View Full Version : Hunter cloth mums chat area.
Ok, so instead of boring other's in the lake thread and invading it with nappy talk i thought that maybe we could use this thread instead.
A great place to organise meets, nappycino's and just to chat, advise and vent!
Enjoy!:hugs:
Good idea!!!:thumbsup: I felt bad talking non-stop about MCN's the last couple of days, but don't know anyone in the nappy section (& there's HEAPS of threads & HEAPS of people... I would have felt lost!!!:o)
I put a bid on 5 AIO's on ebay last night... cow print ones... might be worth a go to build up my stash of day ones. Will talk on Friday about which night-time would suit DS best. Maybe start off with 2 or 3 of them???
I also bought 24 baby wash cloths as I'm going to try not using commercial wipes... i will still keep some on hand though.
& (sorry :ecomcity: ) I'm in the market for a good wet bag.
The zippered wet bags are better- no escaping smells! That being said though! I dont have a wet bag lol.
I think you'll find the BBB (Baby Beehind Bamboo) are the best night nappy for the price. DD1 wears that as a night one and i haven't had any trouble with leaks.
Anne will be there on Friday so you can see them there.

Great idea Tanya, cloth talk can really bore people. I haven't used anything other than bbb (and huggies on my older children) at night so can't compare to anything else and it works great.
Wet bags I love my zippered one for out during the day but love the bummis tote with the draw string for home as it hangs on the bedroom door. I only use the bucket for poop nappies now.
Bec it becomes really easy not to use commercial wipes when you don't have any at all :)
Oh and I finished the nappy hunt yippeee
:eek::eek::eek::eek: you finished!!!!!!

Well done on finishing the hunt mamabear!
Bexta - it's hard not to get excited! Which ones did you bid on ebay (maybe PM me with the answer to that - BH has been threatened with legal action before over comments) some are....shall i say...not so repuatable?? Having said that - the beaut bots ones i find to be really good - and the lady that makes them is very lovely - went out of her way to help me with boosting etc. Just remember - you do get what you pay for - if the price seems to good - the nappies are probably not so good.
i got a new zippered wetbag the other day - only $16 with a zippered wipes bag - i now have that, a large bummis, medium bummis plus 2 x one nappy peapod ones - i think that's enough - lol!! I had my wipes too wet today though :( they soaked through. I might put them inside a ziplock bag inside the wipes bag next time - so they look good & have extr wetness protection!!
I use the really thin wash cloths (you can get from K-mart or big w) i think they are big softies brand - they are great for wipes. I found the thicker ones are just too thick.
I think i have found some nice nappies to go with the flame baby legs i bought! One is a custom a lovely lady is making me, and i e-mailed another lady after i seen the perfect one on her website - hopefully she will be re-stocking soon!
Hi all... How is everyone. Thanks for that nappy Tan. Its great :D

In return, you can pm me where you got the wet bag with matching wipes bag!!!
I got the same baby cloths you mentioned from Big W... 'Big Softies'. I went to look at some 'Bubblebub's' & liked the look of their wipes wash & foam bottle.
I'm getting a custom Fairylite from WAHM, can't wait to hear about yours.
:ecomcity: Anyway... :o :laughing:
So to tie me over, I bought some glad zip lock bags in large until I get my wet bag.

Has any one tried Nic naps or nappylicious nappies?? They both have some really funky looking AIO's and i was thinking of getting some. but thought i'd ask if anyone knew how good they were.
:wave: Gumby!! Glad you liked it!!
:D
I havent tried them 2 Tan. They do have some gorgeous ones.
I was wondering the same thing!!
Damn this nappy hunt business- its going to send me broke!:yes:
I'd like to have a look... where are they from? So I take it from the conversation the other day, 'Bitty Boos' are good? Should I also be thinking about buying boosters & liners?
I had a look at the gnst in the medium size. 38.95 for light wetter, 43.95 for medium wetter & 48.95 for heavy. Should I look into them? Probably only need 2 or 3 night-time nappies?
I just had a look at the 'Nic Naps' site & everything is sold!!! This can be frustrating!!!
Ok... it me, (back again!!!):D
I was just cruising around & saw all the talk 2 months ago about these 'Magic alls' AIO by Babybeehinds... are they any good? They're ONLY $18.50!!! The small is 4.5-7kgs & the med is 7-11kgs... I was buying mostly mediums (what size do you think Tan? What's Nick in?)
Is this the sort of stuff at the nappycino & should I wait until then?
OMG bexta- you are keen!
Can i just suggest that some nappies are a great fit on some bubs and others are terrible on some but good on others. Its might be best if you try just one or two of certain brands and see how they go- then buy more if you like them? Otherwise you could be wasting money? I hope that makes sense and doesnt sound "mummy like":o.
I should get my Magicall soonish. I ordered it from a friend who will be at the Nappycino on Friday- you can talk to her there if you want. She might even have one to show you!!:thumbsup:
Also i find for night that the BBB are fantastic so you might want to try one of them before you buy and GNST's. They are heaps cheaper too.:hugs:
Sheer Bliss
21-08-2007, 16:01
:laughing: Bec - you sound like a kiddie in a candy store! I am buying mediums in most szes fir nick ATM. I have 2 magicalls - they are great. I'll make sure i bring one on friday. I find BBB are GREAT as a night-time nappy.
But seriously wait until the nappycino before making too many more decisions - i assure you you will probably be blown away with the number of different nappies you will see.
mamabearof3
21-08-2007, 16:38
You will be able to look at itti boo's at nappycino too, probably kidz in cloth, probably quite a few different brands with their makers will be there. You might just walk away very confused too. I've got a sandman and was surprised that it's hemp and not bamboo.
Bamboo is more absorbent than hemp Bec.
The whole BBB range will be there on Friday too including magic all's.
I got my 1st fluffy mail today!!!:smiliedance:
Still no point using them unti I have built up a stash...
Mamabear... have heard hemp smells after awhile?
Tan... I bought 2 magicall from Monkeys Undies.
Can't wait unti Friday!!!

