How long do you *expect* a daytime nappy to last...

Mareth - we used to get compression wicking in the sling so I now use a wool soaker with longies/skirtie over the top. Otherwise I end up with a wet back!

We used to use pockets with wraps, lol!

ooh, good idea. Don't have any wraps but might try pockets and wool...... Thanks Hanna

We do this with Summer, just cause we have more pockets than fitteds (at the moment ) but it works really well!

I don't tend to let Iris go for longer than 3 hours between nappy changes. If there's an unexpected nap, she might go for 4 hours. But it's more likely that she'll get changed after a couple of hours rather than that happen.

Roughly every 2 hours, we get through loads of nappies in the morning and less in the afternoon. So today's changes have been 7am out of night nappy, 8 ish wet after breakfast while getting dressed 8.45 poo, 11ish wet, 1pm wet, he'll have another change when he wakes and 1 before dinner time about 5.30, then it will be night nappy.

Sometimes we have been getting super wet nappies, no extra fluids, just very wet even leaking out of wraps I was all set to order an extra million easy peasy hemps and now it seems to have slowed down again

ETA I would hope they last for 3 - 4 hours, but change more frequently as otherwise as above we have had leaks

I would say 3-4 hours MAX.

If home I change around every 2 hours or so! When we are going out I add extra stuffing to the nappies so that they will last longer as it is fairly difficult trying to fit double buggys into change rooms etc

I would expect 3 to 4 hours maximum but would usually change every 3.

I would say 3-4 hours also. This is actually what nursery base their changes on and they mostly use disps - so all kids get a change at 10am, 1pm and 4pm and extra in between if needed and I would say we are pretty similar at home with timings, unless we have unexpected naps or are out and not able to do it, then it would push nearer the 4 hours.

Of course today I have changed 6 dirty nappies in 8 hours

I hate that look of a heavy disp all saggy down the leg of their trousers or bulging out of tights

I would hope to get 3 hours at least, maybe a little more, especially if I've boosted knowing its going to be longer before I can change.

Even when Zach was in dispos (until he was 10 months) I changed at least every 3 hours, I hate that saggy, full nappy look - its awful.
