleigh never fitted newborn naps frombirth
I will def take a look Nikki, we are just trying to find a cheaper option as these disposables are far too expensive.

why dont you have a looksie too Kaz, esp if your trying for number 2

cool.
Well once you all sorted we'll all meet up if you like & maybe all do a lunch and have a looksie.

I'm using the good old cloth flats too, but have recently been converted to fancy overnaps (thanks Gsmum ) which are apparently now called covers of wraps. But am loving how much drier they keep the girls, and they are relatively inexpensive compared to fitted cloth. 3 dozen flats cost me $90, plus 6 overnaps (3 for each baby) were $60 and are sz medium which will do them till they are 10kg which is around 1 year old at least (or maybe not if they keep growing as fast as they are )

hehe oooo nappy party sounds fun Kaz

lol, yeah I would've said yes to that a few months ago

Mmmm I haven't actually seen the overnaps at the Baby Factory (avoid it like the plague!) but I'd say they are fairly useable. I've heard of a few that people rave about, but unsure if the Baby Factory ones are included as I don't know what brand they are! But I know Emma bought some from BabyOnline.co.nz and she has found them quite good.

But the overnaps in comparison to fuzzis are a little bit of a different story: fuzzibunz are a pocket system. Which contain a waterproof outer, a stay-dry inner, and you add the absorbant stuffing in the middle, using what ever you wish: a folded up flat nappy or prefold, a microfibre insert, a hemp insert, a microfibre/hemp insert, a hemp/burley knit terry insert etc etc

Apparently using a cover over a fitted (or prefold - correct me if I'm wrong Deb!) is one of the most leakproof systems around.

But weighed against the simplicity of fuzzis, who comes out on top is really up to the user!

Edited so that I don't sound like an idiot - probably didn't work .
