I use the mother nature, but also had a friend give me a biobaba nappy that she was given to try. I'm very happy with the mother nature nappies. With the night booster they can go a nights sleep, although I must admit they are saturated by the folowing morning. I find also that at night the fleece waterproof thing is best (I really doubted this when I first tried it) It means that the following morning hs babygro is slightly damp, but not wet enough to cause problems, but it allows some evaporation at night which means his nappy i less wet. During the day I use both the cheap waterproofs that you get at Ackermans and mothernature ones. The MN waterproof is quite pricey, so I didnt buy too many of these (I only have 2) but you can use it for a number of changes. It fits lovely and snug so I actually prefer it. he Ackermans waterproofs tend to be a bit bulky over the nappy, but they keep the water off his clothes.

The mothernayure nappies fit snuggly. I chose them because: They were cheaper than the biobaba and bambinomia systems.(bambinomia you cantuse the cheap waterproofs with) I liked the fact that they came in white, because if they are a little stained I can scrub with green sunlight soap and put them in the sun to bleach them white again (you cant use bleach) and they go to all sizes. Negatives are: Apparently for smaller babies they do leak (I had a 3.9kg baby so this was never an issue), they are bulkier on the bottom then the bambinomia, but I love his big bum, and as he has gotten bigger, this is no longer an issue.

I go through about 8 nappies a day and wash every 2nd day. The MN bulkyness does mean they take longer to dry, but I find that a sunny day is sufficient. In the wet I use my dribuddy. I have 28 nappies just to make up for the extra drying time:)

Here's websites: www.mothernature.co.za
www.bamboobaby.co.za
www.cottonbottoms.co.za or www.bumgenius.com if you want to import. I've noticed that cottonbottoms is too expensive, and importing the nappies will cost you more or less what the other nappies costs, R2900+/- for 24 nappies. Rather that the R9000+/- in South Africa.
Bum genius has quite a few websites that sell them just google if you want to shop around.

What's nice about these companies they also sell other nice products like washable liners, wipes, soaps and stuff good to the environment.

Hi you beautiful moomies in here.

I beleive all of us want to contribute positively to our environment. The thing is, we are either not well informed or lazy to try or ignorant. I want to contribute by using less disposable nappies and we all can actually. But i don't know yet which one's to buy?

So which nappies has worked well for you? Mothernature, or bamboobaby or bumgenius? There's lots out there, let us know your opinion. Even if you just checked their websites and you think you have your own opinion to give?

Maybe you are just well informed about different materials used and you want to contribute positively to the thread. Pls just say something.

Bless you all.
