I have decided to start with trying a couple of green nappies on ds before making a biggish purchase for new bubba. By the way ladies, I am going with these cos from everything I've read so far they seem to be the most widely recommended! Any thoughts to the contrary would be appreciated - but please try not to confuse me.
Now what I'm really posting for is to find out about inserts. According to the greens site you need a hemp insert for daytime and a hemp plus microfibre for night time. So I'd need to buy as many hemp inserts as nappies, right? Plus a few microfibre ones? Is there a cheaper way of purchasing the inserts?? I have heard about making your own.........does that work out significantly cheaper and where do you get the material?
BTW, how did you guys afford to get started??? I know they are way cheaper in the long run, but in the meantime I still have to buy disposables and save up for these!!
Oh, also, I don't need funtimes do I? Unless I just want them cos they're pretty?!

No you don't need funtimes. I have mainly anytimes, more secure.
With the inserts, I use microfibre in every nappy and boost with hemp. Yes I do it the wrong way around but I like it and it works. Can anyone tell me why you shouldn't? I have been making my own inserts. I have brought the fabric from here (http://www.bubbaearth.com.au/) . I can get about 7 insets for $8, rather than $5.50 each, so much cheaper.
I am just about to purchase some hemp to make those ones today, I'll let you know how it goes. Sorry can't fault the nappy, it's great.:thumbsup:
