I wish I had one of every single brand of nappy so I could give an accurate answer :D

I love Tots Bots bamboozles. I've only got 2 of these and we use them for night time. They are ultra-absorbent, yet very trim fitting, they dry quicker than BB bamboo's (I do love BB Bamboo's though).

During the day I like pockets. I don't have many pockets, 4 only I think, I have lots of fitteds, but I like pockets because the poo rinses off easily (so no need for a liner) and they dry quickly, and I can stuff it with anything really. Plus pockets are usually cheaper.

I like the idea of AIO's in theory, but in practical use I like pockets best. But I have quite a few fitteds, BB's and tots bots and I like them too. They work well, easy to use (because, while pockets dry quickly and are good because no cover is needed, they can be confusing to explain to others how to use them).


I have a VBSN coming and I've heard such wonderful things about them, so I'm sure I'll revisit this thread in a few weeks to let you know how fabulous it is!!

Greenkids

Why?
value for money, great product, easy to use, they have a free repair service, fits newborn till toilet training.....

Do you prefer fitteds, pockets, AIO or flats?
Pockets for night & out, flats for everyday

Why?
Flats are just so easy to use, i just use PVC or fluffies pilchers. Folding them is fun (yes i;m a freak :p)

What do you think is the best value for money?
Greenkids

What do you think is the best product, regardless of price???
Greenkids

Whats your fav cloth Nappy?

I actually have two....is that allowed? LOL

Cute Tooshies Cuddlebuns Quick Dry fitted www.cutetooshies.com.au
BabyBeehinds Bamboo www.babybeehinds.com.au

Why?

I love the Cuddlebuns for their trim crotch and quality materials ( I have a candy pink velour with a lime green velour inner and it is soooo divine). The other cuddlebuns ones I have are made from Sherpa.
I also like fact they are front snapping and fit my chubby little girl (side snaps dont seem to fit very well on her shape).

I love the Babybeehinds Bamboo because it is so soft and absorbant. Its also a great night nappy.

Do you prefer fitteds, pockets, AIO or flats?

This week I am loving the fitteds, but I do have lots of Green Kids Pocket & MissyMoo pocket nappies

Why?

I like the fitteds with covers for the trimness of them and they are so damn cute especially when covered with the Andy Pandy Bummis cover.

I like the pockets because they are just as easy to use as a disposable. Just pop the bum on the right spot and do up the velcro tags.

What do you think is the best value for money?

Hmmmm I think both are great value. Sorry I am not much help there.

What do you think is the best product, regardless of price???

I think the Cute Tooshies Cuddlebuns are great value as you have a bigger choice in product fabric range.

we started using flats. they worked fine from birth (huge bum on a newie!!) but leaked a few times. still use them, but not for going out.

have a few zappy nappy's. they are great! fit quite trim, cute patterns, no leaks yet. they need a pilcher as well.

my green's trial pack came in the mail todat!:yelclap: so hopefully they are as good as everyone raves about!

Tots Bamboozle...trim fitting, silky silky silky, fits like a dream..and did I mention how silky it is? They've got enough absorbency to get us through the night too.Anything bamboo really!

Do you prefer fitteds, pockets, AIO or flats?Why?
Fitteds mostly, because I love our wool covers for maximum breathability and the extra absorption they offer, naturally. We prefer natural fibres hands down. we use the odd pocket for going out (a bumgenius at the moment, that I'm trying out, and it's pretty popular in the stash. )
All In Ones, I'm not such a huge fan of, and flats are simple and brilliant (in bamboo:yes: )

What do you think is the best value for money?
Tots are great value, and not one of the more expensive nappies.
What do you think is the best product, regardless of price???
Wool covers; they are brilliant, and worth investing in good ones. Make sure the wool is excellent quality. Just in terms of value for money, flat nappies are the way to go:thumbsup:

Unfair question :p What I love best about cloth is the versatility and that I can customise it to suit DS at each of his 'stages'. If I had to narrow them down:

Tots Bots size 1's for the newborn to 6 month phase when they are doing those horribly explosive bf poos. The terry loops of the fabric are super poo catchers LOL and the snappi-ability (is that even a word?) means that the fit is perfect over a wide range of body types.

Pockets are great because they can dry quickly and you can adjust the amount of stuffing for what you need eg. more for overnight or something very trim for at home. They are also easy for other caregivers to use if you prestuff them.

Honey Boys are just a gorgeous nappy and deserves a mention for just being them :) They are super easy to use for DH or grandparents with no pre-organisation needed from me.

Erica's Hemp Blends with cute cotton print outers. They are a great fit for us and perfect for summer when I want to go coverless and show off.

Why?
I think I already explained it above

Do you prefer fitteds, pockets, AIO or flats?
They all have their good points so it's handy to have some of each (am I an addict or what!). We use mostly pockets these days.

Why?
Ease of use, trimness and fast drying.

What do you think is the best value for money?
Can't beat flats for best value but if you compare to disposables, even the most expensive cloth system works out cheaper.

What do you think is the best product, regardless of price?
Sorry, can't choose :o
