Hello everyone,
My name is Kirsty and i am new here!. I know i should really do the introduction bit on the other topic but i do actually want some suggestions.
I have two children, my little boy, who is now 3 and thankfully potty trained used terry nappies throughout and I am now the proud owner of a new little person who is 8 weeks old (went for a girl model second time!).
I am unsure about what to use, I still have all the terry nappies but most were second hand last time and are somewhat crispy and unfluffy now. I am quite happy to carry on using them but feeling the need to go for some shaped nappies too, after all that extra effort last time.
I have been reading the info that you are all writing and i have to say I am still confused. There are just so many, and it has changed since i was looking 3 years ago, with new materials and such like.
If i tell you what i like maybe you can help me to hone in on a couple if you don't mind -
* not keen on aplix - poppers ok but i worry about melting if i resort to tumble drier (does this happen??). I have lots of nippa's and am fine with them.
* i am looking for shaped that isn't too bulky.
* Get very confused about pocket nappies so would probably rather avoid it.
*i already have wraps but i think they are thought to be pretty rubbish - mostly Bumpy day wraps.Not wealthy enough to change that but could probably afford a couple.
* I have to be honest and say I am still petrified of using real nappies at night, I know, i am pathetic!.
* would love to have pretty nappies but its not a major issue. I was shocked to discover just how much people are charging now for some nappies!!
I think that covers most things.
I'm sure you all groan when someone asks this question as it must come up repeatedly.
If all else fails i'll carry on covering my little one in cripsy terry!!.
Thanks for reading,
