...when you go away?
We are going away at Easter & that's easy, in the car, will take all the nappies with us as we are going to our bach/holiday house so have all normal facilities, Can soak/wash dry with ease. BUT we are flying to Chch mid may & it will be a little difficult. So do you guys just use disposies? Or do you dry your MCN's in the drier & how long do they take? ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">

| i use disposables - well, we did when taine was little. now he's in night nappies only, depends where we go and who we stay with, but when he was fully in nappies, i would use disposables while travelling. |

If you're flying, I would go with disposables. Cloth nappies take up so much room in your luggage it isn't funny. -------------

Yeah was thinking that might be the easiest!
So what is the best boys nappy out there?  I'll go to Nappies direct as they are cheaper & their nappies are quite good. But then again it's probably easier to get one packet here & another packet in Chch.
Who would have thought I would have felt weird about using disposibles! ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">

| I used cloth the first time we went away and stayed with grandparents as I had never used a sposie. since then we use sposies. It is so much easier and takes up less room. I swear by huggies. expensive yes, but apart from James leaking out of one the other night (god knows how) we have very little nappy failure. |

I always use sposies when we go away, even for one night - it makes it more of a holiday for me  . I have 2 girls no boys, but we always use huggies fornight time. -------------

I highly recommend the homebrand nappies!! They were on Target and tested equal to huggies but are only $5 a pack versus however much huggies are. -------------

I absolutely second recomending homebrand!!! apparently they are made by huggies but are in cheaper packaging, i find they do the same job as huggies at way less than half the price!!!
They are at countdown. |

We went to a wedding in Wanaka for the weekend a few weeks back, we just used Huggies disposables too, much easier.
I was going to buy Homebrand the other day when I was in Countdown to try them but they don't have newborn size!! Will have to wait til Campbell has grown a bit more to try them. |

We use dissposables when we go away. Gives me a break and saves bringing back smelly nappies. THough if we are going somewhere to see family i use cloth at night as i find them better than disposables.
What sizes do the homebrand come in? My friend with twins uses huggies and wont use anything else and was thinking of buying her a pack to try becasue she would save so much money - havent been able to convince her to go cloth yet lol |

I always used sposies when travelling, unless going somewhere for a week or more with good washing facilities. I've always prefered Huggies but once older I found Treasures Ultra worked well for Leo too.

It depends on where I am going. I took my cloths to Oz with me but put most of them in the baggage so that I only had a few (2 I thing) in my carry on. Josh is on a sposie at night and we use Huggies, Ultras or the woolworths branded one (not the HB ones) on him. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

I usually use sposies when we go to the bach as they are hard to dry if it isn't sunny. One xmas I took cloth though, last xmas didn't as we were worried about running out of water.
When we went to Nelson last year to see the inlaws I just bought sposies once we got there, saved on luggage ------------- Lindsey

Taking the cloth away with me, got 14 Flats packed & 6 MCN's, got disposies to try for tomorrow as we are out & about all day so I know what works for Chch.
It feels weird as I can't remember how long a disposie lasts  ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">
