Today is the day that I have to throw out 3 PUL nappies :crying: :laughing: its a sad day!!

They have lasted for about a year and a half and have been washed either daily or every second day......is this the normal life span?

The good news is now I can buy some more :D

2 are sandra's side snap's and one was a greens.

They have lasted really well then, on 2 bubs.

Now I am going to have to decide what to buy next......decisions, decisions.

:eek: No offence or anything, but I thought for the price you pay for MCN's, they would last about 15yrs.

No offence taken:D but I think over 300 washes for $22 a nappy is great value!

I guess so. :yes: I was just always under the impression that they would last for years and years.

It just shocked me as I am still using the 4 dozen nappies that I paid $80 for 10yrs ago and I'm using them on my 4th baby, lol.

fitteds would last years and years, I bet your PVC and PUL covers and pilchers haven't lasted like your terry flats? Because thats what they are comparable to :yes:

:yes: although saying that I have had 4 fitteds lose shape around the leg after only half the time as the PUL. My fleece pockets have been the best by far!
