Review of Cotton Bottoms Birth to Potty System by
leopard79
Advantages: Environmentally friendly, long term savings.
Disadvantages: Big upfront outlay, less convenient for visits and holidays.
...with “Have you considered using cotton nappies instead of disposables?”. “Sorry?” I hear myself say, I’m confused, I’m in an incredibly undignified position, there are concerns over the health of the baby which is going to arrive in the immediate future and she chooses now to plug the environmental benefits of reusable nappies.
As it happens I had considered reusables. I’d never been at all environmentally conscious until I met my husband in 1997; ...

We cottoned On
Review of Cotton Bottoms Birth to Potty System by
Shroud
Advantages: quick drying, soft, can be used in pocket nappies
Disadvantages: exspensive to buy all at once
...more baby goodies! I got Cotton Bottoms size small prefolds and a couple newborn and size small wraps to start us off.
I did not buy the entire Birth to Potty pack all in one go, instead, we have bought more from the Boots website as he has grown bigger, so as to be able toa fford it, as well as gett hose wonderful Advantage points. To be honest, if I had had the cash, I probably would have gone for the big pack all at once!

Big baby, big wet, big dirty
Review of Cotton Bottoms Birth to Potty System by
ailbhe
Advantages: Single financial outlay, easy to find discounts, simple to launder
Disadvantages: Large initial outlay, no excuse to experiment with other kids later
...we decided to buy the Cotton Bottoms Birth to Potty Pack. We shopped around and got it for 10% off and 12% of the discounted price in store points, too. If we'd had any sense, we would also have reclaimed the "incentive" money back from the council, but we weren't organised enough at the time.
Anyway, they were excellent. Our large breastfed baby did large explosive liquid poos, and the wraps always caught the leaks - she only leaked when in disposables. ...

A happy baby is one in cotton nappies
Review of Cotton Bottoms Birth to Potty System by
GillMcP
Advantages: Ease of use, no nappy rash, cheap running costs
Disadvantages: Expensive at first outlay
...tried a starter pack of cotton bottoms (12 cotton nappies, 3 wraps and a roll of liners) free with my botts points and was amazed. No leaks, no nappy rash and with a mesh bag in the bucket no handling soggie nappies. I am now delighted he suggested it and am a real convert.
I have used them for 5 months now and they cope well with my baby boy even overnight. As others have explained the liner is next to the babies skin and is flushable but doesn't ...

Cotton Bottoms - Great Value
Review of Cotton Bottoms Birth to Potty System by
joules1965
Advantages: Quick drying
Disadvantages: Daddy's not too keen on changing baby
...decided to go for the Cotton bottoms as my main system (supplemented by a few Totsbots because I wanted them!). As I was determind I decided to go for the Birth to Potty pack from Boots as it seemed good value and although I was going to wait until baby was born - couldn't resist when the triple points offer came up!) I was able to buy a new baby monitor with my £36 worth of points!
As a prefold they are more 'complicated' than some out there, ...

Soft as a baby's bum
Review of Cotton Bottoms Birth to Potty System by
sueymoss
Advantages: Environmentally friendly, soft and comfortable
Disadvantages: Baby has a big bottom!
I chose Cotton Bottoms Birth to Potty Pack because it contained everything to get started - nappies and wraps in various sizes, bioliners which are flushed down the loo, a nappy bin, packs of nappy soaking agent, washable wipes, a 'wet' bag, a swim wrap and trainer pants. It was an expensive outlay (£300 but saves £156 off the price if the items are bought individually) but I bought the pack from Boots when they had an offer on Advantage points.
The ...
