so much choice - where do i start??!!
Hello ladies,
Just after some advice really.
With our dd we decided to use reusables and brought a load of terries not realising that there is so much more choice out there. We were using them for a couple of months before having to live away from home for 2 months over the summer where washing them was just more hassle. When we returned home i never went back to using them as i found our dd was to wriggly and terries just ended up being more hassle.
I know there are lots and lots of choices out there but i dont know where to start or if some are better than others. I did see several months back, a long posting by someone that outlined the different sorts, but i didnt think to save it.
im looking for a reusable which isnt big and bulky like terries and is easy to put on with no fiddling etc. i.e easy to put on a wriggling baby!
Baby no2 is due in 10weeks and i would like to get my head round the choices of nappies available .
Is it easier to go through someone local who does trial packs - don't know much about these thought, if anyone has experience they could share that would be great.
All ideas, advice welcome.

we use bumgenius pocket nappies and love them. coolababys are very similar and about a third of the price. they are both birth to potty. i like the bg as they are a velcro fastening so really easy to put on.
where abous do you live? i know someone who rents a nappy bucket, but it's lancashire. try contacting your council to see if they know someone who rents a nappy bucket.
There will no doubt be more questions to come lol!
Sadly im the opposite end of the country down in the south east!
I would get a couple of popular nappies and give them a try. Then go from there!

www.clothnappytree.co.uk is excellent for advice!
bg's lasted to potty training whereas motherease were struggling a little size wise, depends on the size of your baby to a certain extent. We got all ours online from Screaming Green. If you have a look at their site they explain a lot of the terminology of each different type etc and they only charge ??1 postage now for anything I think. Hope this helps and good luck.
Im thinking of the pocket/all in one nappies. Although the all in one nappies are the slowest drying.
The pocket nappies i believe have the pocket to insert an extra liner in. Presumingly this pocket doesnt leak anything out?!!
Whats the difference between the different makes?
I got a trial pack from our local council which had the different types and brands of nappies.
Ight be worth seeing if you council do similar.
We choose totsbots as the easyfit is very convenient (this was important for my hubby) and come in adorable prints too. I was also keen as they are Scottish Family run co
Pant based in Glasgow. Theyhave a facebook group and sometimes do competitions for freebies so might also worth you joining that. Hope you find something that works for you.
