Oh Nappy Days!
Review of Terry Nappies by
orlando
Advantages: Make you feel very environmentally friendly
Disadvantages: They leak if not changed regularly
...I writing a review on Terry Towelling Nappies, when I no longer have a child, let alone a baby?? Absolutely no idea, but I really am getting depressed by the amount of rubbish in our environment and disposable nappies are one of the main culprits.
Tales from the 1980's
Back in the days of yore, or atleast when I was a very young mum, struggling to make ends meet and walking miles with a pram for a bargain, the very idea of a disposable nappy ...

Good old fashioned terries
Review of Terry Nappies by
LauraBr
Advantages: Fast drying, cheap, easy to get hold of
Disadvantages: Hard to fold as baby gets older
...I never ever even considered terry squares. In my mind, you only choose terry squares if you really couldn't afford any other alternative. I thought they meant *ages* spent folding and pinning and that they weren't worth even trying.
So - what made me decide to try them? I'd tried out a few shaped nappies and had decided which one's to buy in bulk, but couldn't really afford to get them all in one go so decided to get some terry squares in Boots ...

Oh nappy days
Review of Terry Nappies by
di-buzz
Advantages: Once you have bought them you have them for as long as they last, you are also helping the environment
Disadvantages: make more work and need changing more often
...and I bought 3 dozen terry squares. I used these most of the time at first and only used disposables for going out. The only nappies which were a good fit on him were Peaudouce T shape ( bet nobody remembers those!).
I used to soak the wet ones in one bucket and the soiled ones in another, flushing away the disposable liners. I then washed them when I had a full load, drying them on the line and finishing them off with 10 minutes in the tumble ...

Baby matters
Review of Terry Nappies by
gimi
Advantages: childs wellbeing
Disadvantages: laundry
...off to mothercare and bought Terry towelling nappies. Again I made another mistake. I bought nappy liners, I thought that I could catch most of the ???? and flush it down the loo. Wrong again my daughter was allergic to the liners.
I had to resolve and go for nappies with no frills. At first I must say things weren’t easy until I got into the hang of things. (My wife was to poorly and in hospital to help)
When baby wees its ok, but when baby ...

White nappys flapping in the wind
Review of Terry Nappies by
mjbarkley
Advantages: cheap, environmentally friendly and make good rags
Disadvantages: A bit more work
...the old fasioned squares of Terry towling on my babies nappy.
Over the years I must have saved a fortune in buying nappys. I have save the council a lot in the disposal of nappys and I have saved the environment in general a lot.
What I haven't saved is the washing machine and my time.
It is not difficult to fold and put on a nappy and I have got quite adept at the task. There are various folds I use depending on the size of the child. I ...

Soft as a babies bottom, or not??
Review of Terry Nappies by
eabha
Advantages: Can be cost effective and ver cute
Disadvantages: inconvienent, a lot of hassle and washing
Terry Towelling nappies, I thought, would be the answer to my prayers. A baby is an expensive accessory at the best of times, but being a student and therefore only being able to squeeze a Saturday job, money, I knew, would be tight! So, on the suggestion of my mum, I invested in Zorbit, terry towelling nappies
Cost
As with most things you have to speculate to accumulate and it can cost up to an initial £200 once everything is bought and paid ...

Terrific Terries
Review of Terry Nappies by
Shroud
Advantages: dry quickly, cheaper than shaped or all in one nappies, other uses after nappy time
Disadvantages: bulkier than other types, needs a wrap
...some terries.
These are the traditional terry rectangles, but you no longer have to do fancy folds and pins if you do not wish to. You can simply fold into thirds, pop into a water resistant air bratheable wrap, pop in a liner and velcro onto baby! Woohoo!
Terry is a very soft and absorbent material, but you already know this as you yourselves no doubt use terry towels upon exiting the bath or shower. Indeed, you can cut up threadbare towels ...

Hard work but some savings.
Review of Terry Nappies by
Bryn_Pearson
Advantages: save money, eco friendly
Disadvantages: lots of work.
...pluses and minuses of using terry nappies, some information about what you will need if you want to use them, and some opinions of a few brands.
The advantages of terry nappies: They cost less over time. Disposables cost ten pence a go, terrys several pounds, but over time they do work out cheaper. The other big advantage is that they are more environmentally friendly as disposable nappies do not rot quickly and are a waste issue.
Disadvantages: ...

Terry Nappies A Must
Review of Terry Nappies by
elvina
Advantages: Cheap & Very Handy
Disadvantages: Not as convenient as disposables
I know that terry nappies are out of date these days but when I was expecting my daughter my husband had the disposable or proper nappy debate. We compromised. As I am a stay at home mum I used terry nappies during the day sometimes and disposables at other times. Even if I only used one or two a day it saved money even taking into account the original outlay for the nappies, nappy bucket, liners and plastic pants. My daughter did not develop nappy ...

6,000 disposible nappies will be used by one baby
Review of Terry Nappies by
ronica90
Advantages: saves money and enivronment. Very fast drying
Disadvantages: have to be good at folding
...happened a friend had some terry squares which she had used for burp pads and said that I could have them. So I started to find out how to fold these thing which I found on a few sites on the web after doing a search. I started off on the 'chinese fold' which is quite small for newborns. I found even this fold was too big for my newborn, but he soon grew and then we had to thinking about changing the fold. Which we settled on the 'neat fold' after ...

Pah to pampers, huh to huggies!
Review of Terry Nappies by
cookie-queen
Advantages: Cheap, environmentally friendly, better for baby, never run out, Can be used for future babies.
Disadvantages: They don't stay on without a baby vest, drying without a tumble dryer in winter
...many different types there were. Terry squares, shaped, pre-fold, all in ones, separate pre folds/wraps. The list seemed to go on and on.
In the end we decided to stick with what we had first thought and went with terry squares. They seemed to have many advantages over the other types for us. Firstly we would only need to buy the initial lot because they can be folded to fit any baby where as the majority of others fit up to a certain weight then ...

Not as hard as you think
Review of Terry Nappies by
Rainbow2911
Advantages: Cheap and very absorbant
Disadvantages: Need folding
...I bought were the Boots Terry nappies, which cost £9.50 for 5, and are available from most boots stores, as well as their website. I would say that you would need at least 4 packs, depending on how often you are prepared to wash! Various accessories are needed to go with them, some of which (e.g. disposable liners, nappy pins) are available from boots also.
Boots terry nappies are large squares of cotton towelling. They can be folded into a large ...
