We'd like to thank all our loyal customers who have supported us while we have experienced worldwide delays in receiving Fuzzi Bunz Stay Dry Nappies, it doesn’t matter how good a product is if you can’t get it!
The good news is that things are improving at the manufacturer's. We are pleased to report that our shipping times have improved and are falling each week. We hope to be back to our normal delivery times (7-10 working days) shortly. Our current delivery time is 2-3 weeks.

Hi there,
Yay after about a 2 month+ wait my Fuzzi Bunz have arrived! Wahoo! The colours are so beautiful. However I have a slight problem ... Andy keeps weeing out the leg! When we tried the demo nappy he did this a few times but we just figured that by the time they arrived he would have grow into them. He has large legs and is well above the med min weight range and has just turned 6 months. Any ideas on how to stop this? Is it possible that doing them up too tight would cause this problem? They leave nasty red elastic marks on his poor wee legs.I'm thinking of trying them on a looser dome but am worried about the possible consequences! My agent is going to call in the weekend to make a time to come round, but I'm really desperate to start using them and start enjoying the financial benefits of not buying disposables any more. And I'm getting slightly freaked out that we have wasted $700+!! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Laura ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

Are the nappies gaping around the leg at all? If when he is lying down, you push his knees back, the legs should still be a snug fit, if there is gaping that would account for the leaks.
The weight range really is a guide only...I'm alternating between smalls and mediums on Maddie as she can fit them both and she is 7.5 months. I also know of one woman whose 1+ year old is still in smalls. It emphasises why it is such a good idea to deal through an agent. If we can't help you over the net i'm sure your agent will be able to sort if for you though. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Hi
There doesn't seem to be any gaping. Do you think they could be too tight? I was talking to a mum today who said that her daughter gets no marks at all on her wee legs. ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com">

Maddie will sometimes get slight marks from the legs though it never really worried her....it is possible it is a little tight. You could try snapping them on the next set out and check for gaping. If there is any gaping though you will need to use the tighter setting. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

The nappy will leak if it's too tight and shouldn't need to be tight enough to leave deep marks on bubs.
Have a play around with the snaps, the great thing about thiis style of nappy is that just because the waist is on the tightest fitting doesn't mean the thighs have to be (Caitlin is on the smallest waist snap and almost the largest thigh snap). Hope that helps ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Thank you both for you help. I really appreciate it.
I tried one on a looser setting but Andy still weed out them and there were still red marks.  Around the stomach they are still tooo big but does that matter? Maybe I'll have another go when I get home this afternoon ...

Random question, but what are you stuffing them with? I find my girls wet straight thru an insert + booster, they need either 2 full inserts or 1 full insert + 2 boosters. -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Hi Emma,
I've been trying an insert and an inner. I've tried two inserts before but they seem to make the nappy so big that it pulls away around Andy's legs. It seems to me that the wee is coming through right by the elastic. Might see if I can push the inner up the sides a bit?? Or I might try two boosters. Didn't think of that. Thanks. Getting very disheartened and sick of all the washing!! ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com">

Sounds like its a fit problem that needs to be seen. Hope your agent can see you soon and that you get it sorted  They are fantastic nappies when they fit correctly.------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |

Laura,
Any luck with the leaking yet? If the leg elastic is still leaving red marks it sounds like the nappy is still too tight for him Let us know how you got on with your agent  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Hello everyone.
Thank you so much for all your help. We have had a major break through! No more leaking! Yay! I think I wasn't pusing the boosters far enough up the sides. I LOVE Fuzzi Bunz! The sense of satisfaction when I can whip the nappy open and get rid of the liner and it's contents and keep using the same nappy is HUGE! hehehe However ... Andy STILL has red marks on his legs. I now have him on the 2 dome. It seems to be working but I hate the red marks! I have been changing them quite frequently though as I'm worried about the leaking. But I am trying to leave them longer between washes. I've been popping in an extra booster when leaving the house. Awesome! Sadly I'm going to have to get some more boosters $$$$. How long should an inner and a booster give me? I haven't been brave enough to use them over night yet. What inner contents do the rest of you use at night? Sadly the agent didn't ring this weekend like she said she would :( I really want to get the red mark thing solved. I'm so impressed. And am feeling like a real Greenie 
Hope you have all had a fab weekend. Hugs Laura P.S can I ask you all a poopie/solids question here or should I start a new thingie?? ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com">

Laura, are you reusing the nappy and changing the insert? Fuzzis aren't designed to be used like this and MIGHT be a reason for the leaks (can't see how tho, but could be something to consider). I put Caitlin to bed for the night with 2 large inserts (12 hours) and don't have leaks (now that she is in the mediums) and for daytime I put in one large insert and 1 booster. That lasts her for 4 hours+ and I think she is a fairly heavy wetter. Re. the pooping thing, probably best to start a new topic so that everyone can read it and offer advice ------------- http://lilypie.com">

For Maddie we are using 3 inserts over night (I'm sure she saves it all up during the day!) and during the day an insert and a booster will give us 4 hours or so. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

ditto on that one... i know some people who do reuse their pockets that way but they air them out between uses. Its not something i have ever done tho. it may be causing the red marks around his legs tho, the pee would be irritating him. also what size nappies are you using? |

Hi there,
I only reuse the nappy if Andy hasn't weed in it. He seems to like pooping in it as soon as I change it. Since his poop is now solid there is no mess once the liner is replaced. I was told about this by the agent. Feeling bit stink now. I would never reuse a nappy which was wet. I change the whole thing when it needs changing. Please don't think that I'm being dirty
I always make sure that there is no wee
We are using mediums. Going to go and hide in the cupboard 
Thanks for the info on night time use. Might give it a go tonight. ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com">

