Comparison, recommendations, advice please!

[the_queen]

I'm going to streamline my stash.
My niece is 6 months younger than Curtis so I can hand down the too-small nappies. And the time has come (the walrus said :laughing:) to hand some down.


So, I have a large stash of bamboo which will fit him until self-toileting, and those are my "night time" ones. They're fine, and I have plenty of woollies for over-the-top.

It's the day-time ones I need to get.

I had made the decision to get a bulk order of Honeyboys... BUT I now go to the website and they have these new Monkey Doodlez there :) AIO's but with a PUL outer. Rather than the fleece outer of Honeyboys. The one Honeyboy I already have seems to get suds'd up quite often and because of that, it leaks. I've always thought that Honeyboys are perfect except they should have a PUL outer - and that's basically what Monkey Doodlez are, right?

My question is: Does anyone have Monkey Doodlez (tee hee, obviously boy monkeys do... :laughing:) AND Honeyboys? Can someone please give me some recommendations in regards to MD's compared to HB's? Are MD's just as absorbent as HB's?

Thanks Clothies :)

*watches with interest, was going to ask the same question*

Oh, and another question (sorry for crashing your thread, queenie). Monkey Doodlez and Micro Doodlez? Which do you prefer? Is there a significant difference?

[the_queen]

Hmmm so Monkey Doodlez have a Doodlez cloth inner, whereas Micro Doodlez (hmm why did I just suddenly think about my ex husband? :laughing: oh me so immature) have a microfleece inner.

Hi nappy queen :D

I dont know the answer to your question but nappies I love are.....*takes deep breath*

Cuddlebuns
Bits for Bots
Berry Plushes
Beetlebums (just got one, verrry nice)
Dream-Eze
Baby Beehinds

In no particular order....:thumbsup:

[the_queen]

Sheesh, I feel like I'm so "out of the game" :laughing:

Ell, are any of those AIO's? I'm looking for AIO's for daytime use.
I have some pockets but I am tired of stuffing them and particularly tired of pulling the stinky stuffing out before washing.
I have some fitteds but I would prefer the quick-ness (is that a word?? :p) of an AIO, no covers to faff around with.

During the day Curtis is just go go go and he's beginning to be a horror at nappy changes, won't lie down, etc. So the quicker the better :D

Oh yay, he's climbing OVER the safety gate I just installed......... better go....

Well I can give you the difference.

Monkey Doodlez - micro and original are made in Canada, they have a PUL outer, and either an wick away fabric (original) or microfleece inner (micro) - they have a cotton absorbent layer. They come in plain colours only atm.

HB - well fleece outer, but you can get PUL ones too, and here in OZ a hemp absorbent layer. They have plain or coloured inners and tabs.

They don't fit quite the same, the MD have a slightly higher cut leg, trimmer through the crotch and larger waist allowance. Drying time, the MD are quicker, but less absorbent than the HB.

How's that :)

By the way, you shouldn't have a problem with the HB leaking, if you are, please contact the sellar, as something is amiss somewhere.

Only the berry plushes are AI2s...the others are fitteds...im a fitteds girl...

You HAVE to try a Berry Plush :yes:

I have tried a Honeyboy! it was lovely, but I dont like fleece really or AIOs or aplix....:p

Helloooo Bluey!! :)
I think the HB leakage is to do with over-sudsing, every time the leak has happened I've done a strip wash and it hasn't leaked after that. So sometimes perhaps I use too much washing powder, I think. Usually it's very good and I have no issues with it.

I did not know I could get PUL outer HB's!! OK well that definitely changes things.

Perhaps I'll get one of each and then decide after road-testing :detective:


And thanks Grem, I didn't see that thread the other day. That was helpful :)

[the_queen]

Oh I have heard of these wonderful Berry Plush's. They can be used as a cover, yes? But inserts can be snapped in, to create an AI2, yes? :detective: Might get me one of them too :D (Minke outer, yes?)

[stellarella]

yes, yes and yes :yes:

Ah excellent then :) Have fun deciding which way to go.
