Over the last 7 months we have tried and tested loads of different brands of nappies, coupled with loads of different ways to ‘boost’ them. With varying levels of success…..
I have always thought that my ‘cheapies’ were great, for the cost I cannot and will not fault them, having been swayed by the more expensive nappies and coming away disappointed, I remained faithful to our originals.
However, my best advise now…..if ever you are swayed by the more expensive brands may I recommend Bambino Mio. We love them….the Mio Solo’s are our favourite, we are ever so slowly building up a stash of these (at around £13-£15 a nappy, they are not the most purse friendly to lower budget families) but there are plenty available pre-loved too (as they are sometimes stocked in supermarkets it may be worth a look, recently on a great offer at sainsburys, just gutted our local one doesn’t do cloth nappies). We have some of their super cute prints, but also love their block colours too! We also use their prefolds and wraps for our very successful bed time system (hardly ever a leak, and if there is it is the most tiniest of one!) There is also a rumour going around that some bambino mio products will be featured as the ‘specials’ in aldi at the end of the month, this makes me very excited…..hopefully it will help make cloth mainstream!
Of course, as always, every child is different, so children may suit different nappies better, but talking to a few other of my ‘cloth bum mum’ friends, Mio’s seem to be the popular choice now!