Hi all, I can join this thread now, just started the 2 youngest in cloth this week...am still playing around with which are the best fit for the little treasures. Got some large magicalls from buyforbaby, and they are great, fit both my kids, but the aplix will come undone on the chunkier girly. Do really well on my boy, especially if I add a booster.
Tonight I ordered a happy heiny with the aplix and studs in xtra large, hoping that will work for madam, and also a swaddlebees side snap, cause the minkee side snap I used on her today seems to fit nicely.
I bought some brand new green kids, cause I really like them, but the fit isn't so good on my treasures, so I think I will have to off load them, shame, they are lovely nappies.
I like the itti bitti's too, and have an iish fly that is just beautiful, am waiting for it to dry so the girl can wear it.
Cloth nappies are ace, aren't they.:D
Hi there Mummyof5!!!:wave:
Would love to talk about your Greenkids!
Welcome to the cloth world! Its so addictive- my dh is still waiting to save money- i just cant stop buying them:laughing:

Hi Roopee,
I am going to sell them off I think, to fund more side snaps for the fat budda 2 year old...I have 2 anytimes in yellow and red and 2 funtimes- clown fish and stars on blue, but no pics as the camera has disappeared :eek: (think same said 2 yr old knows where it is though). They have been worn max twice and have the bamboo insert which has been washed like 3 or 4 times max. I will be asking $30 plus postage.
Let me know if you want any, oh and I have a 2nd hand, rose pink and a white, pink in great condition,the white has a very faint stain on front, only see it if you know it's there, and they have no inserts. Asking $10 each.
Have to go out now, will check back later.
I have Pm'd you- i dont think we are alowed to buy off here? Not sure?
Sorry Mods!!:o

Yes one more sleep til nappycino.
Yes I have heard the same Bexta about hemp but it hasn't happened for me yet either. There are things you can do to get rid of the smell easily too. Like a dettol or canestan in wash rinse cycle. Extra rinse cycle. Hot wash. Hot wash with dishwashing detergent. All apparently work to get rid of the extra ammonia smell in hemp that can sometimes build up. I do a strip wash with dishwashing liquid once every 4 months anyway (ie I've done it once with this bub so far and will do it again in another month)
Hi mummyof5 Welcome

Hi everyone,
Bexta, glad to hear you are excited about tomorrow.
I've spent the day cleaning the house getting ready for everyone tomorrow, but I'm sure by the time you all arrive tomorrow, it will look like a bomb has hit it again. I must go and find all my nappies to have out to show you, haven't been nesting yet so they are still packed away from when we moved.
I think most of the nappy makers here in Newy are coming so you will be able to pick their brains and see lots of different nappies. Don't forget to bring your favs to show off to everyone as well.
Well I'd better so and put away the washing from today (or I could just close the laundry door :) ) can't wait to see you all tomorrow.
Didn't want to post & risk driving you all mad!!!:p ;) :rolleyes: :laughing:
See you all later!!! (yes I know I'm up late... too excited to sleep!!! I'll be easy to pick out... I'll be the one with the bags under the eyes & the crazy look on her face!!!)

Bexta PMSL!!!
I have expected your post to say - YAY it's nappycino day!
I have been busy trying to figure out what Nappy's Nick will wear today. hehe. He woke at 6:30, just my luck - now he will be ready for a feed again probably just as i want to leave. lol. DD still sleeping :smiliedance: Hopefuly she will sleep for a while longer - then be in a good mood today.
YAY... it's nappycino day!!!:smiliedance: :laughing:
I know I'm crazy... but that's why you all love me!!! :laughing:
I have to apologise in advance if DS is whingy... he dosn't sleep well whilst out (if at all!)... & to top it off, his bum is bright red!!! Must be those 1st teeth coming through.
If he had some nice, soft nappies he'd be fine :D.

I'm sure we will be able to help him out there Bexta.
You will have to excuse Harry is he's grumpy this morning we had a huge fight with yelling and screaming about a shower and now I have to get him to the shops to finish off last min shopping. Lets just hope he's dressed by the time everyone gets here.
See you all soon.
Had a great day today guys!
Thanks for hosting Karina!!! I hope we didnt leave you with too much mess to clean up.
Bexta- enjoy the itti- use it and just hand it back when i see you next! Its all washed and ready to wear and my prediction is that next park meet. You'll be at the chemist stocking up! They are great nappies! Hope DS has a good sleep for you! Oh and i know im lovely- no need to fall all over me:laughing: (so sorry but i just HAD to add that):laughing:
I had a GREAT time!!! Next time I show up anywhere, I will supply you all with earplugs!!!:laughing:
You are lovely!!! & thankyou for the loan... I was going to wait to get a liner.
Yes... already at itty bitty site (can't help myself!)...
I bought 2 bamboo & a wool cover today & I'm in the market for a couple of magic alls.
Damn this 1 handed typing!!! bbl

Bec I had the opposite problem with my first, he cried like that at home but was always a happy chappy when we went out anywhere, drove me nuts.
Darn I wish I read this before your hubby came over Bec and I would have given you a liner.
That's ok... I just bought some itti's from Sue & mentioned the liners to her... BBL to tell you all what I've bought, gotta go to work!!!

Hi Guys
I'm not a clothie, and I'm not converting, but can I ask a quick question?
What nappy do you use when you go to the beach/pool? We spent heaps of time at the beach around Christmas and will again this year.
I have seen some Bright bots swim nappies, that are lined with terry and pva. Do you think that these sound good for the beach?
Sheer Bliss
25-08-2007, 16:45
Good question!! I have been looking at the swim nappies, trying to decide which one to get. But as of yet, have not made a purchase. sorry i can't help you...but I have been thinking the same thing.
H&B'sMum
25-08-2007, 16:54
So glad you all enjoyed the meet up and got to meet everyone else.
I used to use a swim nappy from Bubblebubs, and found it to be great, no leaks, brilliant.
Tan I found Charli's cup wedged in between the cushions today. If you give me your address I'll post it to you. Also I found another pink drink bottle with no name on it under the couch, if you are missing one, just pm me as well with your address and I'll post it to you.
See you all at the next nappycino.

