I can do diapers, I can do wipes, I can do liners, but I just CAN'T do cloth sanitary pads. Tampons only please, I'll save the diapers for the babies.![]()
I'm in complete agreement!!! I do use all natural, cotton tampons, but still, no thanks on the cloth!
No i couldn't do that either. I use a mooncup which is obviously environmentally friendly. Will have to use pads after baby arrives though but i'm sure it'll be the last thing on my mind then!
Thanks for all the info on what is AUS we cal MCN's(modern cloth nappies) I have been interested for a while but am not sure what is the best type. I have started researching. You mentioned second hand are you talking ebay?
Also this may sound really stupid and it may just be the site I'm looking at but there is a pocket in the back for the liner is that normal or is the liner just on top? I just thought how dumb then the nappy would get dirt too rather than just the liner. Or am I hearing it wrong and I am meant to change the nappy with every change and just wash daily or just the liner? I wish I had someone I knew who could show me in real life!!!
Congrats jen on 12wks.
and all of you 18wks!
Just spend an hour catching up and can't remember a thing!
Yes liner saves stains etc on the nappies. The pockets are supposed to be there - that's where you put the absorbent layers to soak in the wee. The pocket nappies bought new come with a microfibre insert but you'll need to buy a bamboo for use when baby is bigger (as well as the microf). Because the nappies are stripped to bits when you wash them it means they wash quicker than all in one nappies.
I personally have never used ebay for nappies. I have used preloved or clothnappytree.com, there's also fb groups for Aus, UK etc. Make sure you have a good look around before you buy any and feel free to ask me as many questions as you like.
Also, try youtubing how to use cloth and stuffing cloth for videos on it x
