I did some maths.

So.... I changed her about 12 times (!) a day for the first 3 weeks, but only about 8 times a day now, so let's pretend she's 5 weeks old.

Pampers Baby Dry - Micro were £2.74 for 24 - 274 / 24 = 11.42p per nappy.
3 weeks at 12 - 3 x 7 = 21 x 12 x 11.42 = 2877.84p - £28.78
2 weeks at 8 - 2 x 7 = 14 x 8 x 11.42 = 1279.02p - £12.79
TOTAL - £12.79 + £28.78 = £41.57

15 Fuzzis at £115 - 115 - 12.79 - 28.78 = £73.43
12.79 / 2 = £6.80 a week.

Plus the wear on my washing machine (which only cost £70 anyway... so not a lot of cost there), detergent etc. - Don't know hoe to factor in the machine and electricity though.

Fairy non-bio liquid - 1 bottle - £3.29
Lavender and tea tree oils - £9
Nappy Bucket - £5
TOTAL - £17.29 + £73.43 = £90.72

£90.72 / £6.80 = 13.34 weeks

So at 8 nappies a day, I need to use them for 93.4 more days to make my money back. Or if I sell them on at £5 each (I really, really take good care of these - pristine!), 2.3 weeks, or 16 days.

WOW - just goes to show how cheap cloth works out to be in the long run

Wow thats pretty impressive and don't forget you have factored in things like the oils and the nappy bucket which will be used over a lot longer period than that!!!

If they are in really good condition you should be able to get much more than £5 each for them too !!

I hope so! They seem to go for £5 in good condition without the insert - and there's not a mark or stain anywhere on any of them yet, and I won't need the inserts because They don't fit anything else!

My Tiny Heiny came today - just waiting for the next change so i can try it out! Seems the same size as a Fuzzi, maybe a little slimmer between the legs, but her father can probably cope better with the velcro!

I paid about £130 for all my size 1 nappies (excluding long term stuff like bins and oils and wipes- that came to around £160 I think). I then sodl them on for £100 so my first 5 -6 months of nappies came to a grand total of £30 . Nappies here would set me back around £10 a week!!!
