And Bizzy might just have convinced me to buy MORE nappies! It took a lot of convincing, honest! But there is now a sml Retro Flower Drybee and a sml Pink Monkey Bubblebub on their way to her house for my wee bump.
Oh and while I was at it, I might just have tripped over Foxybots and bought some breastpads and some cloth liners... -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Yes... I had a similar accident at Busy Behinds and Tweedle yesterday  Seb will soon have 17 pockets/fitteds/AIO's... oh well at least I'm prepared for winter  And a few unbleached prefolds for back-ups... not that I have been down to needing back-ups in a while.-------------

I am sure he doesn't have nearly as many nappies as each of your gremlins though  -------------

Only 17? He needs MORE! The gremlins have *cough* 50 *cough* or so each  ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

 The situation is worse than I thought! I figured they might have 50 or so between them!!!
Yes I am sloooowly adding to his collection now, but only ones I really want to try or prints I really like, or really good sales (this is usually at least one a week)-------------

Oh yes and those new ecobubs look gorgeous... I know I'm not going to be able to resist getting one when they come in. Chocolate and baby blue here we come... only problem is Seb is sort of between sizes in Ecobubs. medium fits, but not alot of room to spare... large might be a little big.
I can just picture the gremlins burying little Iggle Piggle in a sea of fluffy nappies when she arrives - watch them! -------------

I tend to get carried away, for example we have 12 Happy Heiny's, 10 Tweedles, 10 Fuzzis and 8 Bubblebubs which is like 4 full nappy stashes, plus a heap of randoms like some Ecobubs, Drybees, Honeychilds, Foxybots...
I *might* have preordered Iggle Piggle a ruby stripe Ecobub... ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

My stash is rather... mixed
I've got 1 wigglebums, 1 bitti d'lish, 2 berry plush, 2 tweedles, 2 snazzi fitteds, 1 ecobubs pocket, 1 ecobubs fitted pocket, 1 foxybot, 1 Baby Beehinds Bamboo Fitted, 5 homemade ditto's pockets (not made by me! I can't sew) 2 designer bums merino covers, and 1 aussienana soaker. On my wishlist atm (wish I had more money to spare before the GDUNH ends  ) is a snazzipants AIO, a chocolate/baby blue Ecobubs, a blue flames print wigglebums which should come out soon, and another bitti d'lish.
All in various sizes from medium to large I feel sorry for Mike actually when I read that list! It's a wonder he manages to put stuff on the right snaps...-------------

LOL Willie will only use aplix naps and only if they are prestuffed.
I haven't done a stash round up for a while but from memory I have in medium: 12 HH's, 10 Fuzzis, 10 Tweedles, 8 Berry Plush, 8 Bubblebubs, 2 MOnkey Doodlez, 2 Snazzipants zebra minky AIO's, 2 Drybees, 4 Ecobubs wool pockets, 2 Honeychilds, 2 Foxybots, 4 Baby Harmony's, 4 pockets made by Manda from TNN, 6 pockets made by Debbie Reynolds, and more that I can't remember, plus 6 Bravo wraps and 2 Real nappies covers. In small for Iggle Piggle so far I have 4 Fuzzis, 3 Baby Harmonys, a Berry Plush, a Debbie Reynolds AIO (which I totally ), a Bitti D'lish and 2 Honeychilds plus now the two ones I ordered today.
Can anyone say "addict"? ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Mike won't stuff pockets either, and is hopeless at sorting out nappies once they're done (I've trained him to remove inserts but anything else is a wonderful surprise) He is good with snaps though Seb would undo a velcro nappy in about 20 seconds flat, so those are out. Bit of a pity as I like the look of bubblebubs.
Just think of the money you'll make on resale one day - that's if you can part with them -------------

OMG there are new brands out there that I havent even heard off!!,...I am ashamed to say Isla has been in sposies fulltime for about 7 weeks now,....after hardly ever weraing one since she was 5 weeks.

 Oh no, now we've done it!
You need to try a Bitti D'lish - they are my fav atm. (and they are $34.50 free postage on TM atm) I also dearly love my Wigglebums, but the prints vary greatly so I guess it's whether you can find one you love. (also on a 15% sale right now) -------------

Oh oh! And Berry plush are $32.75 at Tweedle on clearance... they are so soft. And the colours are yummy. Plus if you spend $35 it's free postage, so if you get a wipe or something -------------

The gremlins are velcro houdinis too so they can only wear their aplix naps under pants/skirts. Altho yesterday Mercedes got a sposie off from UNDER her pants!

Emma, I totally have stash envy right now! And I am sooooo tempted by the new ecobubs pockets. I've just had a stash clean out and sold some nappies so need more for winter...really I do! We've had to get rid of most of our aplix/velcro naps because DD has managed to take them off too many times and it's just not worth it - under her pants too!
We've got mostly fuzzis in our stash, with some random single nappies thrown in as I get more adventurous, GAD pocket, baby harmony pockets, a couple made by a lovely lady on TNN and a yoyo. We've been dabbling in fitteds for a while so my pockets stash is looking low. Would love a new ecobubs, itti bitti pocket would be cool but also want to try some snazzipants fitteds. Newborn stash is looking sad! Must try harder! ------------- Mum to two gorgeous girls! |

I like the look of the GAD pockets, esp the white and pink one. And I want a Baby Harmony novelty nap for bub too.

I used to do cloth at night but it interfered with their buzzies so I got into the habit of using sposies. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Kellz, I think I'm going the same way. Would never have dreamed of parting with any nappies in the past but just sold my medium ecobubs citrus stripe pocket and don't really want anything that we don't 'need'. However, we're starting to get a bit low as DD grows out of some of her smaller mediums so I think I might have to buy some more. Decisions, decisions!

The gremlins are still in mediums, I think they'll prob TT straight out of meds in a year or so coz they're still close to the tightest snaps. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Forgot to add - Emma, the GAD pocket is pretty trim but narrow through the crotch. I don't put it on DD if I think she's due for a poo because it sometimes doesn't contain it all and she has a nasty habit lately of putting her hands in through the leg holes of her nappies and this one seems to let her do that a lot easier.  We have the brown and blue one.------------- Mum to two gorgeous girls! |

DD has mostly grown out of the baby harmony mediums - still on the tightest snaps of her fuzzis so I'm thinking they'll last her until TT as well. Gotta love that saving! ------------- Mum to two gorgeous girls! |

Ewwww! OK, maybe no GAD pocket then, altho Bizzy likes hers.
The BH's do seem to be a smaller fit. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Date Posted: 24 March 2008 at 11:34pm

My stash is very conservative for money reasons only, but since Leo went into larges I've been trying a few different nappies and my current stash is: 2 x HC, 4 x Fuzzis, 1 x Foxybots, 5 x white popper pockets (from 'noonespecial' on TM), plus I've just ordered another Foxybots and an Itti Bitti D'Lish, oh and I'm waiting on a ME Air-flow wrap to arrive from TM to go with a Huggle fitted nappy I'm going to try overnight.
