fitted nappies for toddler

[carshazzie]

Hi everyone,

We use terry flats on our son who is 20 months and my husband has trouble putting the nappies on him and gets frustrated and tries to give up and put a disposable on him when I don't want him to.

I love the terry nappies they don't leak and do a great job, but so I don't have DH going to the cupboard for a disposable because he's given up, is there any fitted nappies that anyone could recommend for a toddler?

Thanks.:thumbsup:

I love baby beehinds bamboo nappies:thumbsup: DH loves them the best too, really easy and great at doing the job:yes:

BTW: can I ask what fold you use with the terrys? I love terrys too, but I find they do leak sometimes, especially runny poos... but in saying that, I tend to not put a cover over the top, so that could be why:rolleyes:

There are many nappies suited to toddlers. One size nappies can fit 2-3 yr olds, and there are also sized nappies.
If you like the terry flats, then fitted's would probably be right down your alley.
Baby Beehinds are a one-sized nappy.
Bumgenius are a sized nappy - largest fits about 14kg
Bambineo fits up to 20kg (sometimes more)
Motherease have various nappies

There are many others aswell.

Thanks for the recommendation.

I use a fold called "the poo catcher" it's was recommended to me by The Nappy Lady - www.thenappylady.co.uk (http://www.thenappylady.co.uk/) I also use either plastic pilchers over the top or one of those nappy covers, brand name Cutty I think from BigW.

depending on the toddler you might be better off getting sized nappies rather then one size, if they are on the larger size?

My toddler who is 2.5 is on the larger size, and the Baby BeeHinds bamboo only just fit him, to the point where sadly I have to use other alternatives. The old stlye hemp are great though they have lots of stretch, not sure about the new style hemp.

A New Blessing has them on sale at a really great price, and free postage if you spend $50.

Otherwise like others have suggested size 2 tots bots, although they aren't as absorbent, but if terrys are working they should be fine. Why not try some wahms too, maybe contact some of them, Bits for Bots, Pookey Pockets, Beetlbums, Twins in Cloth.


If you just browse the nappy stores you should find some really great nappies :yes:

My 2.5 year old (17kg) mostly wears pocket nappies from Nappies Covered. He has had the same nappies since he was about 6 months old, and they still fit him as they are very adjustable. No need for covers or anything, just some hemp & microfibre inserts for the pockets - you can add extra at night to go the distance too :thumbsup:

If you like your terrys there are large and extra large snappy nappies at the wee wuns selling for $10 ea on sale, maybe try a couple of those?

Thanks for the recommendation, I have just bought some of these, seem like good value for money. Hopefully they will do the job.
