Help! Still confused after six months lol

The least bulkiest would prob be AIO's, but I prefer pockets cos u can adjust the absorbancy to suit. Never find that AIO's last as long as my pockets- we use trifold hemp/microfibre inserts from ecobubs.

I know quite a few bubs around 1 year + who can now undo aplex fastenings, so have to only use snapped nappies,..so bare that in mind when buying the next lot! Isla is 17 months and doesnt do this tho.

And encase u read this Emma, yes we are back in cloth,...had 7 weeks mental health leave from cloth and went to sposies! Good to be back! Lol

Haha! Yeah I didnt like them as much until I borrowed some of Emma's ecobubs inserts. Found these hold way way more than just mircofibre, and are slimer.

Other companies make them too, but I havent tried any others. You will be able to use the inserts from your smalls in the larger pockets too, so you will be saving $$ there! Lol!

I think that for simplicity and trimness you can't go wrong with a mf/hemp combo trifold. Foxybots sells them and they're brilliant (probably similar to Ecobubs?). It's all in one and is much more absorbant than mf alone.

My favourite daytime nappies for trimness are Honeychild or Fuzzis. But my favourite nappy for nights (and still very trim!) is a Foxybots minky pocket. The hidden waterproof layer is better than any PUL I've seen before and has a HUGE pocket for boosting overnight. I use a Foxybots mf/hemp trifold with a Nix-Kidz hemp fleece trifold underneath. Leo goes 13hrs overnight in this nappy.

Just wanted to add... you don't have to be good at sewing to make your own. I haven't sewn since I was about 12 (and I wasn't any good then!) and I managed to make pocket nappies which are working brilliantly, I got the instructions from the nappy network website. It had photo instructions which were totally essential for a sewing/nappy virgin like myself. My first nappy was a bit of a flop because I was trying to get the hang of sewing elastic... but apart from that, it worked wonderfully and surprisingly well. However you have to order the PUL online, and I bought the inserts instead of making them, but it still worked out to be about $8 a nappy and in the end it would take me about 2 hours to complete one. But as I said, I'm not a sewing person... I'm sure it would take someone with more confidence quite a lot less time.

Oh Nikki - you just made me laugh so much I nearly spat my tea all over the keyboard!

Nikki, thats actually not a bad thing with the way he is moving around these days. Maybe I should sew hook velcro on all his clothes.

I wonder if she'd fit ditto's pattern... I had a mum from TNN make me up some for a swap and they are great. They are a really nice OSFM nappy which is really trim. They fit better than most of my sized nappies!! I think they're a small-large medium, so should fit your girl.

You'd have to join TNN and PM Ditto if you want the pattern, it's free, but not public.
