Which nappies are the best nappies?

I'm sure if I waded through the discussion I'd find out, but I'm being lazy .

There are so many types of nappies - which type do you think is the best, and value for money? and why?

Thank you

I prefer pocket nappies for daytime as they're easy to use, are quick-drying, slim-fitting, and you can adjust the absorbency to fit your baby's needs. Brands I'd recommend are Fuzzi Bunz, Honeychild, Foxybots and Itti Bitti D'lish (techniqually an AIO as the inserts snap into the cover, rather than sit in a pocket).

Now that Leo's older (21mths) and weeing more at nights (he sleeps 12-13hrs overnight and was wetting through every pocket combination I tried) I prefer a fitted nappy with cover or longies (lanolized knitted pants) for nights as the absorbency level is better and you have 2 layers to prevent leaks. My favourite fitted nappy for nights is a Designer Bums hemp fitted with bamboo booster - they're trim through the legs and fast-drying because the bosters fold-over and snap in but they are SUPER absorbent (layers of hemp, microfibre & bamboo) - and are gorgeously hand-dyed in lovely bright colours

Out of the smalls that we had..

Fuzzis: they were pretty good but found they didn't always hold in that lovely breastmilk poo explosions
Tweedles: were awesome, the elastic stayed snug against his legs and never leaked anything but now that hes older they arent nearly as good
Monkey Doodlez: they were my fav nappy bag nappy. They are an AIO and I got boosters for them, nice and trim so didnt take up much space in my bag!


In mediums I've just tried too many lol.. my favs though..

Foxybots: hehe of course since I made them so I am biased but they work really well and are interesting!
Wigglebums: they are a good standard sort of nappy that I just found worked really good for us
Baby Harmony: again worked really well, liked the different fleece options that she has, but the sizing for mediums I think is a bit on the small side.


And we have a happy heiny one size which we love, but mostly because its cow print, daniel has figured out how to work velcro so I don't use it often now.

I should of added that I started using cloths when Josh was 5 months old so didn't use them when he was a newborn. And we went straight into mediums.

unfortunately ginger...you're best to try a few different ones and then go with what works best on no.9

i found prefolds/covers best on a young butt

i love baby harmony and drybee naps, they are both pocket nappies....don't like fuzzi's and tweedles sit funny on my 2...also like peapods which alot of people hate

so have i managed to confuse you even more?

There's no such thing as the 'best' nappy, there are soooo many awesome ones!

Come visit me and I can tel you allll about it!

I found prefolds / covers great on newborns.  Then we moved on to bum genius but this time round I might try the BG earlier.  Prefolds are just so easy!  Tom was in cloth from Day 8 (when we were finally released)

I go through stages of favourites I have quite a few d'lish and love how trim they are I also love berry plush for AIOs.
Pockets; Baby harmony is a fave. I hate all our pockets with pictures on the PUL as they tend to leak. Foxys are really reliable and cute but a bit more bulky (excellent for night time too).

I quite like fitteds as well with longies or soakers. My favourite fitted is the itti bitti boo but my two aren't big wetters.

I'd buy a few different ones that look cute and see where you go from there. There are so many options these days I don't bother with ugly, boring ones when there are cute ones that are just as good for the same price.

bubba three is in a tlking about stages - after I'm registered so 19 more months minimum. also, it would be nice to have to pay for only two kids in childcare!

Quite $$$$ though.