How did I miss this thread?! I'm the biggest clothie addict there is :D
Has any one tried Nic naps or nappylicious nappies?? They both have some really funky looking AIO's and i was thinking of getting some. but thought i'd ask if anyone knew how good they were.
Nappylicious are my fave AIO's - I have 5 of them :thumbsup:
So how do you find out about Nappycinos etc...? I'd love to go to one :smiliedance:
Sheer Bliss
25-08-2007, 18:49
THANKYOU so much Karena for hosting yesterday!! Charli had a great time with your DS - she had a bit of a sook in the car crying out his name! It was really nice to see everyone - all those tiny baby nappies were making me clucky again, even though Nick is still so little - lol! Great news about the bubblebubs swim nappy, i have recently fallen in love with their AIO, so if i get a swim nappy from them it will be a great excuse to get another AIO.
I have sent you a PM about the cup - thanks.
Phin - Harry'smum put a post up a while back about the nappycino - just keep your eye out in the hunter threads instead of the cloth ones for it, since it is a local thing. Thanks for the info on nappylicious - i might have to order some. I'll let you know when i do in case you want some more - save on the postage! (i am such a tightbottom!!) Not that I need anymore nappies! Charli only has 2 per day now (nap & night) and if she is dry after her daysleep, i'll often put it on her the next day too, as she insists on leaving her undies on under her nappy for her sleep!
mamabearof3
25-08-2007, 20:27
Phin I thought I sent you a PM about nappycino?
I was going to offer my place when the weather warms for a nappycino but I figure with builders getting booked in very soon it may not be a very good idea at all. But we can always do a park nappycino again soon too I'm sure.
I'll put my hand up for the next one if no one object? Everyone welcome of course!!
Re- the swim nappies? A girlfriend of mine uses the itti outer. Say's its great and non restrictive on bubs and hold it all in. Only thing is that if say, your bub is in a large ittie then you would us a medium for a swim as you have no inserts in it.
Hope that helps.
The pink drink bottle is mine-well, Baylee's but you get the idea. Seriously, it was $2, dont worry about posting it- i'll pm u though.
IT'S MEEEEE!!!!!! HAHAHA!!!
I bought 6 Itti bitti's today!!! Sue said yesterday that she would cut me up some microfleece to use as liners too... I also bought some of that foamy wipes wash & dispenser too, anyone tried this stuff? AND I bought a wetbag in leopard print...
... & another Monkey Doodle Micro in chocolate/lime. What an awesome colour combo!!!
I ended up buying 3 bamboo Baby Beehinds yesterday with 2 covers. I'm going to use them for night only.
So all up I have 15 AIO's, 3 night nappies & 1 on loan from a hottie that I just totally fell for :laughing:. Still havn't started using them yet as I only have 2 so far... my fluffy mail will hopefully be arriving early in the week :fingerscrossed: & will wait till I get some liners so I can keep them nice :thumbsup:.
Thanks for your pm Tan :hugs:.
So the next nappycino is at Tanyas???? I will be a full time clothie by then!!!

Well we'll have to have another Nappycino :D
I've been busy sewing lots of nappies :yes: I've come up with a OSFA pocket that I like. I keep switching between liking sized pockets, and OSFA pockets. Then I decide I like AI2's better. Then I change my mind :laughing:
Who knows what I'll end up with!
But I need to make myself a wetbag - I'm cr@p at zips - does anyone think one would work ok with velcro?
ETA: Bexta, I know, how cute is it!! It looks like it's laughing after it finishes sucking!
Phineas- hmm if you need a tester for your nappies :wave:!!? I also think a wetbag with velcro would be fine. I mean, i would keep the stink out just as much as a zipper i would figure.
Of course we want you to come- oh and Bexta would talk the ears of ...hmm i dont know...she talks alot lol.
Thanks for the hottie comment too Bex. Lol- everytime i think about it cracks up- i mean there i was sitting there minding my own business and then BAM- i had you and your DS on my lap:eek:. Too funny.:laughing:

Wow Bex that's alot of nappies to buy in one sitting, good on you. Don't love it?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
I'll either give the drink bottles back at the next nappycino or next time I see Anne and they will get back to you.
I think it's a good idea too Tanya that we post about the nappycino's in the Hunter thread, because I don't go into the cloth threads anymore, I just check here. So I won't miss out next time like Phin did.
Have a great Sunday everyone we are off to Paterson for a picnic.

Woo Hoo!! I just ordered 2 nappylicious! (From ozebaby, but haven't paid yet, so if anyone wants any i'm sure we could add to my order to save postage). I had to strike straight away - she had a limited edition AIO flames nappy!! Plus i got a dinosaur one - DH likes dinosaurs (sort of like Ross from friends - without the formal qualifications - :laughing: ) so i figured a dinosaur one would sweeten it a bit for him - lol.
Have a nice picnic Harry's mum!
Bexta - i am busy PMSL when i think about how you 'fell' for Tan too! You must keep us entertained like that at all the meets please!

Hi Mamabear! Hope you're feeling better!!!
Are you asking me when the next Nappycino is on at my house Mummabear? Im not sure- it gets kind of confusing with two Tan's here-:laughing:.
If so- im easy (well, not really- though Bexta would have you believe otherwise:laughing:). Will we make it for a Friday again?
Hope you had a good picnic Harry'sMum!!
We have just had an easy day today- DH bought himself a Father's Day Present- a big bl00dy BBQ!:rolleyes:
We have just had an easy day today- DH bought himself a Father's Day Present- a big bl00dy BBQ!:rolleyes:My DH has been hinting at buying a HUGE one for ages... he can keep hinting!!! So when's the BBQ? We'll bring the fun!!! :laughing:
I had a giggle at your post & DH wanted to know what was so funny... so I told him & he's been laughing ever since :o. He wants to know if there's somrthing I'm not telling him :laughing:. I'm so sorry about that... I had the choice of the floor or you...!!!
Bexta- absolutely no need to apologise! It has cracked me up many times since Friday! It was great entertainment!!!:hugs:
Oh yeah, and when i say huge i mean it! 6 burners, rotisserie, stainless steel, wok burner (so does that make it seven?) and a space to put in a tap and sink! You have to be kidding me- i mean really? My sausages had better be damn good from now on lol*
I know I'm lazy... i'm just going to cut & paste these pics that I posted in the other thread that were taken yesterday of DS in his 1st mcn. It was lovely & soft on his red rump!!!

Bec I was going to respond in there but I love the black micro doodle on him, it's great. I should show you my black blueberry cover. it's supposed to be a pocket nappy but I jut use it a cover.
Oh there goes the alarm I got dh to set to wake me up from my nao. Time for the school run.

