What brands *must* i try?! Please help to "Pretty" me up!

Postby katem » Fri Dec 31, 2010 11:37 am

Hi!
Have finally given up with pocket nappies after far too many wicking issues: the only thing that kept me holding onto them for so long is how pretty they look compared to my fitteds!

The only fitteds ive tried so far are tots bots: I found the fluffles not nearly absorbent enough & got rid straight away. I love the old-style bamboozles & use these all the time now, and ive tried the stretchies but find they're not as absorbant as the older ones (theyve been washed plenty, so its not that).

For wraps:
Im loving motherease, i think its the double gussets that i like: theyre just bomb proof!
I dont like blueberry: i cant use them all day as the wee makes the fabric inner smell after a couple of changes.
I had 1 weenotion, but it just seemed too "poofed up" on him.

So, i guess im asking... what am i missing out on?
Can i transfer my pretties addiction to fitteds? Makes more sense to have pretty wraps than inners i guess!
Are there any other good "double gusset" wraps out there?
What are the best fitteds in terms of value for money, absorbancy, and trimness: does anything tick all 3 boxes?!
Quite interested to hear opinions on the bitti boos too!

So many questions!! sorry! :giggle:

My favourite fitteds are Dunk n Fluff and Holdens Landings. I don't use PUL wraps, but fleece and wool on top of the nappies work really well. Happy shopping :wine:

My fave fitteds are Dunk N Fluff's, Fluff N Stuff Heavy Wetter & Luscious Little Somethings Heavy Wetter's!!!

We occasionally use Dunk N Fluff wraps or fleece but otherwise use wool as our waterproof layer!

Luscious Little Somethings for fitteds and Thirsties Duo Wraps come in some really lovely prints and perform amazingly!

Weenotions also sell fiteds which you can customise with embroydery, and they sell fleece wraps too again which you can customise to make them look pretty

I loved Tykies Dipers from the US, Ann's customer service is fab, dunk n fluff and holdens landing are fab, LLs are great but Amber has just had a baby so assume she isn't spending her hours sewing.
Just look on classifieds there is always loads on there
