Just curious to see how big others stashes are. Including any nappies you're waiting on.

Be honest :laughing:

Poll to come

27 so far,

Thats 20 AIOs in constant use, 5 sml AIOs waiting for the new bub (virgins) and I'm counting the 2 prefolds so far. But I've got to get a bunch of prefolds for when bub #2 comes.

I didn't count covers for the newbie cause they aren't nappies on their own - 3 here and 3 coming.

Oh bugger, i forgot about bub#2s terry fitteds, 6 of 'em. That puts me in the next option for the vote so i got it wrong oops!

Lets just say its 25 MCNs plus other bits for 1 and 3/4 babies.

I don't know exactly as I can't be bothered counting them lol but:

Roughly 20 BBH bamboo fitteds.
33 Mandy Mac Hemp.

I don't need anymore than that.

I thought way more people would have a lot! Once we receive our latest order we'll have just over 40, but I'm already planning on buying more and more! lol

I have somewhere between 60 and 80, I don't dare count. Think I have about 10(ish) on the way, and 15 of ours are too big and sitting in a box. I also have enough supplys to make about another 20! (atm 5 of our stash are home made, will be 6 tomorrow).

So not a HUGE stash, but definitely big enough, shame I can't stop buying (brought the retro hearts set from Gossomer dreamer last night when I really shouldn't have... oh well) There used in a good rotation, but I must admit some get more use than others (my CGR's, GF, and BoB's are in constant use, where as Ittis, Bambootys, and fluffy bubs get use less often). I like to colour code missy's outfit with her nappy, so we will see how we go :)

I started off to buy 7. One for each day. I now have about 55. (some here and some on the way)

Oh, just thought I would add, I was at nest nappies the other day and someone said something that is so so true. "There are two type of people in the MCN world, those that use MCN's and the addicts".

I think you will find on here that there's more users than addicts, where as other forums there's more addicts than users, hehe.

Last count I had about 70 but I have culled and purchased madly since then so I'm really not sure. I definitely fall into the addict category - I actually can't stop:laughing:

i've now got 25, ( swpped and sold quite a few i didn't like or didn't fit properly now) would love to get more, but since ds is almost 2 find it hard to justify...... when i went to the melb expo yesterday my dp asked what did you get? i said a swimmers and a nappy (even though i got 3) and he said "and you don't have enough already?????"

Ummm I have some for sale, and others ready to sell so I won't count those.

I'll have around 35 I think by the time I get what I need. But some of those are large nappies that I'm hanging on to for when this bubs needs them.

I love MCN's bu use them for their practical use. Once I have what I need I happily stop buying.

Once my recent purchases arrive, I will have 60 that will be in use (or will be once Bub arrives) but sitting around I have 75 as 15 are hopefully going to new homes as I don't need them any more :)

I have had and will have again 2 in cloth, so I like to have about 30 per child so I know I have enough if I get behind in the nappy washing or when they tend to take ages to dry in Tassie winters.

I've got 14 and 3 on the way, so 17. That should be enough to do me full time if I keep up with the washing.
I can't believe how many some of you have. I love my mcn's, but definately a user, not an addict :D.

Close to 50 I think, but not over... yet. Obviously not counting in the million flats we have around :barf:
And I'm making more, which isn't a problem for DF where as buying more is apparently :laughing:

I only counted my MCN's - About 15 in a combo of pockets and AIO's, plus 12 fitteds, plus 3 pocket trainers that my 3yo uses at night.

Should I have counted terry flats - I didn't as we haven't used them as nappies for this baby! Just wipe & spew cloths. I have about 30 of those... they were my first nappies... can't believe how far we've come!:laughing:

I rekon over 150! :o Much more than I need, but that is also for newborn twins (well, they are 5months old now, and i do need to cull the smaller nappies and pre-folds) and a 2yo.

I have about 25 pre-folds, 20 tots bots smalls plus a tonne of itti's about 20 bubblebubs of various sizes and just got 8 more bitti boos! I had a heap already from DD1 & DS1, and then when i found out I was having twins she gave me all of her DD's nappies as she could no longer wear cloth due to re-occurring rash!

ETA: the other part of me having so many is that I don't expect to always be able to stay on top of the washing...with 4 kids 4 and under, I sometimes get behind!
