Just a couple of things I've been wondering the answers to recently... I'm sure someone will be able to help me 
Why do people like fitted nappies? To me they don't seem that good an idea as you need a cover with them & they don't seem that cheap??? I've bought some covers recently (to use with prefolds) & they have a little square of velcro on the inside of the cover. This is a laundry tab, right?? To stop them sticking to other items in the wash? Thanks girls. -------------

I don't use fitteds because I can't be bothered with the covers lol.. but I've heard they are more absorbent which is probably why people go for them
And yes thats the laundry tab

I found fitteds great at containing newborn explosions, sort of a double layer preventing leaks. -------------

I have 2 fitted nappies and find them brilliant. I use them when going out an about as they are more reliable than the pocket nappies I have. They are super absorbent and they are also more trim fitting. I only have 2 because of the cost and because they only last so long before you have to buy the next size up. I find the covers really great and seem to be able to get a better leak free fit than what I get out of my pocket nappies. My pockets are onesize though and may be easier to use when he is bigger. Apparently they should last a whole night but I haven't risked trying it yet I prefer to stuff my pocket nappy to the max instead!!! but I do have a big pee'r. -------------

i use fitteds, and have only just branched out into pockets. fitteds are best for containing poos, they dont leak out the side as there are 2 lots of leg elastic to hold it in. they are more absorbant, and even if the nappy is wringing, the cover will generally hold it in.
pockets need changed more often i am finding. i wouldnt have looked at pockets in the first 6 months, the fitteds did so well for us. and they arent that much more expensive i dont think. i use snazzi fitteds, and bummis covers (prefer bummies pants for reliability, but the wraps are best for ease of use.) hope that helps some. ------------- Lyla - mum to Xanthe -  my big 4 year old

yes they are laundry tabs.
fitted nappies rock...great for nights with a knitted soaker, great in summer with no cover and a t shirt. great for holding in poo explosions... and no more expensive than some pockets. in fact a lovely snazzipants fitted is cheaper than a fuzzi bunz or honeychild pocket nappy. and the sizing is approx the same as pocket nappies too (excluding one size pockets) and they come in one size too - in fact my fave overnight fitted for toby is a one size fitted from joel eze naps. |
