Real Nappies

Levine12

I'm a first time mom and doing some research on cloth diapers.... Has anyone used Real Nappies? Is the bundle pack worth it? It looks like I'd save a lot....

Thoughts, advise?

Thanks..

The covers are good. The prefolds are kind of meh. They're a little narrow. Gmd is nicer.

I considered it before ds was born but decided I wanted the flexibility of being able to change what type of diaper I was using. I started with prefolds, then went to AI2s, then pockets, and now flats and flat stuffed pockets. I would say no matter which way you do cloth you'll save money, however, there are some here that could prove that statement wrong.

I would avoid big packages when starting out, because you won't know what you like. For my newborn stash I went with mostly prefolds and covers and some flats and fitteds. I love the flats, and the idea of fitteds with covers, but the brand of fitteds I bought is not great, so I have some other ones on order. I was surprised to discover I really do not like prefolds - at least the fit on my newborn. And since the bulk of our newborn stash is prefolds (24 of them) we're only doing cloth part time right now because I don't want to invest in more newborn sized stuff. LO is growing fast so we're waiting for him to grow into the one-size pockets, AIO and AI2s we have to go full time.

Lesson learned.

The nice thing about a newborn stash is it's easy to find nicer stuff used and/or resell your gently used newborn stuff, so getting a variety in your stash for newborn size lets you figure out what you like for the one size stash, and then you can make more investment in that.

Just my opinion though ...
