Kushies Wash Cloths

Advantages: absorbant, reusable
Disadvantages: none

...After having my baby 6 weeks ago I have realised the importance of having some good quality breastpads - especially if you are breadtfeeding. I first bought disposable breastpads from boots which were reasonably cheap but I found that they scrunched up too easily and irritated my npples so I decided to use some washable ones. I first bought the Avent washable breast pads which I was satisfied with but I needed some more as you only get 3 pairs in a pack! I bought the Kushies washable breast pads - not becuase they were different or anything but just becuse I was placing an online order from one of the baby stuff .suppliers and these are the ones that were on sale here - so it was pure laziness that made me buy this particular brand! They are slightly bigger than the washable pads made by avent and are gently contoured to fit... Read review

Advantages: No leaks
Disadvantages: They take a day to dry

...problem. I use a couple of kushies booster pads at night as my baby is a massive eater and drinks lots during the night, so I like the added protection. I now don't need to change him during the night. I also love the variety of cute patterns that the kushies ultras come in. ***Washing/drying*** They wash really easily, I rarely bother to wet pail or pre-wash.

Advantages: Save Money, help avoid nappy rash, environmentally good, padding helps baby to sit up!!!!
Disadvantages: Increase washing and no birth to potty system, very padded, big intial investment

...a bit scratchy so now we just use the nappies without. They do stain a little but that is nothing that a good soak in tea tree oil before washing doesn't sort out really. The Ultra nappies come in 3 sizes: Newborn - 10 lbs Infant 10 - 22 lbs Toddler 22 - 45 lbs Kushies Classic come in Infant and Toddler only. We found when Baby was first born we needed everything as quick and easy as possible, the nappies we bought were Infant sized anyway and we are glad that we took that approach. We settled for using disposables for the first 3-4 weeks before trying the Kushies. They do not seem to work as effectively at the lower end of the weight range, although the nappies are elasticated around the legs, we found we had a few leaks. After trying quite a few different types of reusable nappy we found the best was Kushies Classic... Read review
