I bought a couple of Real Nappies at the P & C Show ($5 trial nappies! BARGIN! ) and was just wondering if anyone else used them on their toddlers?

I also bought an Ecobots trial ($10 trial - still a prefold and a wrap) and she said their cotton prefolds are the best for heavy wetters. I have all fingers and toes crossed that they are as good as she says.

i still put toby in a snappied prefold sometimes. they were my fave for round home last year with just a t shirt and no cover too, not sure abut why they would be best for heavy wetters tho, mind you i think ecobots are unbleached and they do have more layers in them...so yeah she could be right about that too. they make great pocket stuffers too.

She might have just been laying on the old sales pitch to me lol

I actually bought them to use the prefold as an extra insert but for $5 I'll have the rest of the nappy too to have a play with

no i think unbleached prefolds are more absorbent... couldnt see info on the ecobots site but i know snazzipants unbleached prefolds are 8 layers thru the middle as opposed to 6 for the other prefolds...

a prefold is all i put in my pockets...last for ages too. so she may have been referring to the absorbency when used in a pocket.

I use real nappies on Jake sometimes, I don't even use pins.snappi, etc, just folded in three like a liner and it s all good. I use cloth flats or terry flats, though as I find my prefold too bulky. THats just me, though. Good buying!!!

I use them on a toddler. We don't pin or snappi either - just pad fold them. I find them fairly reliable. I got one of those $5 packs too - so cheap!!!
