...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!).

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!

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I know that terry nappies are out of date these days but when I was expecting my daughter my husband had the disposable or proper nappy debate.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 ...

...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.

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 ... Read review

...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.

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 ... Read review
