Surprising success with cheapies

Let's face it, cloth nappies look super smart and you can save loads of money by not having to buy disposables  but the outlay is pretty expensive. When I started using them full time I needed to bulk out my stash. I'd be on maternity leave another few months and only plan to return part time anyway so it wasn't as if money was there to be burned. 

With a lot of my nappies costing between £14 - £18 each I needed to find a cheaper alternative. I came across tiny nippers, a pocket nappy. They had brought out a new aplix range and again a couple of more masculine prints had caught my eye. These were selling for just £7.99 including inserts. I swiftly ordered 2. When they came I washed them in the usual way and tried one on Isaac. It was a truly brilliant nappy. 

Easy to stuff and went on a dream. I did need to use the second row of poppers so don't know if it will actually last birth to potty. He wore the nappy for about 3-3 1/2 hours with no leaks and kept in the newborn poo really well. The only drawback is that the nappy comes up a bit bulky especially when you compare it to the flip or tots bots AIO. However I thought it was great and promptly bought another! 

Whilst ordering my 3rd tiny nipper nappy I came across baby land. They had a few new prints out, 4 of them very girlie but the 5th was rockets so I bought one. The nappy had the dreaded poppers instead of my fail safe aplix but at just £4.49 (or £3.59 without the insert) I couldn't resist. When it came I washed it straight away and used it on baby the next day. I was so surprised as again it was easy to stuff, I added a pop in booster as it only had one with it. The nappy stayed slim and due to its stretchy material I got a great fit even with poppers. The nappy lasted 4 hours!! I only took it off because it was bath time so it may have lasted even longer! I'll be ordering some more baby land ASAP!