Thanks everyone we had a great time yesterday, but I over did it a bit and today my ligaments are really sore, so I've taken the day off work.
Tan Friday's work for me, just not this Fri, have a conference to go to in Syd which means I'm leaving home at 5:30am, OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! But it will be worth.
They all sound like great buys, I sewed up my prefolds this morning and if I do say so myself I'm really happy with them, the measure up nicely and look good, so I'm happy. Now to get covers and fitteds then I think I'm set for Baby wombat.
mamabearof3
27-08-2007, 20:30
OMG Karena ready for baby wombat already!!!!!!!!!
Then again I had ordered my pack from baby beehinds when I was 12 weeks pregnant.
What did you make your prefolds out of Karena. I thinkmy stash is about ready to offload my prefolds soon I have another friend who has contemplated cloth so I was thinking of giving her them and some of the small nappies I have too. Would rather offload them to someone not yet converted I think. Although I'd also like to hold onto them for my SIL and hope thet get pregnant soon, they've been trying for a few years now.
God, i am soooooooooo bored!
Dh is away for work, all the housework is done, the kids are asleep and now i am bored sh!tless!
Can anyone Pm me with some sites that have specials on their nappies atm?
I'm in some desperate need of retail therapy! Might try something new and get a wetbag. Any ideas?
mamabearof3

Not sure about specials. But I do know that a local just got the wholesale rights to blueberries. The person Bec got her micro doodle from.
I'm heading to Kotara to do some retail therapy, but need a baby gate.
You are welcoem to come clean my house and ease your boredom Tanya
Well im not bored today! I have 5 kids here and have to do the school pick up and get 2 more!! i will have 7 kids this afternoon!:eek:
The hoses and sprinklers (bad for water use i know, i know) are all set up for the after schooler's. I plan to take them all out the back and let them go for it!
So tonight when im on- if im a rambling idiot you'll kn0ow why:o

OMG Karena ready for baby wombat already!!!!!!!!!
Then again I had ordered my pack from baby beehinds when I was 12 weeks pregnant.
What did you make your prefolds out of Karena. I thinkmy stash is about ready to offload my prefolds soon I have another friend who has contemplated cloth so I was thinking of giving her them and some of the small nappies I have too. Would rather offload them to someone not yet converted I think. Although I'd also like to hold onto them for my SIL and hope thet get pregnant soon, they've been trying for a few years now.
I made the prefolds out of two layers of bamboo fleece with 2 layers of hemp in the middle 3rd. I then showed Nick how to put it in the cover and it fitted beautifully into my bb small cover. You'd think I had measured it?!?!?!?!?!?! Now for covers and some more fitteds and done. Trying not to go overboard with this bubba as I know I will be able to get great and yummy meds and larges when it's older, so mainly waiting for that.
Good idea Anne, about passing nappies onto someone who isn't converted, what a great way to recycle your stash.
:eek::eek::eek: No posts in here today????
Bexta must be working:laughing:.
But I do know that a local just got the wholesale rights to blueberries. The person Bec got her micro doodle from.She didn't mention anything to me when she was here yesterday!!! I did get an email from her today making sure I bought my Baby Beehinds from the right person... I had!!!
:eek::eek::eek: No posts in here today????
Bexta must be working:laughing:.VERY FUNNY!!! I KNOW YOU MISSED ME!!! I was working today... but DH suggested I have the night off last night (long story, but told him I was feeling a bit low about something BH related)... missed you all though & wanted to tell you all about what I have so far. Cranky I still havn't gotten my Magic Alls I bought off Monkeys Undies... will have to email her if no result tomorrow.
Quick question... when I pre wash my nappies before use... do I have to dry them in between washes??? I mean, can I just wash them, leave them in the machine & then wash again straight away a couple of times & then hang out to dry??? Know what I mean?
XO
You dont have to dry them in between- and if you have any in a bucket soaking ( i soak my poo ones)- put them in there between washes if you like- not for too long though- its no good for the elastic to be constantly wet if that makes sense.
Sorry about the bad joke- i was hoping you didnt take it the wrong way:o- glad you saw the funny side!!:yelclap:

I don't soak any. Not even poo one's just give them a rinse and then dry pail. You will get some good care instructions with your baby beehinds that apply for all cloth nappies generally.
Pre-washing, if it's bamboo just 3 washes is fine. First time with detergent, second and third don't need detergent and you don't have to dry in between as long as they have had a spin cycle.
She only got the email saying she got wholesale rights on blueberries on Tuesday.
If they are hemp then they really need 10 prewashes and hemp performs better if it has been dried between the washes.
In saying that just throw them in with your regular clothes washing for a couple of days and it doesn't take much for them to get their pre-washes done.

Bexta - YAY on your fluffy mail! I got some today too. A lovely AIO - all black with a dinosaur embroided on the back. Looks stunning. It's in the machine now! Can't wait to hear about yours.
I am also expecting 3 more lots this week! My nappylicious order, one from buy for baby & I bought some bamboo & am getting my sisters friend to make me up an AIO & a fitted, plus some boosters with the leftover material.
all black with a dinosaur embroided on the back. Looks stunning.I think I wanted that one (or it might have been a dragon?), but it was 'SOLD OUT'!!!!!!! Lucky you!!! Can't wait to see it on Nick!
Today I got 4 'Itti bitti's' delivered in person by Sue (so I could try on the Ergo). I got my 'Harley' Nappylicious nappy & the 2 Magicalls from Monkeys Undies.
Gee, what a productive day!!! Should be able to be fully mcn soon:fingerscrossed:.

My fluffy mail arrived today - :smiliedance: I got my nappylicious order, so i am going to wash them & he can wear the flame & dinosaur one on fathers day. The other was a red christmas one from buy for baby - but it's just got a puppy with christmas lights on the back - he can wear it once it fits without being too christmassy.
So ready for fathers day i will have one black with dinosaur, flames, blue dinosaur AIO's!! Hmmm one magicall will be dry, and i wonder what else?? Decisions, decisions! lol
Phineas - the nappylicious look thin (i can't remember what they are made with - will have to look....do you need to boost yours? Also for my little bubba i fold the top bit foreward? so it's the soft part still against his skin, not the PUL?

Thanks for the heads up Tanya! I went & bought the froggy one. Wasn't too keen on the other.
DS wore cloth all day today!!! He just got his 1st sposie put on then to go to bed!!!
We had 2 #2's (sorry if tmi)... the 1st was ok to clean, but the 2nd was a nightmare!!! Tanya, could you please tell me how to make the little squirt? :hugs:
What's the differance between medium & medium long (say when buying Rumpsters0? I gether the long have a larger rise... but what is that? Would I be better off buying medium longs?
Geez I'm hopeless at making sense!!!:laughing:
Here's the link for my lil' squirt! It costs next to nothing and works really well!!

