So we agree that PP don't! Shame as they are really nice!
Wher's a good place to get nice denim jeans that fit over a fuzzi bum? |

I would suggest either buying the next size up, or I have found the stuff at farmers to be quite a good size bum wise
Either that or we can usually get away with one insert to make the nappy nice and trim. Means a few more nappy changes during the day, but will fit in the jeans/pants. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I only ever use one insert during the day but his Xmas jeans are too tight already! Need a pair with elasticated waist I think.
A friend of mine has Minti jeans for her boy but they are $$$$$$$ and at the rate my fella is growing definiately not worth the mony! |

I've done the same thing - Leo is wearing size 2 shorts that look adorable cause they're long but fit his cloth bum well. Otherwise, I found that JK with elasticated waistbands fitted heaps better than PP. I found the JK 12-18mth baby size fitted better than the 1 preschool size because it was the same width but shorter length. Otherwise, my favourite jeans are Bonds Baby! I picked some up during a trip to Oz (from Best & Less) and they fit great as they make a lovely wide-leg denim jeans & shorts with elasticated waists. Watch the sizes though as size 1 is actually up to 12mths, so size 2 is 12-24mths. They've always fitted Leo's cloth bum really well and are really good quality. Vic xx |

Mmmm - trying tnot to buy anymore nappies as I have about 15 - 20 mediums which is more than enough - although the Mummy's touch one size would have been a better idea than HC's and FB's I think.
Might try JK - he's only 8 months but the PP jeans were 9-12 so length wise they were a bit long. Might try older shorts or 3/4 and see how they go. Mum sent me some Mothercare trousers from the UK and they are great! Might do a bit of a webb shop and see if she can post some more over! |

Hope I'm not too late!
We bought a pair of awesome cargo jeans at the P&C show last year from Jack and Abby, they're only $16 each! They are really soft and light and can definitely handle a cloth bubble butt
The sizes are pretty weird though. Caitlin is still in 6-9mths and she's 18mths, 10kg and 81cms!  If you're not sure on sizing give them a call, they are all really helpful and delivery is super fast (and you get a packet of choccy buttons LOL)

i must be weird... i would never have put my 5 mth old in jeans - in fact i think gabriels first jeans was when he was 3yrs old and that was for a special occasion...and i would never spend $16 on a pair of pants for kids either... ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

Just had a look and the J & A ones look groovy! Managed to pick up a pair at K Mart for $15 size 0 and they are still too big on Ro which is great! They stay up if he has his Fuzzi on!
Just waiting for all my TM shopping to arrive:) |

For decent jeans I have spent $35 from PP. I just got the classic light weight ones,...no colours or patterns, so they went with everything, and she thrashed them! I buy other things on sale, so that I can get one or 2 things like that each season for Isla,...and I cant rember when I last got anything for me! Lol! I stock up on cheaps stuff from t&t at there end of season sales, with the next size up for Isla to waert the follwing summer etc. Got cute as skirt $5, tops $3, and sunhat $3 for next summer, last week! |

Im lucky tho cos MIL buys the majority of Isla's clothes,...so if I had to buy everything, it would probaly be a different story!
I miss the days of disposable incomes x2! Especially when we were in London! I have a pair of 100 pound boots in my wardrobe! Lol! |

Mmm... disposable incomes. I had 2 $250 coats (one long, like a fitted trench, and another shorter warmer material one) I still have the longer coat... can't bear to part with it, but I've lent the shorter one to my little sister (who thankfully is very careful with stuff) I'm still hoping I'll fit them someday... And Mike has a pair of $400 boots (New Rocks - $300 but then customs had their thing ) So I guess that's his little vice 
I am guilty of getting Seb a few PP things - but only ever on sale. I haven't spent more than $17 for a shirt there - his only jeans from there are ones my mum picked up with tiny flaws in the seconds rack for about $10. -------------
