At last just what I was looking for the waterproof pants, which do not make baby’s bottom all horrible and sweaty.
Weenees are very easy to use as they just velcro round the baby’s waist to the size you want to use. I wish I had found these years ago!
For waterproof pants these are a little expensive but they will last for years. They cost £5 for the standard ones and £8 for the deluxe model.
How do these wonder pants work do I hear you ask? It is so easy. They can be used with special pad which just slip into an elasticated part of the pants and then velcro onto the baby or else, now for the good bit. Fold a cloth nappy into a pad and fit it where the disposable pad would go. No worry about pins sticking into a baby, just put it in and velcro them on. What is really good is that my really thin and thread bare nappies I have been using for years are now just as useful as they have always been.
Are they any good as waterproof pants? Yes they are excellent. I have experienced no leaks since we have started to use these even though we have had problems down there (least said the better. And they are ‘breathable’ so there are no overheated bottoms as can be experienced with plastic pants.
The standard pants are quite basic and my only fault I have found is that they are slippery so my poor baby was slipping through her high chair. The deluxe pants have a padded cloth outer, which comes in a variety of designs plain white, brightly coloured and plaid are the ones I have noticed.
They are easy to wash just put them into the washing machine with the rest of baby’s clothes and they come out as good as new.
Where can you buy them. Out of this world is where I bought mine. They are apparently sold in health food shops and that sort of shop.
They have a web page but as that is based in Australia it would be more awkward to buy them through that. The page shows a whole range of products but I have not met them all.
When I bought my pants I was informed that they were having problems getting the pads to go into them not a problem for me but it might be for you. I have found a web page that supplies these products it is http://www.teamlollipop.co.uk/. Their prices are a little different to the prices I quoted.
The pads are apparently fully compostable which cannot be bad.
Advantages: Easy to use, Can be used with prefolds or fully compostable pads Disadvantages: Can't be used with shaped nappies, tend to leak if overstuffed
...longer uses them. He used Weenees at night.
I found the weenee wraps were great most of the time. I could choose from 2 standards, the deluxe and the standard wrap so I started out with the cheaper standard wrap. This one is a bit more plasticky and a bit thinner than the deluxe. It is also plain white. The deluxe is coloured and I got to choose the exact colour and pattern I wanted from a reasonable range. I went for red and blue denim at the time!
... ...them snug fitting but they did sit on my son's hips rather than his waist. I did try the compostable pads but felt guilty as I don't have the facilities to compost them so they went in the bin. I now know someone who puts hers in a wormery and the pads are gone within 90 days. In the end I used these for holidays in the main as they are lightweight and between the pad and the wrap they wash and dry incredibly quickly. I did have some leakage issues ...

Advantages: Easy to use Disadvantages: A bit pricey
...nappy systems, I stumbled across Weenees and found it to be one of the easiest reusable nappy systems. The Weenees wrap fastens with velcro at the back, all you need inside is a prefold nappy and a liner or a Weenees disposable pad which is fully biodegradable and can be flushed away. It's almost as easy as using disposables, at change time just replace the prefold and liner or the pad (whatever you choose to use) in the wrap and put back onto baby. ...

Advantages: Good for the environment Disadvantages: none
I think that all you mothers of young babys out there should take note of these. A friend of mine uses these and raves about them. They can be used with the old fashioned terry nappys folded into a pad or else with other pads. I do not know where you can get the pads but then again I do not have a baby to use these on. Why should all mothers use this sort of thing? Who am I to say? I pay my council tax and I pay for the disposal of tonnes of disposable ... ...landfill sites. If you mothers would just use something like this then the place would be much cleaner. I have parked in laybyes to be greeted with the sight of a poo filled disposable. If you used something like this then maybe there would be less horrible sites like this for me a childless woman to see. ...

Advantages: Resuable, convenient and economical Disadvantages: Slow to dry
...months ago I decided to have another look at what was available. As I had lots of towelling squares I was using them and I have found an excellent type of pants to use them with, I wrote my op in the reusable nappiesWeenees section called ‘It’s so easy’.
As an extra nappy for emergency use I bought a boots all in one nappy. This comprises of a waterproof outer with an absorbent inner. There is a flap of material, which is folded in different ways for boys and girls. All you have to do is fold the flap, put in a nappy liner for all those horrible fillings, and use the Velcro to put these on. These nappies are quick and easy to use.
The tests that must be done on a nappy include absorbency, wash-ability, dry-ability, and ease of use. I have now had this nappy to comment on each of these factors.
As far as...
