Sorry to take so long to get this up but life does like to get in the way

So out of 46 responses, here are the results

Fuzzi Bunz & Itti Bitt are the clear favorites and I'm afraid Peapods (old) are not too popular.]]> Mon, 02 Feb 2009 18:06:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23663&PID=604041&title=cloth-nappy-survey#604041 <![CDATA[Cloth Nappy Survey : I&#039;ve added my comments, and...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23663&PID=593247&title=cloth-nappy-survey#593247 Author: Two Blondinis

I've added my comments, and noted you still ahven't added Honey Child

I think this is a great idea if people post honest feedback re. each option/brand.

When I started my research into cloth nappies I just went to the one website and read what other people had to say about their experiences with each of the brands and styles that were out. I went with the one that had the most relevance to me (ease of use, cost) and that had almost no complaints.

I'm still happy with the decision I made to spend a little extra and get a high quality nappy and have just put all of our nappies away for when #2 needs them as even after 2 1/2 years use they are still in perfect condition. These nappies will have paid for themselves many times over before they are fit for the bin ]]> Tue, 20 Jan 2009 22:27:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23663&PID=593247&title=cloth-nappy-survey#593247 <![CDATA[Cloth Nappy Survey : I too look forward to the results...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23663&PID=589223&title=cloth-nappy-survey#589223 Author: sweetpea

I too look forward to the results as you are right there is just soo many out there that trying to read all the info is just too hard. Nothing is better marketing for a product than positive feedback in my opion anyway. The likelyhood is that if someone else has had a bad experience with a product they won't be the only one.]]> Fri, 16 Jan 2009 13:25:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23663&PID=589223&title=cloth-nappy-survey#589223 <![CDATA[Cloth Nappy Survey : Looking forward to seeing the...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23663&PID=588148&title=cloth-nappy-survey#588148 Author: newme

While this is all very true and valid, there are still some pretty specific reasons why people love/hate certain brands, such as they don't dry, they leak from the seams, the fabric wears out too quickly. All this sort of feedback is what we, those of us looking to use cloth, are also looking to know. At the moment this info is spread out all over the forums, it's just nice to have a concise sort of list.

Thanks to those who have responded so far, we are getting some great info.]]> Tue, 13 Jan 2009 15:24:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23663&PID=585891&title=cloth-nappy-survey#585891 <![CDATA[Cloth Nappy Survey : Done ]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23663&PID=585743&title=cloth-nappy-survey#585743 Author: Rachael21

I would so agree with this!! I've often heard that what works on one doesn't work on another...that's why I often recommend hire kits to people if they don't know what they want to use.

Plus nappies often go through fads...once everyone was buying fuzzis, then there was the berry plush rage, currently itti bittis are the must have nappy. (which reminds me, must get me one of those!!!!)

I didn't put any comments but I did vote for 2 I love...they are both my favourites!]]> Mon, 12 Jan 2009 22:17:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23663&PID=585298&title=cloth-nappy-survey#585298 <![CDATA[Cloth Nappy Survey : just done your survey...i hope...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23663&PID=585243&title=cloth-nappy-survey#585243 Author: jack_&_charli

Please don't respond to the survey with just a list of nappies I've missed. If you use those nappies and love or hate them then please just enter them in "Other" I can't cover all of them, I've never purchased any of them, this is my first baby (like many of us who are trying to learn what is best for us to get) and thus I have no idea what is available in total.

Ok peps, it's a slow morning so I've created a little survey on the cloth nappy debate. I've listed a bunch of cloth nappies to choose from and was hoping people could check those they love and those they hate (add it if I've missed it) and maybe post a paragraph explaining their experience.

If there is anything else you think I should add here, let me know