Oh and on the poo nappies- dont stress- i spewed when i had to clean my first cloth poo:o.

Now I can start studying.

I found sme interesting items on ebay today... will pm tou both about it!!!
O... I bought 2 Bubblebubs today from Baby Blossom!!! They had heaps but the one I wanted (was even in my basket) was bought by someone just as I was checknig out!!! Talk about P!sse@d (P!sse@d) OFF!!! So whoever got that cookie monster one better watch out!!!:laughing:
Ahhhh *sigh*... to be able to talk cloth again!!!:o :laughing:
mamabearof3

Medium long is a higher rise. The rise means the measurement of the nappy from front to back through the legs. Some nappies are know as low riseand other's are high rise and some brands offer both options with the medium long.
The homemade squirt sounds like a great idea. Bec remember once they start solids it becomes easier becuase it just rolls off easily too.
Had another successful weekend away with only cloth. I really love knowing that I can have 2 days worth of cloth in a wet bag with no smells at all. Dh remembered this time to do the washing while I was gone. He's wonderful that man.
I just got my 1st 2 Bubblebubs!!! OOOooooooo... now I know why everyone talks about them!!! They are the decadent nappy!!!:laughing: I LIKEY ALOT!!! :yes:

It does get easier Bexta - did Sue tell you to putit on while standing near the bed or lounge to start with? That's what she told me - so you don't have to worry about feeling so awkward.
Yeah she did say that!!!:laughing: I would feel much safer!!!
I was naughty & bought 2 Wild Child day dreamers last night... have you used them? I was reading how they are super absorbent & was sold on the idea...

I bookmarked them in the hunt too so I could get some fabric laminated but haven't gotten around to doing that yet. Eventually.
How's the ergo going Bec?
I loved the Ergo! I'll try him on the back soon... can't work out how the backpack is supposed to join the carrier in that postion. The dvd wasn't much help (& I have the new model which is slightly different!!!)
Btw mamabear, did you get my pm?
Still don't know how to work the Nappylicious... will wait till I see one of you so you can show me how to use the snaps...
Ever get the feeling you're being ignored (http://www.bubhub.com.au/community/forums/showthread.php?p=1898588)? I was also trying to be helpful about using woolwash in a mcn thread & felt like I got my head bit off!!!

Hi Ladies,
Just thought I would pop my head in here too..... I'm moving back to Newcastle soon and sounds like you all know alot more than me about cloth!!
I'm doing my best to stick to them, but we started with Zappy's and Nature's Child and they aren't great, we still use them through the day.
But I'm sold on Green Kids at the moment.... but keen for suggestions on other good ones esp when I get back to Newcastle, I'll be on the hunt to expand my selection.
Hope you don't mind me butting in........
Hi Mel!!!:wave:
I'm not an expert on cloth either!!! At first I was like a bull at a gate as I was so excited!!!:laughing:
I had a wild child daydreamer on ds today... talk about absorbant!!! He wore it for 4 1/2 hours & still had room for more!!! I'm still a bit iffy about the snaps though... probably still used to the grip tabs of disposables???
Hi all!
I'm going to jump in here...hope you don't mind! I have 2 kids in cloth now!
Short intro...I'm Carmen, live in Newcastle, have 2 daughters, married to my highschool sweetheart and have been to 2 hunter meets so know some of you.
I won't be able to join in the nappy discussion too much...I'm a fuzzi bunz lover which I know aren't the most popular nappies on bubhub but they work well for us!
Ok typing one handed...hope it's ok to barge in..only one of my irl friends use cloth so it would be nice to feel normal sometimes! :laughing:

Congratulations on the birth of Arlia Carmen. What a great size, no newborn nappies for her.
I've been doing cloth for 8 years now, it was my babies 8th birthday this week. But I don't consider myself an expert at all. I know a fair bit about baby beehinds though, but always learning more too.
Welcome too Mel, Newcastle is a great cloth community, it's nice to meet others using cloth and having some people who don't consider clothies to be people with 2 heads and only ever spend our life washing nappies. :lol:
Hi Mel! Welcome to Newcastle! You will find lots of cloth enthusiasts here so a big:wave: to you.
:wave:Carmen! Nice to see you again! Congrats on the birth of you big baby girl! and of course we dont mind you joining in:D
I havent been using cloth all that long- about 6 months now- but i do love it! It has however, run me broke atm so im on a dh implemented buying ban!:eek:
I jut paid for a BBB and wool cover in purple:cool: and thats the last one for ages- or so i have been told.
I might sell off some of my peapods and and work around it that way:laughing:

Thanks for letting my jump in!
mamabear you're right...no newborn nappies for DD2! She's in small's....the same size as her big sister. It's crazy...since when were sized nappies supposed to last from 6 weeks until they were toilet trained. The rise on them on DD1 is low but they still catch everything (ok, need to get some boosters cause if she does a big wee they leak...to be expected really, she was meant to grow out of them at around 6 months of age) but anything bigger and they just don't fit.
Does anyone else find that Greenkids fall off? DD1 has 2 for bed time and I really need to get a different nappy cause the velcro comes undone and it's just a huge mess. I was looking at BBB's magic all in one's (or whatever they're called) but the reviews were really mixed. I'm trying to expand my range here....maybe I should just invest in some more FB's! We only have 30 of them!
mamabearof3
19-09-2007, 21:17
Magic all's reviews would be mixed as they are for average wetters so heavy wetters don't seem to suit them. Plus some people need the PUL to seal around the stitching area by a go in the dryer on a hot cycle. There is also a tissue test where you place a tissue at the front and back after you take it off and if it gets wet in both places then you either have a heavier wetter needing boosting or change more frequently.
The magic all boosters are available now too. I'll be getting one soon to test it out.

