Thank you. I'm limited to where I can get them from for me, but that will be useful for little miss. The one I got her will grow with her, so should last well though.dawnybabes said:late to the party here but primarni do period knickers and they are really good"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do".

Thank you, that's useful to know, but I'm the next size up. I was thinking about it though and I'm happy with the ones I currently use as it is a sustainable and ethical company so I'll probably stick with them (WUKA). I'm all for people switching to reusable though as it is much better than disposable, so it's great that there are more affordable options out there.dawnybabes said:
