    im a cloth user with the odd pack of disposables when its not practicle for cloth (however no offence to onlyroz but if u use cloth please dont buy kooshies, they always leave people a little deflated on cloth nappies as they rnt very good in comparison to most). I like the lidl ones when i need to and a variety of cloth the bulk of the time :)

    Would echo cloth as an honestly easy, pleasant option (would you believe they do not smell- soggy disposeables stink, but wet terry nappies are pleasant to change- poo smells of poo what ever you use:rotfl: ).

    Did use kooshies AIO for the childminder for an older baby/toddler but they are not a good option as a starter nappy and will put disp users off. Stuffable fleece nappies are a good "transition" choice (you put the pad- terry or what ever inside the soft fleece outer and then it is ready to use exactly as a disp).

    Don't buy a "birth to potty" set either as no one cloth nappy/style is going to really work "the best" at every age.

    TRy a couple of cloth nappies (maybe second hand) and see what you think, you'll get most of your money back selling on anyway!

    my dd is a huggies natural fit girl, the tesco ones brought her out in a terrible rash all round the tummy and legs where the cuffs are and pampers gave her nappy rash. she is really skinny and at 19 months still in 9-12 month bottoms! she has no bum at all and all the others brands fall down!

    I like Asda own brand and Pampers baby dry/active fit. I find both are excellent and hold a lot, they do keep los bum quite dry too :rotfl:
    I find Tesco, superfit purple ones? are rubbish! They don't hold a lot :eek: they leak and the sizes are smaller than the equivalent Asda/Pampers sizes. I don't like Huggies either, same leaking problems! I've tried different sizes from Huggies and these are all terrible!
    The £2.00 Coin Savers Club = approx £22.00 :rolleyes: :j.. The 20p Savers Club = £17.80.

    I found that I needed to swap and change brands/types of nappies quite oftn with both of my children at different stages. What suits one child may not suit another.
    I currently use the Tesco supperfit & think they are fab!

    hi,
    all my 3 girls have had pampers babydry, did once try huggies, but no good. my baby is 13 months, and i would have loved to used reusable nappies, but its the outlay. i know you would pay more in long run for disposables. its really a personal/financial desicion i think. whatever works for you.

    Wow, I guess it's a case of trying them all out as it seems it depends on the baby.

    I was hoping I wouldn't have to....!

    I don't have the courage to do the reusable thing. I remember wearing them with the big scary safety pin on the side! (I know they don't have the pin anymore but still)

    I did read that Tesco nappies won best nappy one year (even beat the big brands like Pampers) but I couldn't remember if it was Purple one (Superfit) or Yellow pack (Baby Dry Essentials).

    Morrisons ones are the only disposables we don't have problems with.

    I prefer the terries. Quick fold into a pad with a motherease rikki wrap (just velcro) - NEVER leaks. But disposables better for long periods like night time.

    I found that some disposables leaked EVERY time, some gave him nappy rash, some tore too often...the Morrisons ones have been pretty reliable.
