Reusable Nappies in General Reviews

When I had my first son I really wanted to use reusable nappies but didn't have the guts. Why? Because when you think of reusable nappies what comes to mind - terry towelling squares, nappy pins, plastic knickers, soaking.....I gave up before I really looked into it. When I was pregnant with my second son I decided to really ...  Read the complete review

This is a huge topic to try and review sensibly but I hope that it will provide some useful information to anyone thinking about whether to use cloth nappies. I'm going to write it as I would have liked to have read it while I was looking. Then I'll put a little section on what I have and how I use them. Types of nappy There more ...  Read the complete review

I have written many reviews on the various types of cloth nappy I have sampled in the past 2 ½ years with my two young daughters, but I have decided to write a general review to give my thoughts and opinions on my experiences with the various types of reusable nappy, and try to compare them and come up with a solution as to which is the best ...  Read the complete review

Just read a review by someone else and thought what a great topic. When I found out I was pregnant I decided that seeing as I was a generally green type of person that I did not want to be filling land fill sites with 1000's of nappies. I did a little research into reusable nappies and found out that a lot had changed since my mum used ...  Read the complete review

Knew that I wanted to use reusable nappies. Firstly they are much better for the environment; secondly they work out much cheaper; thirdly I'll just feel better putting them on my baby (?@!#) and lastly, due to a set of circumstances, we will have help with washing and cleaning when the baby comes so no excuse on the being-too-busy-for-cleaning. ...  Read the complete review

I chose to use resuable nappies primarily for cost and practicability reasons. I dont drive so faced lugging home sacks of nappies from the supermarket each week and then filling up precious space in my wheelie bin with dirty nappies. I also worked out that my daughter will cost us about £1000 in disposable nappies over the course of her time in ...  Read the complete review

I bought cloth nappies because they were cheaper and I couldn't bare the thought of putting the cost of disposables on my shopping bill every week. Once home with our bundle, I realised the true benefits of cloth. When you are too shattered, or baby is too sleepy/grumpy to go shopping, you don't need to. Pop in a wash load and you'll ...  Read the complete review

Having a new baby means I?m spending my days washing nappies rather than writing opinions for Dooyoo. Well, so you might think if you are of the opinion I was prior to using reusable nappies. But it?s not like that. It?s actually really a rather nice thing to do, despite the extra washing, and makes me feel like a right goody-goody too. ...  Read the complete review

I love Pampers. When my first child was born 11 years ago, I wanted to be green. I bought some birdseye prefold American nappies and pins. What a disaster. He was allergic to his wee and got thrush infection after thrush infection. The bleach smelled the house up and the flat smelled of bleach, and dirty nappies. :( I gave up. Tried brand after ...  Read the complete review

My first baby is nearly 9 months old and I have used washables from birth. I never really thought about it before I just thought everyone used disposables. When someone mentioned using washables I started to do some research on the net. I didn't like what I read about disposables, the chemicals they contain and the enviromental problems they ...  Read the complete review

I used disposables with my first child. I was just browsing through my dooyoo opinions and found an old write up about Asda nappies and thought I would just update my opinion in general. As I said, with my first, I knew no better and I not realising that there was another option, went for disposables, without giving it a minutes thought. ...  Read the complete review

Reusable nappies! Since taking up using cloth nappies, I cant ever imagine why I thought that they were so difficult! I must admit that when I had my 1st son I thought that nappies came as ?Pampers? or ?Huggies? & I had no information on using cloth & noone recommended it to me. At the postnatal classes I only ever saw one person using ...  Read the complete review

When I was in my 8th month of pregnancy, we went to see a woman locally (plushpants.co.uk) to get advice and to buy some cloth nappies. This was purely for environmental reasons, and I was a bit shocked at how much we managed to spend! In the first few days we used disposables, and thought that we might never use the cloths because they ...  Read the complete review

Actually it's my darling son, who's just wee'd in his disposable nappy. I thought it was just a urine smell, but since converting to cloth I now know it's a chemical reaction...urrrgghhhh! And to think I'd never noticed it before I used washable nappies! I have 2 children, my eldest is 4 and I screeched with ...  Read the complete review

Why did we ever believe what the nappy advertisers told us? For centuries across the globe, babies have grown up happily in some sort of cloth nappy. Then the disposable nappy is created. Adverts are shown- misrable baby in a terry nappy versus glamour mum, with happy baby cocooned in a new miracle disposable. How could we not fall ...  Read the complete review

Our landfill sites are full of disposable nappies, which will take years to decompose due to the materials they are made from and the plastic bags they are wrapped in to "bin" them. I am a mother of 3 children. I switched to cloth nappies after the birth of my 3rd child as I am concerned about saving the environment. Disposables were ...  Read the complete review

At last just what I was looking for, (as I mentioned in my Terry Nappy Op) the waterproof pants, which do not make baby’s bottom all horrible and sweaty. I have tried all sorts of plastic pants and found tham lacking. Either they do no cover all the Nappy or else they make baby's bottom all horrid and sweaty leading to nappy ...  Read the complete review

My 19 month old has been having leaks of urine from her night nappy nearly every night for months. Most mornings her pyjamas would be wet. I knew I was not the only person with this problem as I saw others posting for advice on the subject on babyworld.co.uk. What struck me was that the only people who had found a consistent solution to the ...  Read the complete review

Do you like the idea of using re-usable nappies but don't want the hassle of washing? Then using a nappy washing service like cotton bottoms is the answer. As most people know there is a huge nappy mountain which will take many decades to decay so re-usable nappies are important for our babies future but when you have a little baby washing ...  Read the complete review
