WNNNs... cotton vs minkee outer?

Postby rhead » Mon Jan 18, 2010 2:39 pm

I was just browsing the new additions :oops: and some of the new limited edition cotton prints are *gorgeous* ... I don't really need any more night nappies but am seriously tempted anyway (we don't get on so well with the Northern Lights). I'm just wondering if anyone's tried the new-style NNs with a cotton outer, and how soft they are - i.e., any issues with rubbing on thighs? All our current NNs are either minkee outers or all OBV, both of which strike me as being a bit softer. I don't want to risk sore legs!

I had one cotton outer night nappy and had to sell due to leg sores. Saying that i have 6 NL's and 2 are cotton outer and we get no rubbing from them!!

I've only got either Minkee or Cotton Knit outers on my WN NN's and we get on great with them as i find the outer doesn't really touch her legs just the elastic bit of the inner iyswim (all the inners are Minkee though :wink: ) I've got loads of Cotton outer NL's and i dont have a problem them either but then they're not on as long as NN's are :-? I would say if your worried about sore legs then go for Minkee inner and Outer to be on the safe side :wink:

We don't get sores with the cotton outer WNNN but I do find that its smaller than the minky ones - wierd because they're all larges! I also find that its not such a good fit as the minky ones. x x

Gaah! You lot are no help at all :hohoho:. BTW, I'm guessing some of the cotton ones fit smaller because they're woven fabrics rather than knit, which don't have much stretch.

I would avoid a cotton outter but thats just becuase i hate the fact that they feel so wet compared to minkee...especially night nappies!
