Cheaper nappies.

I agree!

I would prefer cheaper also.

Definitley cheaper

i wasn't aware of the honeychild nappy offer, just the fuzzi one. for reference, i'd rather have cheaper nappy packs than free nappies

as for price, the most i've paid for a nz made nappy is $27 with an insert so i wouldn't pay anymore than that

Either offer would sway me I think. I think FB are over-priced and a fair price would be $20 ex insert or $25 incl insert.

The most I'd spend on a pocket nappy (with insert) now is $27 simply because there are so many brands out there now and why pay more when something cheaper does the exact same job just as well and I'm finding the cheaper ones do better than my more expensive ones.

I'm not going to go there with how much I'd pay for a nappy, coz I own far too many nappies that have cost in excess of $30 and just ordered two more Bubblebubs at $34-odd each so I'm not a good test case, I'm hopeless.

But I do think that the new HC nappies are pricing themselves out of the general market. If you're trying to get people to use them as a complete system then it works out a lot more expensive than some of the cheaper local options (eg. Tweedle). I know they are supposedly better quality (I only say supposedly coz I haven't tried them so can't compare) than some of the cheaper ones, but I know for a lot of people at the end of the day, a nappy is a nappy and as long as it doesn't leak they're going to go with the cheaper one.

Can't wait to try the HC nappies tho, I ordered scrummy Tangerine ones...

I know I wouldn't pay anymore than $30 dollars for a nappy.

I think cheaper nappy packs would be more tempting than a free nappy.

I took think HCs are a bit on the expensive side for an NZ made nappy, but HCs are made in a factory with over heads so they will never be as cheap as a WAHM making them in her "spare time" and probably not even paying taxes so WAHM nappies are always going to be cheaper.

Just as a side issue with quality Vs Price. I just recently bought a Bug print FB from GandT who used that on both her boys for probably 12mths+ (feel free to correct me Debs)and it's still in good condition and keeps Caitlin just as dry as her newer FBs, I think that is awesome value for money

I am actually feeling a little offended by this comment

My sister in law runs a business from home and it is far from 'spare time' work - just different hours to what 'people who go to work' do. I think anyone who runs a proper business would be paying tax if they are going about it the right way so I think that was a little off to make a comment like that (just my TCW). Factory produced products should be cheaper or at least cost next to nothing to produce.
