What reuseables do you use?

bylromarha · 9 July 2007 at 10:26PM

Hi all

I am in the final stages of setting up my own business selling second hand baby goods.

I also want to sell reuseables as I love em!

Just wondered what ones I should stock that work and are most popular. I don't have the space to stock more than 4 brands.

I love my motherease as they do the job, but hated my bambino mios as they leaked as soon as my son wee'd and could take or leave fuzzibunz as they need to be stuffed with more than the booster pad. All my friends followed my motherease lead, so wondered what other makes are out there which friends never got as far as looking into.

So please help me decide which ones to go for by voting in the poll! If you select other, please detail which brand you use.

Thanks

I don't think you can do a one size fits all thing for cloth nappies as different nappies suit different babies and lifestyles. Understanding the benefits of each type and how to problem solve is imo of more use than just stocking one brand.

I don't intend to just go with one brand, but I can't sell every brand either!

My plan always has been to stock up on 3 or 4 of the brands which are good for most mums and babies and have samples of other brands available for fittings.

I used the Mothercare shaped nappies when my boys were little, wasn't as much choice 9 years ago when I bought them.

Given the choice again (if for some bizarre reason I decided to have another) I would use the 'all in one' type most likely.

good old terries!

Hi bylromarha

I use terries with Motherease wraps so I've voted for Terries. You might want to do another poll for wraps...

Good plan stan.

Although have set the poll up for multiple votes, so maybe people would be kind enough to vote more than once and detail on the thread if they voted for more than 1 brand due to different brands of wrap and inner?

That'd save a double poll...don't want to be responsible for election fatigue!!!!!

Just curious;)

ah I didn't realise it was multiple choice

I have a real mishmash - we're going to use terries to begin with and then go onto shaped but I've also been given some prefolds... so a bit of everything really. The only ones I'm steering clear of are all in ones as they take too long to dry (although I have been given a couple of all in ones so will use them occasionally...)

nature babies

My DD is almost 2 so I have used different types as new ones have been released.

I started off with Nature Babies Diddy Diapers in the terry, I found them slow drying and difficult to fit around her slim legs.
Swapped to Tots Bots Bamboozles Size 1, good but after a while the fabric felted and I couldn't get my nippa to grip and I couldn't close them. I tried Tots Bots wraps but didn't like them, I think the design has changed now though.
On to Tots Bots Rainbow, Size 2. I bought these as a job lot at the baby show when I was still pregnant and felt a bit depressed that other things had come out since and I had no excuse to buy them! They have lasted very well and the sizing is good. I also have a couple of Nature Babies Microfibre diddy diapers for nighttime, they are great and stay very soft, loads better than the terry diddy's

All along I have used Nature Babies wraps, I can't rate them highly enough.

Bambino Mio

I used Bambino mio and Kooshies for my daughter (now aged 8) and they were very bulky & leaked alot but I perservered with them. There wasn't much choice then though.