Hi,
ACE1 - I lurrve Greenkids at the moment, but only cause they are the best I have, mine don't fall off but I can see the potential, give me a few months.
Thanks everyone for letting me but in.....
I'm not sure of all the abreviations.... I think Mackenzie is a heavywetter and I need to expand my collection so Im not washing constantly, but they have to be Dad Friendly and preferably AIO's because Mackenzie kicks and screams at change time.
Any suggestions??
Mel and Chris- have you tried itti bitti's? I love them and i can pm you a store where you can buy one- rather than waiting for them to post! These are my current faves- i have 8 of them.:eek: They're also super trim so go under jeans etc that dont have much room!:yes:
Hi all!
I'm going to jump in here...hope you don't mind!Hi Carmen!:wave:
I had to change DS sheets after a big leak with a Magicall yesterday... it's not a nappy I would usually put on him to sleep, but he dosn't normally nap more than 20mins but had a huge 2 hour sleep!
I don't have a huge stash yet, but my DH has no trouble with the Itti Bitti's... but my MIL on the other hand only likes to put Bubble Bubs on him (she dosn't do the snaps up tight enough on the Itti Bitti's & he leaks on his clothes)

Roopee - I havent tried itti bitti's and would love some information on them? Maybe the shop and the website? Might be quicker for me to get some through the post, Ive still got 3wks before the move?
I was at a friends house today, and I must say it was a winning day for cloth, both her two year old and newborn strung a leak but my cloths were dry and absorbent:) Yeeyyy for cloth!!
I put an Itti Bitti on DS today before we went to the meet & totally forgot all about it (too busy :ecomcity: :o :laughing:). We got DD from school & then went to get a couple of groceries. When we got home (about 4) it had only just started to wick!!!

I never know whether I'm allowed to put links on here or not.
They are a great nappy and the maker is a local which I think is an added bonus

Itti Bitti snap-in AIO. Very trim & some great colours!!!
mamabearof3
20-09-2007, 22:37
The snap in AIO's with the bamboo inserts are the best in my opinion.
The fitteds or itti boo's are OK, but you need a cover from somewhere else. Yes they have been made in Newcastle, but I believe they are in the process of going into production overseas.
Nappycino's are great for meeting some nappy makers, suppliers and getting some of the sneak peek info of what is coming too.
Bexta - Which Itti Bitti was that?
Mummbear - Thanks Heaps, I have the site up, which Itti Bitti's are the best?
Are they made in Newcastle?
they are made here in Newey and the lady that makes them is fantastic! She is awesome!
The bamboo AIO (all in one) snap in's are the best- i havent had a leak in them yet and my two year old wears them to bed at night!!
The bitti boos are nice too- their minky and so lovely! I use a PUL pocket as a cover-but if we are bumming about the house- i dont bother with a cover- she just has her boo on and some babylegs.
Also if you like Baby Beehinds- i know the rep for the Newcastle area:cool: who is lovely and she will be more than happy to help you out.:thumbsup::laughing:
Thanks for the info regarding magic all's...I'd class DD as a heavy wetter so not sure they'd work. I got your pm to mamabear..thanks, I will keep you in mind!
I'm thinking I might leave my nappy purchases for her for a few weeks anyway....she did a wee on the toilet tonight! She even held on to go too...was running around the house nappy-less before her bath, let a couple of drops go, said 'wee wee' and DH raced her to the toilet and she went. Such bad timing to toilet train with a newborn but she's been wanting to sit on the toilet for the last 6 weeks or so...just hasn't actually gone before.
So I'll see if she progresses at all..I'm just going by her cues for now, no time to really push the matter.
Ok back to bed....first feed for the night over in 10 minutes. I have the best newborn baby ever!
I don't know if they are going into production overseas, the owner did mention to me that she just got her 1st major overseas order...? Anyway, the bamboo are awesome nappies... LOVE EM!!!
Tanya - DS has a 5 pairs of baby legs & I can't wait till summer!!! It's such a cute look! (He's worn them over jeans once (http://s181.photobucket.com/albums/x317/drkustoms/?action=view¤t=3halfmonths009.jpg)as I couldn't wait!!!:laughing:) Here (http://s181.photobucket.com/albums/x317/drkustoms/?action=view¤t=clothncars011.jpg) he is with the bones ones.

I only have one pair atm and considering the ban im on, im not about to get anymore soon:thumbsdown:- BUT- maybe if i trade one whole week of baked dinners or something- he might relent?:laughing:
Remember when your DH was away & I pm'ed you about that place 'Frock you'? They had 40% off? Well I got 3 pairs... came to about $10 each. The other 2 I bought from Blue Star when pregnant (I must have know it was a boy!)

I told her this morning - she wet her pants 5mins after she sat on the toilet & did nothing, that we were packing up all her 'Dora' undies and she could wear nappies again. If she is not using the toilet in a week's time - i will buy some more magicalls i think. Nice & easy to whip on & off for when she does decide to use the loo. So nappy buying here I come!! :laughing:
Nick is fast growing out of lots of his - but my recent love of bubblebubs have made sure i still have plenty. I am IN LURVE with the ATM. Sooooo easy, which is what i am looking for for now. I don't know how i'll go when itti do their listing this month though....will have to get some for sure.

Back away is such a good idea with some of the threads Bexta.
Tan I put it in an email to you but for others here it might be useful. Use your bamboo foldup or the trifold from the itti bitti or something else that folds to several layers nice and trim and pop it in her undies. It's then more absorbent, not waterproof but certainly helps save the furniture, floor etc. We did this with my middle child who insisted on undies before he was really ready for toilet training.
You could even do it with some of the cheap microfibre absorbent cloths from woolies.
It's actually more well behaved than I thought it would be!!! (still no going to post though!)

That question was up on the today show recently too, It came out in overwhelming support that disposables should be banned which was interesting.
I relpied to that post:o. ouldn't help myself- there is so much mis information out there. No wonder MCN's aren't mainstream.
I have my little one in sposies today as she has had a whole 200mls of prune juice to try and relieve her constipation and i do NOT want the mess that is sure to follow in my MCN's LOL.
Made it real easy for DH too while i was at work!
I'll BBL later- gotta go get the dinner on.
ETA- Anne- i seen the results of that poll and was really shocked at it. I had no idea! I thought that it would be a resounding no they would not be banned and was gobsmacked. Not in a bad way- was just shocked really. I didnt think so many would agree.
It's always the same pot-stirrers!!! Must be fum to watch a heated conversation!!! (I admit I like to watch!!!:laughing:) Anyway, I work in aged care & the amount of XXXXL sized disposables used everyday would really shock people! We have 4 HUGE industrial sized bins every week overflowing with what we call full wrap pads (nappies)... & the amount of food wasted & the water!!! The water... the oldies love to have taps running constantly whilst in the shower (they think it keeps the hot water running:rolleyes: can't tell them otherwise!!! It could be really hot & if that tap in the sink isn't running then they'll complain 'the water's too cold'!!!)

