Has anyone used my baby OSFA off trademe?

I had one, it was ok. Lasted 2 hrs max with their standard inserts though. I'm not going to recomened them. If you want a good investment you need to pay the dollars. As you get what you pay for. 

I used flat traditional flat cloth nappies and fluffies/covers with my first and then i discovered all the other pockets, fitteds.....and got rid of the flats. He's in cloth full time.

I'm going to use prefolds on this baby. I haven't used them before but hear fantastic stories. For 1 I have 24 bummis organic prefolds and 6 wraps. Then I have a few fuzzibuns and honey child pockets for it as well. Mostly for night times and til it fits the next size or whatever. 

I have a friend who's about to have her 5th baby and has got the real nappies birth to potty kit. She has 2 of them still in nappies with this one on the way will be 3. I think she does spozies when out and for nights though.

My cousin has had the same experience if they're the knock off Bum Genius type ones I'm thinking of. I bought the proper ones, she bought the trademe ones. Hers only lasted for one kid as the gussets gave way a bit and she had to buy a lot more inserts. Mine are still in perfect condition. I would recommend going for Bum Genius over a homemade style, but that's just me.

I have some, They were great when DD was littler and wasn't wetting heavily. I have to use them now with their big insert plus a hemp/bamboo one and find that will go for 3 hours. They aren't bad but not my first choice.

I had one nappy have the elastic go on the back of the PUL and they seemed to be fine with me sending it back (although I haven't heard anything since but it was late last week that I sent it) they do have reasonable guarentees. I am going to use them as back up nappies once I have more of the ones I really want. Plus use them as daycare nappies.

If I was to do all over again I would spend more $$ I have some coloured ones that I am about to put on trade me so that I can get some tot bots nappies. They have been used a couple of times but I didn't like the colours on DD.

Ive got these, but haven't used them yet. my friend recommended them to me, she has a 15 month old and a 3 month old and have only had the odd leak cause they weren't done up tight enough

I'm also using them this time around, and started when bubz was 2 weeks and think they are pretty good. Contain the BF poo explosions well and last up to 8 hours at night (will have to start adding the second insert soon though).

jacobsmummy - it depends on how much of a wetter your baby is - my girl pees a LOT, I have to use a minimum of two inserts (One large mybaby insert, and a hemp insert) in her mybaby nappies.
