That's what i did. Got mine off ebay though. I deffo think it's the best way trailing a few before making any big purchases. Some people don't get on with the Mio's becuase of the folds but personally I have no trouble now i mastered it. I tried the Mio's first before venturing further afield.

I cant recommend Bum Genius 3.0 enough! They are all in ones so no need for extra wraps or inserts, just chuck in the wash, dry and go! Those terry things are like having a wet soggy towel wrapped around his litle bum!

 

[Tiff]

^^ Couldn't agree more. I love my Bumgenius ones. It's literally no fuss, no muss.

 

[xxxjacxxx]

Oooh and if you wanna show off...blueberrys are totally lush!!!!!

 

[x-Rainbow-x]

cant wait to get some on saturday!

do most people use them all the time or do some people use them in the house and disposables when out?

 

[thelilbump]

I love my bumgenius V3's aswell! I tend to put a liner on top aswell to stop it being as messy when we have poop! We just use the cloth ones during the day. Nights/ days out we use disposables but i'm starting to wonder why i don't just ditch disposables compleltly tbh, much prefer the cloth bums!

P_S. I found a site called www.thenappylady.co.uk really helpful. Before i started buying nappies i'd never even really thought about drying times etc

 

[Tiff]

We use the cloth diapers 24/7 unless we're going out of town for a weekend, then I use disposables.

If I'm going to be out for most of the day, depending on what I'm doing I'll take disposables with me. If it's just for a few hours I'll bring the cloth. I find the BG diapers more absorbent than disposables, tbh.

 

[xxxjacxxx]

I dont use disposables at all

If im going out I will just take 2 cloth ones with me. The blueberrys are soooo absorbent, Leo was in his from 7 pm yesterday until 7.30 am this morning and he was dry, no leaks...

Fantastic nappies imho.

I recently became a cloth bum mum! Got 4 blueberry ones, they're soooo cute! Saving some money for more

 

[Pink_Witch]

havent heard of blueberrys before so shall be googling in a min!

I struggled at first with the mio's they seemed to be too big for the wrap until i folded one the 'wrong' way-against the lines that are on the nappy-it seems to fit better that way!

for the last few days i havent used my washables as Ern is been having a very runny bum due to the colief and i have had to change him every time he trumps and i would have run out within an hour or 2 so i have been using the asda eco baby ones but today they have started to firm back up and not quite as often so i think we can go back to the washables over the weekend but with the liner on for a while
