    Default need advice on osfm nappies

    I need to get some more easy quick dry nappies like pockets or ai2's. And as per usual I'm just confused. I like the idea of a osfm as our stash is mostly BBB and it's been great not having to get more each time she grows.

    GK and BG were recommended but have heard the BG elastic goes VERY quickly and the GK velrco comes undone easily. would prefer a snap. Have a haute and HATE it. so what's left?

    I have a Patooties OSFM with snaps. I love it and you can choose whichever fabrics you want for your inners and outers. Only problem is that she's really busy and it takes a while to get them...but worth it IMO.

    If you contact Green Kids and ask Sacha (sp?), she's more than happy to put snaps on the GK's.

    Personally I'd get GK's over BG's anyday.. for a few factors.

    1: The elastic does go quickly in the BG's.

    2: If using the same stash on more than one child at the same time, you don't have to resize Green Kids, but BG's have to be snapped up or down to size... which gets very very annoying as you have to stuff as you go, instead of having a whole stash stuffed and ready to use.

    3: GK Anytimes can be used at night as well.

    4: Customer service with GK is excellent, as the nappies are made by the comp... not imported from the US to retailers, So you can customise things a bit more... even ask for a larger nappy! (if needed)

    I have both... and Hautes, and Blueberry Pocket OSFA (which I LOVE.. but they're exxie... and you have to snap them up and down too) I actually really like my Hautes.

    BUT because I have 2 in nappies right now, a 16 month old and a 3 month old, my nappy bag contains only GK's... so I've always got nappies on hand to fit whoever needs it.

    with jimmy and OJ!

    I've only got one Patooties, but with another bubba arriving soon I'll definitely be ordering more. It's a really good fit, but has the snap up and down to resize the rise so probably not overly handy.

    I've got both GK and BG, and would go for GK any day of the week. The inserts are really good, not overly fast drying, but much quicker than an AIO. Their customer service is great, and my 20 month old takes off some of his nappies but has never done it with a GK on.
