Does anyone else use

i used them with xanthe, and didnt really have any problems with them. yes she had a big butt. yes i had to change her more often. yes they sometimes leaked. but i didnt know any better and at the time it was fine. wasnt till i started using my fitted cloth nappies with jordis that i realised that the squares were really bad at giving xanthe nappy rash - we have not had a single rash here yet, TOUCH WOOD, and thats all i can put it down to. so just make sure you give lots of bum time at each nappy change.

what covers do you use? in the end with x i stopped using pins, and just tucked the ends under, and trusted that the covers would do the job of holding the nappy on.

yep i use them here - well did for toby when he was a baby, a pinless fold too. i still use them now as stuffers for my pocket nappies.

I use them sometimes when I'm behind in the washing or feeling nostalgic Also handy as stuffers for the pockets.

I used to use them with Hannah, from when she was about 10mos... but I absolutely hated using them! So did DH, he was rather paranoid about pin-stabs I didn't know about MCN until after then, when I got involved on here (Nikkiwhyte was talking about MCN but I thought she was raving about the horrible flats lol), then when a friend of mine organised a FB demo, I was right into it. By that time I had completely thrown in the flats and was back to sposies, but by that stage Briona was 13 months lol.

My SIL uses flats though, I don't have the patience but her bubba is 10mos now so I think that's pretty amazing!

I use them to stuff pockets at night sometimes... and for mopping up accidents on the carpet , used to use them under me on the bed when I was breast feeding for leakage (gosh I forgot how horrible it was sleeping in a pool of milk for the first 6 months of Hannah's life!), and as primitive clothing in the early days when i couldn't bring myself to get dressed and someone turned up unexpectedly

But no, don't use them directly on Hanny's butt.

Oooo... they also make OK capes when playing superman

Fold a flat in half, wrap it over front and tuck into bra.

Or alternatively, hold in place if you have no bra to tuck in to.

Far from decent, but enough to get you through a conversation with a stranger without dying of embarrassment.

P.S. I did always wear pants Annie. I'm not THAT much of a rudie.

I use the envelope fold, and I find it super good for holding in explosions. What kind of fold do you use? I've got terry flats, and can't use snappi on them, so have to use pins... makes me nervous!

I used flannel flats with pins and PVC pilchers with Maya from about 6 weeks until she TTed at 22 months. I used them when we were up north last weekend as it was easier/more compact than taking MCN's, and I can't for the life of me understand how I managed to get them on Maya while she was wriggling and rolling and squirmin coz the gremlins were a nightmare to try and pin down

I love the way they look so, so nostalgic

Maya's daycare was good with cloth, I just sent along a lidded bucket and they'd line it with a plastic bag and I'd grab the bag out at the end of the day.

Mind you the odd time that I forgot them it was pretty stinky the next day
