polar fleece trackies as nappy cover?

[jembelina]

Quick question..........

Can I use polar fleece trackies as a nappy cover for flats and fitteds?? Remember reading something about this somewhere.............

[Shanaynay]

I don't see why not because I saw polar fleece longies for sale earlier today somewhere!

I can't use wool on my DD because she has eczema and wool is an irritant.

I have been advised to try polar fleece trackies eg. the Bonds ones, although I havent tried them yet:fingerscrossed:

[jembelina]

I'll give it a go then! They just sit in the bottom of the drawer atm for emergencies - they're a bit daggy!lol! But for around the house with flats, who cares!! I don't think they are great quality fleece though(mil picked them up somewhere cheap!) so we'll see.

Yes! I've posted about this before - I use Bonds polar fleece trackies as longies over fitteds during the day. No leaks or dampness yet, they work a treat :thumbsup:

Haven't tried them at night yet but with cooler nights coming up will probably try it shortly...

[mum33]

you can do that??? well you learn something new everyday....will remember this when i buy m big package of fitteds. :D

[jembelina]

Good to hear! My mum just bought ds a pair and is sending them on monday with our easter stuff......he,he,he, more fluffy mail!!! Have you used them on car trips? Will I get compression leaks? Curious about fleece in general really as I havn't used it yet. Thanks!

[~Kimba~]

Haven't used them on a long car trip so I can't say about compression leaks...would imagine that it could happen though, as most fleece is a bit prone to it.

Oooo but you have those gorgeous Llamajama longies you won at an auction- they would be my choice over fleece anyday!!

Regarding the OP, I guess if it has none/very little cotton content, it would be fine, as cotton wicks. I'm not a fan of polyester against skin though (over a nappy is a different thing).

Can someone tell me where to find the Bonds polar fleece trackies ?!?!?!?!?!

I have tried my local Big W, as well as Best & Less so far with no luck .... Might have to get you guys to buy em for me !!!

Fleece isn't waterproof, but is very much water-resistant. It's a good thing- helps with air circulation. But makes fleece prone to compression leaks at times. :yes: The better the fleece though, the better it works- Malden Mills fleece (300wt and WindPro) is just so amazing- it is worlds away from the fleece used in clothing.

No they are cotton they have to be polar fleece to work.

And i agree with what pookie said about compression leaks heh

Maybe i will just buy some fleece & makes some myself :detective:

The only place I've seen the Bonds polar fleece trackies are at Myer. They seem to have the full Bonds range rather than Big W or K-mart who just have bits and pieces of the range.

well that figures. i never even bother stepping foot in that shop...lol....bit expensive for me....are they much dearer there than say kmart or somewhere like that??

[oleander]

I would assume they wouldnt want to mark it up too much more than the other stores or nobody would buy it. From memory I think they were around $15, definately no more than $20 but I cant recall the exact price.

Also, I'm in Adelaide and various states could differ. They probably have them in your local K-mart. My local K-mart is pathetic.:thumbsdown:

You could also try ebay and see if you can pick up a pair a bit cheaper:idea:

big thanks :thumbsup:

longies are great but i like that there is another alternative too....:smiliedance:

[♥Heaven Sent♥]

Oooh awesome that means that i dont have to buy lots of longies and i can just buy polar fleece pants :)

Thanks for starting this thread op.

LOL but they're still a little bit too big for him - just waiting for him to grow into them! They're also really heavy wool so it's been a bit hot for them yet. Bring on winter :D

BigW at Miranda is where I got mine. Not sure if they sell out fast though, the last time I was there they seemed to have heaps of everything for winter, so maybe they'd just restocked...that was a month or two ago now.

I have a good quality snowboarder pair which I picked up at an op shop.
I prefer wool of course cos Av has mild eczema so I prefer natural materials.

[jembelina]

My mum is in Perth and she managed to get the bonds pants in her local Best and Less. I think it's pot luck with where you can get Bonds stuff, nowhere seems to get it in very big lots and they sell out really fast - I always seem to miss out!
btw - I tried the el cheapo 100% polyester polar fleece trackies I had over a terry flat this morning. They worked fine, not even a bit damp on the inside and no smell. However, I wont be using them over a flat again though, the nappy ended up a bit skewiff!! They'll be good over fitteds though.

[Shanaynay]

I was out shopping the other day and saw the cute new Bonds polar fleece trackies at both Big W and Best and Less.
If anyone wants me to get them for you and send them to you I'm happy to do so :)