Hi,
I know I should probably ask this in the other thread... but are there water restrictions in Newy?? We are on Lvl6 here, 4min showers, maybe you could cut the water on the oldies at 4mins Bexta.........
Im not getting into that argument about sposies, because Im only a recent convert and it was more money based, so in a way I wish they were banned so my husband cant use them and we can save more money lol
But I think everyone should use Environmentally Friendlier disposables like BabyLoves Brand or Natures child........ we tried to.
Not too sure about the restrictions sorry...
As for 4min showers, Hubby is the only person I'm trying to get to do that!!!
mamabearof3
24-09-2007, 09:50
Mel it would be great if the big nappy manufacturers started making more environmentally friendly disposables. That would change things quite a long way, they still use 7 litres of water per single use nappy to produce too, transport uses a lot of fuel etc as opposed to transport of cloth just once so many environmental footprints which haven't been included in the comparisons.
No Newcastle isn't on any water restrictions, last time I looked our dam levels were over 80%. (that was before the storm in June) The dams have been built in the right places in Newcastle, unlike many other cities.
:eek: Didn't think about the amount of sposies used by oldies. maybe you might be able to get the home into MCN's Bex. :laughing: A least I don't work in the laundry!!! I think it's a bit different scraping poo off our own bubs nappies... :barf: . They used to use terry flats in the day apparently (& wooden commode pots that they would wash by hand & dry in the sun). YUKKO!!! & they didn't wear gloves back then... double yuk!!!

Ewww!!!
Well I am stoked!! I thought i was going to have to buy some more nappies to fit dd's big bottom, but i don't!! I can JUST squeeze her chubby bottom into a bubblebubs medium, nappylicious, bekky's medium and a size 2 kids in cloth i have for Nick!! I already had about 8 that were hers, so with those too (plus some BBH as a back-up) I have enough to put her back into nappies without buying many more! I might still buy a couple of magicalls as the velcro is easier - but at least i am only up for about $40-50, rather than a couple of hundred!

I am being REALLY lazy ATM, so love that they require no snapping or inserting, just grab from the washing basket & go.
I am trying to expand my colour range - so I got a orange microfleece - safari, a royal microfleece snowman, Teal shag with trains & a blue minky with cars. All with velour inners. I liked a few of the others, but i don't like flannelette inners, only velour - keeps his little bottom drier. I was on the computer at the right time, just as they stocked as the first time i looked the new ones weren't up. I think i was the second one through checkout!
I also got fluffy mail yesterday!! A widdlewuns blue flame - very nice! The boosters are only lay-ins, i wish they snapped in. :thumbsdown: But i guess i should reserve judgement for after i try it. It's on the line now.

Does anyone have blueberries? Why do people keep raving about them? Should I buy one? :D

mamabearof3
27-09-2007, 09:41
Tan you could part with one to get a pink camo blueberry.
I love my blueberry's because they are minkee and have a great colour selection. Side snaps pocket which can also be used as a cover instead that have a much nice fit than the berry plush (they puff at the tummy on my bub) Their minkee covers are a good price and the one size pocket minkee is nice too. Oh and I stocked up on a few training pants as nobody else does minkee training pants yet.
The velcro on the minkee covers are a little tough but otherwise good.
The rise on the side snap pockets is low which doesn't suit my bub so she is in a large but because it's side snap I can make it fit her legs nicely.
Happy to bring some of them to show you Tanya. I got heaps when they were on sale as but 2 get 1 free and the postage calculator was broken so it was only $2 from the US.
I can most definately see Cody in a pink camo one!!! :yes: :D
I have DS in a BBB & wool cover tonight for his 1st go at a cloth overnighter. :fingerscrossed: he has a nice comfortable sleep (those babies are soooooo soft to touch!!! Very nice!!!). I have a PUL cover too... any good?
I have a dilema... I bought 2 Bubblebubs a couple of weeks ago (the 5thish) & requested express delivery. I waited nearly 2 weeks & sent an e-mail through to see what the hold up was. She e-mailed straight back to say she didn't have my CC details. So I sent them through & also a note to say I had bought another Bubblebubs that day & could she pop it in the same bag? She said no probs & she wouldn't charge me for delivery. Anyway, I waited & waited & then I got the parcel.... but only the 1st 2 I ordered.... & she still charged me the express delivery??? I sent an email through saying there was one missing (I thought I wouldn't bother saying anything about the delivery charge as I'm a doormat :o)... She said she would send it the next day. 1 week later I get the other nappy & I looked at the invoice & she had charged me another $7.50 for express delivery??? WTF???
I think I need to say something but don't want to word it wrong as I'd still like to be able to buy from her again. Please help!!! Someone please pm me what to say (if anything) in an email? Should I just email her to say I got the extra nappy & 'By the way....' ?????
Dunno......:confused:
Tan you could part with one to get a pink camo blueberry.
Oh where do i get me one of those???? Could you Pm me the details please??????????
Bex- i'll think about that one over night an get back to you tomorrow in regards as to what to say!
Its probably an honest mistake but hmmmm....i would be tad annoyed too.
Someone in here might even know her IRL so that might make it easier.:hugs:
I spoke to her on the phone before she sent the 1st 2 through & we had a good chat & got on really well... that's why I want to word it properly as I like her, her products & don't want to upset a pregnant woman!
We had success with the BBB overnight!!!:smiliedance: No leaking.... actually plenty of room left (but he was really tired last night & didn't finish his before bed bottle). After he woke up, DH was just about to get him out of the cot when DS did a big poosplosion!!! All over his brand new nappy!!!

