1 Pop in one size
1 upsy daisy

Fitteds

2 one size mutts
1 holdens landing nappy
1 flexitots
6 terrys
11 tots bots bamboozles
4 cotton tots bots
1 fluffle
1 popolini organic
some ME one size

Wraps

1 BB wrap
4 tots bots
3 ME wraps
1 Debbies nappies wrap

On the way

I'd get rid of the fluffle the mutts and the cotton tots to be honest ... I found fluffles leaked no matter how I boosted due to the high amount of microfibre, Mutts as I said yesterday are just no good for heavy wetters and the cotton tots are not great as cotton is not the most absorbant material. I would look for bamboo or obv nappies and boost my nappies with hemp booster. With your pockets I would get some Peiti Dessou (sp) bamboo inserts & easy peasy hemp and stuff with that instead of the microfibre insert that came with them e.g the BG insert.

I intensely dislike tots wraps too, they ALWAYS leaked around the legs for Imogen also we had issues with the BB around the legs too... Motherease airflo are good as are Wee notions (maybe try fleece or wool :giggle: )

Flexitots, Guerilla fluff & Baby Behinds are all quite good for heavy wetter imo

I just want to raise another option, if you're happy with what you have overall but just need a bit more absorption - pick up some hemp boosters (Easy Peasy and Greenkids are great), and add them to the nappies you have (generally under the snap-in insert).

That would probably be the most budget-friendly option - the problem with selling the more basic stuff (Tots, ME) is that you probably won't get a huge amount for them, and most of the nappies we've recommended on the other thread will tend to be on the pricey side :oops: (although you can find most of them preloved, and Northern Lights new, for around £10-12).

for our heavy wetter we didnt get on with mutts or holdenlanding so id reccomened replacing them with something like Dunk n Fluffs or nappies with bamboo :) as for pockets we use weenotinos stuffed with hemp or bamboo, Petit Dessou and green kids inserts are great :)

Actually this is a good point, extra boosting could be for now exactly what you need ..... I bought some fabby bamboo boosters from Puddlekins and they fit into all my nappies ... Definitely hemp under the microfibre inserts in your pockets though


I would still say get rid of the fluffle though :giggle:

Pocket wise BG's may work if they're stuffed with bamboo and hemp instead of the microfibre insert they come with. All our pockets are stuffed with bamboo and hemp, though the only pockets that work reliably for us are WNSS. BG's aren't a great fit on my DS and they seem bulkier somehow :?

Fitted wise I'd get rid of the Mutts and the cotton tots and the MEOS. I find Easy peasy hemp inserts great for boosting - so perhaps you could get some of them to boost your other fitteds? I know not every heavy wetter gets on with HL's but we love ours, I've heard great things about Fluff and Stuff and Dunk and fluff's also. I'm also a fan of Flutterby Fluff's :)

Just to say, I dont think Cushie Tushies are that great for heavy wetters either - My DD isn't even a particularly heavy wetter and ours still dont last that long - however they are much too pretty for me to get rid of :hohoho:
