I also use tots bots bamboozles and have made my own fleece liners. I just cut up a fleece blanket into rectangles which were large enough to cover the nappy. Fleece doesn't fray so there is no need to edge it.

I found the best liners were made from a loop fleece blanket, I know primark sell them for £3 but there may be somewhere more ethical that you can buy them.

Cloth nappies are brilliant- I've saved a fortune.

Well done Ange - i should take the plunge really, but its the initial outlay - and i should have got them with Jamie - then they would have done all 3 Rolling Eyes

Yes Ang, I think it probably was me who posted about it.

Your council is really good, I only got £20 off a spend over £50 and it had to be from a specific shop so that money really didn't go far.

our council is crap - they are suppose to be one of the best councils for the environmental apparently. yet they dont seem to want to give people an incentive to stop filling landfills with nappys. i've wrote them a couple of letters suggesting it but no reply Evil or Very Mad

I use the bambino ones, struggled at first as I couldn't work out how to fold them, so logged on to their website and watched the demo as I bought newborn to toddler pack for £15 at a nearly new sale.


Our local council does the motherease ones, which I think look alot easier so I have now washed them and will give them a go, plus if we get cash back only £10 but its better than nothing so I'm going to take the form to get signed by hv when DD has her jabs and check up on Thursday.

I have found that I can't put her in one overnight as it leaks.

mybe extra booster or microfible cloth inside nappy would make difference? I know there are disposable overnight boosters for heavy weters, they look like extra large maternity pads- I got few for Maya in one of my Ebay bargain bundles.
