We had a talk from someone at the Real Nappy network at our antenatal class last night and I just wondered if anyone here has any experience of using the flat cloth bamboo nappies? I had initially been put off cloth nappies because of the initial start up costs of the shaped nappies and didn't like the thought of using cotton terry nappies because I think they feel a bit rough. I had never heard of bamboo flat nappy cloth and was really amazed by how soft they felt and also how non-bulky they were. The woman demonstrated a couple of folds (which she made the OH's do) and they seemed pretty simple. The best thing about them was that I've now found them on a website for £2.55 each which is far better than the price of shaped cloth nappies for around £6 per nappy.
Has anyone used them? What did you think? Also I don't have a tumble drier which has always slightly worried me about getting them dry in time. We were planning to use the Nature Babycare Eco-disposables anyway and probably still will if we are out and about, just for ease.
The woman said that keeping a baby in disposables will easily cost about £900 approx from birth to potty and that makes these bamboo terry cloth nappies an amazing saving. I'm still not entirely convinced but I am leaning that way!
