You can get it from Lush Tush (Suzanne) on here
but mainly it's from the States, I don't know of anyone else selling it. She sells it as a 'Nappy Cut' but this is big enough to use for a number of things. I bought 2 lots & it's a weird felt stuff that you can just cut, no need to hem etc ... I can't sew to save my life so just shopped it into booster size bits & stuff it in my pockets with some hemp or bamboo.
I always get it added to my DnF, GF's and LLS where possible though, really helps for my heavy wetter.
Would you say it can be used as a booster with cotton nappies then? (maybe for nightime if folded, provided it is trim enough in one layer?). I am considering investing in it

I think you could use it as a booster for anything really, it's just like a piece of felt, no thicker. You could put it under the sewn-in tongue of the cotton little lambs or between the nappy & the wrap.

Thanks Zoey! I'll order it from the States, let's see if it makes it before the baby is born!

There's places over here that sell it rather than waiting for it from the states - Suzanne (the above post
) at
www.lushtush.co.uk and also
www.ecoearthfabrics.co.uk were selling it too last time I checked.

Yes, thank you, found it eventually
. Can someone translate for me in baby terms what you can do with a 50cmX55cm precut? I am interested mainly in making boosters (maybe night ones), but don't have a clue how long/wide, etc they should be and how many I can make out of a precut

I just cut this piece into roughly the size of a insert/booster that I had ... I think I got at least 10 from 1 cut, probably more ... I haven't needed to cut up the 2nd piece I have yet. When you have the nappies you are thinking of adding it to you can look & see what size you need to cut the pieces to, it doesn't really matter.
