 Topic: Pocket change nappies

Just wondering if any one knows anything about these? I just found them at www.bumbles.co.nz I just wondered if they are any good and if the inserts move around at all as they have a front and back opening??
Thanks

they leaked like nothing else i've ever used. the inserts never stayed in place......lovely colours but that's all they have going for them!

I agree I hate mine, the insert is always poking out the front or back. The insert you get with is is pretty good but thats about all they have going for them.

Sounds like a new Mommy's Touch nappies with the pocket opening at both ends. My sister has them and I hated stuffing them as they seemed really awkward - I could never get the insert in the right place! They are supposed to be so you can throw them in the wash without removing the insert first but my sister says they have a mind of their own and it's the luck of the draw as to whether the insert comes out in the wash or not!

Thanks ladies, I thought that the whole double opening thing might be a bit of an issue. It's great to be able to ask you all before buying something as I am new to the whole cloth nappy thing.
I need to just commit to something as I keep looking at different ones then procrastinating trying to decide if they will be any good. I need to just purchase some and get going or Harry will be toilet trained before I decide!!

What have you tried so far? Maybe we can help you decide? I don't think you can go wrong with a basic pocket nappy like Fuzzi Bunz, Honeychild, Foxybots or Harmony Naps. If Harry is of average size then he could probably fit into a medium which would last him a while (or even til TT for some!).

I found it quite good to experiment with a few different kinds, rather than just buying up a bunch of the same ones. Although it does mean you don't get the bulk order discounts.

I have an ecobubs wool pocket which I am finding really good but have to stuff it with 2 inserts for night so it is quite big but am wondering if I could use 1 and then a hemp layer or something to make it thinner but still absorbant?
i had a trial fuzzi about a year and a half ago for my daughter which I thought was really good but was thinking I would like to get NZ made. Although I do like the look of the new Fuzzi's.
So,
I am deciding to maybe go with Honeychild or ecobubs daytime naps. My only worry is with the HC is that he will grow out of them too fast as the medium goes to 10kg I have ordered a trial one to se what the fit is like. Ecobubs go to 12kg. The HC nappies will take 3-4 weeks to get here which is a pain.
I actually went to order a retro print foxybot last night but there isn't any on there anymore. Do they come with an insert or do you buy them seperately?
Harry is around 8kg at nearly 5 months so not sure how fast he will grow. His sister was never a big baby so hard to know.
Thanks for your help, I look forward to your advice on the above.
Thanks
Katie

I've got some more retro dot fabric to make harry a nappy if you wanted (just haven't got around to getting them finished). The inserts are seperate. I sell them seperate just because so many people already have tons of inserts and don't need more 
Only needing 2 inserts for night time isn't bad. We need 3 trifolds and that does him 13hrs. using more hemp though is better and trimmer than microfibre though

It's quite normal to have a bulky nappy at night as you are needing a nappy to last 3-4 times as long as it does in the daytime! The bulkiness never seems to bother babies at night though so I wouldn't consider it a problem.
I really like HC nappies but I think that Foxybots and Fuzzis are more generous in fit. I haven't tried a medium Foxybots but Leo is in a large at 13kg and still wearing them on the tightest waist popper and second-tighest leg popper. Plus the fabric is GORGEOUS!! They are really well made so if you're looking for NZ made you should definitely give them a go.

Thanks to kebakat for helping me with the foxybot, can't wait to put it on Harry when it arrives.
