Getting started with reusable nappies

[pinkie77]

I'm wanting to try reusables this time around and thought I'd get a few preloved to try on her when she's here rather than forking out loads on one system and finding they don't suit. Is this a good way to start?

I spent hours (literally lol) making a list of the ones I found online that I like the look of and my plan is to get a couple of each as and when they're available. Then once I've worked out what works for us both, I can stock up!

So does this make sense or is there a better way? Any advice gratefully received x x

You'd be even better to do a nappy trial. that way you don't even need to buy any preloved! Most nappy advisors will arrange one for you, and I for one, will let you chose what you want to try, from my available stock

It sounds like a good plan. I would try to get a good balance on your list, so include a couple of each type you think you might be interested in, so try something like 2 types of pocket nappy, 2 fitted nappies, 2 wraps, 2 AIOs etc. Obviously you could try more than that but if you only tried 1 pocket nappy, you wouldn't know if it was pocket nappies in general you didn't like or just that particular brand.

Little Pants, I will look into a nappy trial, that wasn't something I'd known was possible thanks x