No one thinks you are being dirty Laura. What needs to be changed at each nappy change does seem to confuse a lot of people tho, and whenever I do a demo, I always get asked if you need to change the whole nappy or just the inserts. I think they were just making sure you were aware as a lot of people arent.
BTW, am sorry your agent didnt ring you. Maybe try calling her, otherwise I can pop in next time I come over? ------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |

Thanks Aimee.
I'll give my agent an email and give her another chance. I just hate hounding people. Esp when I think I should be able to put a nappy on my baby properly on my own! hehehe I'm totally loving the Fuzzi Bunz now that the leaking has stopped. There is a lady on TM selling FB with a zoo print. Do you know if Honeychild be getting them in too? As I REALLY need some!! ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com">

Just as well really as haven't recovered from paying for this lot yet.
Because I bought a package and now need more boosters and inners will I be allowed them at the package price or will I have to pay full? How many extra boosters and innners do you think it is best to get? I know it is hard for you to say. I have 19 nappies and only 3 extra inserts and no extra boosters as I didn't know I might need extra boosters. I probably wouldn't have bought so many but when we ordered them (ages ago!!) Andy was still doing about 10+ nappies a day and pooing every 2nd chance. Now of course we are changing HEAPS less! Sigh, never mind. Atleast the nappies will get well rotated and might last even longer! And I can have some in the nappy bag all the time. ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com">

i think your rep should have given you better advice and maybe you should contact Honey child direct and make them aware of their reps shortcomings. (just my opinion tho)
if you wanted you could prob sell some of your fuzzis on TM or here(and you will get a good price if not used very much and with liners)to finance getting more boosters and inserts. and maybe some diff nappies too to see if it is just bubs shape that affects the nappy's performance. |

I think I'll just keep them as we hope to have more babies so they will be used lots.
In fairness the rep didn't know it was going to take about mmm 8 weeks for the nappie to arrive. She told us 2! Alot changes in 8 weeks with a baby. We can't really afford to try any other nappies. These have cost us $740 so far and we need more extras!! Once the red marks are sorted they will be perfect. Just wish there were some prints. ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com">

Aww Laura - no one thought you were dirty hun! You'd be surprised at the things us Agents hear for example one lady was putting her nappy on BACKWARDS (snaps at the back) So we have to ask those questions first to rule those out.
In the agents defence by the sounds of it you ordered just as the shipping delay started (I was victim to that too and had a lot of orders cancelled, but it was totally out of our (HoneyChild) control. I also totally agree that if ANYONE receives bad service they should definitely follow it up, there might be a good reason why your Agent hasn't got back to you. Please remember us Agents are all Mums and sometimes we can't be there for our customers - hope that doesn't sound rude?!?!? Just saying that if you follow it up with Honey Child there might be a good reason for her not calling you back i.e. sick kids etc ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Lol I'd love to see someone try and put one on backwards on my rolling baby. Now that would be funny!
I emailed the agent today. Hopefully she'll reply soon. I totally understand the whole working Mum thing. That's why I'm not ringing her and hounding her or telling you all who she is!. lol ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com">

Agent was meant to be coming this morning but I canceled as had a rough night and just couldn't get ready by 9:30am! Tried Andy on 3rd snap yesterday. Hadn't tried before as looked really loose. No wee wees escaped and only very slight red mark. Means that there is only one more snap to go until he's out of them!!! How could he grow 3 snaps since we first tried them??!! Andy is showing signs of crawling, so hopefully he starts soon and tones up those legs a bit otherwise these nappies aren't going to last very long which will make them insanely expensive!! ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com">

Sorry Laura, was just posting in this topic and just noticed your update.
Don't panic too much about him being on the 3rd snap already as like you say when they crawl they do tone up all over (we've actually gone in a waist snap since she started crawling). The mediums should last you quite a while yet BUT when he does grow out of them sell them on Trade Me. I just sold some for $25 each without inserts! My reserve was only $10  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Hi again.
Is there anyway of getting nappy rash cream stain out of the liners? Look so grotty. Or am I better ogg just replacing them once they look too nasty? Also, even after rincing, and hot washing I'm still getting some poop stains on the liners. Any suggestions on how to get rid of would be much appreciated. Thanks heaps ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com">

If you have 19 FB including inserts and boosters, I'm surprised you are in the position of needing more. You should be able to use half of them in a day while washing and drying the other half. I have 18 inserts for 2 full-time clothie babies and use 6 inserts every night. PS Krystiana is in mediums and Briona still fits mediums, so you should be okay for sizes. ------------- |

Hi BusyMum,
Now that I've got the fitting sorted and aren't using 2 boosters and an inner per nappy everything is fine. Thanks for the info though ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com">

The amount required is a personal thing though. Most people with a 10mth old only have 12, we need 20 so go figure
Laura, it's best to ask these kinds of questions on the Cloth nappy thread so that everyone else can offer advice and those new to cloth can benefit, rather than keep bumping this one. But I would suggest drying your nappies and accessories in the sun (a bit hard with winter coming I know) but the UV will remove the stains. If they are particularly stubborn stains try an oxy whitener. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

What cream are you using to leave marks? And are you using seperate fleece liners, or do you mean the actual fleece inner of the nap? The sun should get any poo stains out of the fleece. The rash cream stains should come out if you give them a good scrub with dishwashing liquid, then rinse and wash. Hope that helps ------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |
