I have itchy feet...

:roll: I have the urge to overhaul my whole stash...maybe im bored with it? not sure...my stash is completly made up of Goodmamas and large DnF's and alot of wool...I havnt really ever got into pockets with K apart from when i was going back to work and i built up a fair stash of blueberries and coolababies...but i sold them off when i decided not to go back to work...

During our night nappy search i tried slinki/standard minkie's and they gave Kieren a rash all over his legs and bottom...no idea why...but since then i have avoided pul like the plague...

Now im wondering about trying pockets and wraps again...never thought i would say it...maybe im loosing the plot but i want him back in normal clothes sometimes...he is in a pul wrap today so i will see how that goes and we still love his wool but it would be so nice to be able to not have him in woolies... he seems to be going through a fase of soggy woolies no matter how much i change him/lanolise...

I find knitted soakers too bulky under clothes, im not a fan of interlock but i have ordered a soaker from lush tush to try under clothes... :roll:

Im trying to stop myself from selling off half the stash and replacing with pockets and pretty wraps...i like the look of blueberry wraps... but i need to NOT do that untill i know that he is ok in pul (or not as the case may be) :giggle: I also liked the fit of blueberry sidesnaps on K when i had some...

i think this has all started becuase of my of my other thread :roll:

Have you tried a ss interlock soaker/wrap?we fine those much trimmer under normal clothes.
Not sure what to suggest about pockets but would love some more large DnFs if you sell any! :giggle:

:hug: Do try not to be hasty though. Perhaps you could just sell one or two things to fund pocket a couple of pockets to try. Or perhaps some-one could lend you a couple of pockets to try them out?

Not much help am I :oops: :giggle:

I love interlock soakers under normal clothing but we can't cope with a single layer - they always need two layers to be reliable, but provided there's two layers if Grace is in a fitted rather than a pocket during the day I always use a wool soaker or wool wrap...
I love my tykie diapers SS wool wrap (although it's a tad small since I accidentally put it in a nappy wash and then tumble dried it '- d'oh! It's bomb proof though! :lol: ) and our tester snugglebots soaker is fab too :)

I even pop a vest on over them...

I didn't find blueberry wraps particularly reliable on Grace and found they only fitted over her trimmest nappies - they were prone to wicking if the nappy got too wet so not as reliable as a standard PUL wrap like a lycra outer WN PUL wrap...
They are pretty though :lol:
