I have just bought one of the white one-size pocket nappies off trade me, the ones that look just like a Bumgenius, and just wondered if anyone else has used them? They seem great so far and fit well. I just wondered how well they'll last as they seem too good to be true at such a great price & with a hemp insert too!

Hey,
I too have one of them. I have 10 Bumgenius' as well and i bought extra bumgenius inserts of a lady on trade me and use that in my knock off BG and its EXACTLY the same and half the price. It lasts all night with my daughter and i wish i had found them before i paid $33 each for my bumgenius. ------------- ~ Mummy to a beautiful girl ~ |

Yep, I've got 2 and am highly impressed, well worth the $30 plus inserts. Do you just use that insert for all night, Kandice?? ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Na i havent tried the popper version.
I use my BumGenius insert in it all night shell, and i just use the hemp one in my fuzzibun with the fuzzi insert. Theres a lady on trade me her username is fuzzimum and she sells cottenbabies inserts for $5 each. They are the inserts that come with bumgenius. To be honest i think its the mothersinstinct lady. Cos her reciepts are from there :) Yea it is a pity they are only white or i would stock up on them ------------- ~ Mummy to a beautiful girl ~ |

I'm loving my fuzzis (now that Bella finally fits them) and one microfleece insert lasts around 4 hours...just a bit nervous of what combo to try at night (I'm still using a sposie at night  ). She's a pretty big wetter and sleeps 11 hours + overnight...guess I should just bite the bullet and try something and deal with the consequences in the morning!  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Shell, have you got a bumgenius? Or if you have one of the ones off trademe get a cottenbabies insert off fuzzimum on trademe, just ask her for one in the question bit, and try that on bella for the night. If that leaks, put the hemp insert in came with and i bet that will last :) ------------- ~ Mummy to a beautiful girl ~ |

Oh and if the microfibre insert from the fuzzis last her 4 hours, i bet the cottenbabies insert will last all night in the knock off BG ------------- ~ Mummy to a beautiful girl ~ |

| Shell - if you wanna put Bella in cloth overnight, stuff the nappy with more than you think you will need and then you can reduce it, at least that way you shouldn't get leaks. Daniel is a mega wetter and he needs: 1 microfibre, 2 2-layer hemp fleece trifolds and a microfibre/hemp trifold.. that lasts him 12-13 hrs |

Geez louise, thats a lot for overnight!! I'll give it a go overnight, the fuzzi mf seem pretty good, so I'm sure a few of those and a hemp thrown in for good measure should do the trick!! hehe ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I just ordered a large popper nappy to trial for $10, including postage & a hemp/mf trifold insert! Bargain!! Can't wait to try it out as I prefer poppers over velcro. Will keep you posted!

My popper nappy arrived today! Naughty me, I couldn't wait to prewash it so I put it on Leo and after 3hrs there were no leaks! It was a really comfortable fit, much snugger fit than a Fuzzi or HC, but heaps of stretch in it. It's a narrower cut through the legs but the hemp/cotton trifold insert it came with fitted nicely. I quickly nabbed another 4-pack off Trade me for $45 including postage! Bargain! They'll be perfect as extras for daycare (my little boy starts tomorrow
