What made you convert to MCN??

[babytoo]

Just read someone elses post about how they were wondering how many people were converted by just reading posts on here.....got me thinking....how were you converted to MCN??

Me...well I was on here and always ignored the CLoth Nappy threads but one day I accidentally opened one and that very night I ordered my first trial pack of Green Kids! I had no idea what I was in for....but never one wanting to miss out on anything...here I am 6 months later a Modern Cloth Mum!!!

Thanks all the lovely Bubhub MCN users from then.....:smiliedance:

I was actually doing a net search for something else to do with terry cloth when I came across some organic cotton fitteds.
That's when the searching for other fitted's started and I became hooked!

Same as you Babytoo. I was very ignorant to the cloth threads to start off with but then i got bored and opened up some of the clothie threads.. saw the link for GK's and from that moment on i was hooked! :yes:

So BubHuB did it for me!

I can't remember exactly, I think it kind of 'seeped' in slowly rather than an epiphany type thing. I was looking at eenies for ages when I was first pregnant and then I can't really remember what happened...

oh yes, hang on, I talked to allyoo about Greens and we arranged a meet up and I saw them and ordered some and that was what happened.

Sort of bh in a round about way. I am a little addicted (!!!) to knitting. I like to talk about it and mentioned it on another forum. Another posted about a soaker. I had no idea what is was for so knitted it in cotton along with a singlet. Then I saw bhers were knitting these soakers too. From there being a practical person decided I better put a cloth bum in these soakers I was knitting.

I had planned to use MCN while I was still preg, I had seen advertisements in magazines for EzyNappy and the other Italian brand. My SIL had some EzyNappies she tried on her son, unsuccessfully, but she passed them on to me to try.
As I was a BH member I did as much research I could and ordered covers, soakers and a few different types and styles of nappies.
When Hugh was born I did use the EzyNappies as well- there is no way they would have worked without a cover- I saw quite easily why my SIL gave up on them! But I worked out from trial and error what worked for us and what didn't.

I must send a huge thank you to all the ladies who helped me either directly answering a question or indirectly by writing a recommendation or a steer clear!:hugs:

Another bubhub mum!

Once i had a peek at the greenkids website i was hooked!

Here of course. Everyone here talks up cloth nappies so much and it got me thinkin when I was pregnant. Origionally I brought some fluffys terry fitted nappies and they wernt for us so started using sposies when ds was born, than i seens terrible red mark on his legs where his sposie had been digging in and "NO WAY" was that going to be be a regular accurance. So now he is in nice plush, CHEAP, ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY AND JUST PLAIN FUNKY MCNS" :D

I was going to use cloth for ennvironmental reasons but assumed there was just flat nappies.

Wasn't until I came on here I found out about MCN.

Love them!!

I discovered BabyBeehinds from a different site but unfortunately finances haven't allowed me to invest in more than a trial, but after meeting a wonderful mother from one of the forums and seeing her MCN's I will very soon be a full time Cloth mum. :)

Thanks, you know who you are!

I was actually talking to pukky and we decided that we were going to make nappies out of cloth that looked like 'sposies.
I was quite dis heartened to see they were already around hehehe

[MummyCharmzy]

I went to the PBC expo last year and saw Fuzzi bunz I thought they looked amazing but I wasnt totally convinced, I came home and started researching, fell in love and so the story continues! I think I've been using MCN for 14 months now, since DD1 was 3 months :D (wish I'd discovered them sooner though!)

I don't know really... I found this http://www.rwh.org.au/wellwomens/whic.cfm?doc_id=7691 it came up in a google search I was doing for something entirely different! I was totally shocked..I believed all the myths about cloth nappies! I looked up more about the environment impact of disposables and thought that there is no way I could contribute to that. I thought I would have to use flats, but still would for the environment and then I just went mad researching :o ... I was about 25 weeks pregnant. Bubhub gave me lots of info! Thanks gals!

I found that link aswell, Ikis84, during one of my searches, but haven't been able to find it since! I'd be interested to find out how their study concluded and what the difference would be if they factored in the modern way of washing nappies, as their washing used alot more water than needed (due to soaking and the costs involved with napisan).
