Your opinions are needed!

I am conducting market research on the use of nappies within families with children of all ages.

I am after people within the local area (Te Aroha, Paeroa, Thames, Ngatea, Waihi and Waihi Beach, and anywhere in-between) who would be willing to share their thoughts, opinions and experiences with all types of nappies – cloth and disposable.

Feel free to answer the questions below. It looks like heaps but they’re quick to answer, one word answers are fine.

You can still answer if you are out of the above area – however please state this clearly in your post.

If you don’t feel comfortable posting your answers here, feel free to PM me.

Thanks for your help!!