PM'd you Tan. Someone Bec has met will be getting them in stock soon.
Yay on the overnight success. Did the poosplosion stay contained?
Yep... contained! But I was worried it might stain so I chucked it in the wash with his sheets this morning!
Talking of stains.... I got a poo one one a white velour Bubblebubs... it went gey/blackish. I hung it in the sun ALL day & it's still there. Any ideas?
bex- maybe if you call and say something along the lines of- i received my nappies and they are so beautiful. Thank you so much. Just one thing, i noticed i was charged twice for express post. Is this right or have "we" made a mistake.
She probably doesnt even know she did it mate so dont be too shy.
I know i was in the same position when i bought some BB Magicall of a wonderful woman;) and had to bring up that i had received $10 less change than i should have- i didnt know how to do it but i just asked and we realised both of us had left our brains at home that day LOL.:laughing:
Oh and on the stain- leave it in the sun again today and if its not out rinse it again- no powder and try again. Oh and black/grey? What have you been feeding that boy!- KIDDING
Oh and Phin/scruffy/pavlov- ya gotta stop mate- i keep going to welcome the newbies LOL:laughing:

29-09-2007, 10:31
Yes Tan I've used them and swear by them for the nappies and other lightly soiled clothes. If I hadn't stocked up on detergent before I stopped working to have a baby I'd be using them more now. Not so great for greasy stains or tomato sauce stains but definately great for the nappies. I've still got 20 litres of detergent to go through first though before I get more. The sample only lasts about 4-6 washes which is pricey for so few washes but the bulk packs saves a lot of money.
Miss C is on her BBB tonight.
Her first ever night in cloth- i boosted it a little with the itti hourglass snap in and both bbb snap ins as well.

Sorry guys I forgot I had plans with dh today until I woke up this morning. At 8.30 mind you. Yay a sleep in that we've been waiting for.
Poor ozebaby can't cope with the influx. I think there will be lots of itti's coming though so if you miss out now there will be more I believe.
Lanolising and wool care. No don't wash in hot, that will shrink the wool.
Melt the lanolin in hot and then top up with cool water and then put your wool cover in it. Allow to soak for at least 30 minutes ideally 4 hours or overnight.
Lanolise every 3rd or so wash. Or when there is a urine smell still present after drying. It only needs washing every couple of weeks. So lanolise perhaps every 2-3 months.

I just read on another forum that some ended up being up at about 11pm but it was supposed to be set to off. But there will be another attempt at stocking tonight and there will still be some random stockings too. I was sure I heard that the place near our meet will be getting them too.

No such thing as greedy in the MCN world is there. :thumbsup:
The purple one does look very lush.

:crying: :crying: :crying: I am still devastated that some people (lucky buggers!!) got some. I was on that darn website for almost 2 hrs and missed out. What a waste of time. :gloomy: Oh well, I got the e-mail explaining, it was nice of some people to offer to have their order cancelled - but it's good that she isn't doing that. It's not their fault they were lucky. I can't believe i am bummed about missing a nappy (or 2). I SERIOUSLY need to get a life. :laughing:
On the positive side...fluffy mail arrived today!! My bubblebubs order - 4 more, so i can be happy with that for now, hehe. Another minky, 2 x fleece & a shaggy bubble - it is gorgeous!!
I'm not sure if I can make the listing tonight or not - Nick has been getting to bed at around 8pm, so i might have to wait for them to be in the shop, hopefully that won't take too long. Good luck getting some girls!!
Tan-would you like a personal shopper? I might be able to get the kids in bed by then and have a go for you? I feel bad that i fluked it and people who had been on there for hours missed out. Makes for a bitter victory if that makes sense?
I happy to shop for you hun!
On a happier note- i was at the store near our meet place that sells them and YES- they are definitely arriving there soon too!:thumbsup:

I might just wait until then.... I'm not sure I can go through the checkout & then change my name & CC details??? (Shhhhh.... my maiden name :o)

Thanks Tan for the lovely offer, but it's OK. I might just wait for the chemist, there is always the random stockings over the weekend too. I'd feel awful if you sat there for ages trying to get one for me. Don't feel bitter about your victory - it's great, enjoy it & just accept that we will be patting it whenever your little miss has it on. :laughing:
I can't wait to see it Tan!!! Did you get the Dark Crystal? Which one is that? What's it look like?
The blue one was sold out.... but there was 1 purple left! So that's what a dark crystal cavern looks like!!! You have great taste Tan!!! Anyway, I clicked on buy now & the bl**dy thing disappeared!!! Must have been snapped up just before I got there!!!:thumbsdown: Oh well.... I'll keep my eyes peeled over the weekend for the blue one!
Tan, there's still 3 Jaffas left!!!

I think I'm just going to have to get a red one for christmas. I wasn't going to but I just love red on my babies
Way to go tan!!! I think I am the only one to miss out :thumbsdown:. Never mind, I'll keep my eye out over the weekend!!!:D :thumbsup: I want the blue & the purple!!!:D
The Ozebaby site has crashed AGAIN!!! At least I have an excuse now :o!!!

damn and just when I had convinced myself a red was a necessity. Oh well can wait until I see it IRL
I was thinking the same thing... wait until it's at the chemist!!!
That was after I thought of going on at 9 to get them in the large sizes & put them away!!!
I have no life!!!
:smiliedance: Tan- oim so glad you got one!
Bex- So sorry you missed out hun! I loved the Dark Crystal so much= looks so lush! I cant wait to get it.
Bugger the site has crashed again!!!!! Mrs Itti Bitti must be getting frustrated!!!
Mammabear- your right! Red looks great on your bubba. I woiuld love the black too but think i might save the black for a Blueberry!
Hey Tan....! I showed DH the price of the Honey Boy! auction on Ozebaby... it was up over $200... now he thinks I should buy everything in sight!!!:laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Yup :yes: I got one!!! (well 2 actually!!) I had a blue one in my cart, but it disappeared. :crying: But got the jaffa. I was taking no chances of loosing another, so i checked it out & went back for a green. I'd like a red now too after mamabears christmas idea!! But i have a custom christmas one on the way, so i shouldn't (all sold out now anyway!).
I REALLY want a blue one.....a black might be nice too. :laughing: I should wait & try them before i go adding too many to the collection.
I think I am ready to have a big cull next week! With 4 new bubblebubs, 2 new ittis, I think i can offload some of my pockets. Hmmm of the top of my head, the small fuzibunz & bumgenious pocket can go. Maybe the small peapod too. I'll offer them up to swap if any of you guys are keen, but they are pretty small & not my faves - so probably not the best ones.
That's so annoying when you have something in your trolley & it just goes!!!:thumbsdown: The green looks awesome too!!!
Maybe a nappy get together with a swapsie might be an idea, Tan??? I'm sure others would have stuff they want to swap... 'One mans trash is anothers treasure'...

Great idea. I have a black blueberry and love love love it because I can use it as a pocket or a cover over the bbb. Much more versatile.
But the blueberry doesn't have a red only burgundy which isn't the right shade of red for what I want.
Patience mamabear I keep repeating "good things will come to those who wait"

:thumbsup: That is permission to buy.
