Hi, my husband and I have been looking at different brands and overall options for cloth diapers/nappies here in Switzerland. Does anyone already have an experience purchasing cloth diapers here? Any favorite brands? Anyone have any they are no longer using and willing to give away or sell?
Any help or info would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Here's an ad that someone (not me!) is selling the starter pack and 1st stage cloth nappies:

You can get an idea of Swiss prices for real nappies on the following site:
http://www.babyfein.ch/index.php?cat...eberhosen.html
The nappy wraps alone retail at about 20 CHF each.

For those interested, here is a really good UK site all about cloth nappies, the various systems and how to use them (along with specifics about the items I am selling):

Collection only (from Thalwil).

Please PM me if interested.

Kind regards

I have found it is much cheaper to order them from the UK, even when paying p&p. Plus I haven't actually been able to find any nappies here that aren't something that would've been used 10+ years ago! The new generation of cloth nappies are awesome There are French sites that I ordered from once (I live on the border) before I realised you can buy the same half price in the UK.

I have a 10 month old and the second baby is expected in October, so will be using them on both babies.

Oh, and my house does not smell! I have a nappy bin, I actually stick a sanitary pad on the inside of the lid and put drops of lavendar oil on there.

I use eco-laundry detergent, which doesn't have enzymes and is better for skin and the environment (and recommended for cloth nappies). You can find it in france, and the bio shops in Switzerland, but again cheaper if you're able to bring some over from the UK.

Some sites I use for nappies are:
www.babipur.com
www.jabulanappies.co.uk
www.cheeksandcherries.co.uk
www.babykind.co.uk

I love bumgenuis organic all in one nappies, novice fool-proof

p.s I actually have a load of nappies to sell, just need to take photos and put them up.

I just posted some for sale

FOR SALE - cloth nappies/diapers

I have been using cloth diapers/nappies for over a year and I love them. In fact, I need more!!

I use babykind.co.uk for ordering "locally" and when I buy US items I have them sent to my mom who then sends them to me.

I can NEVER understand why people who DON'T USE CLOTH need to jump into a discussion just to let you know that they use Pampers?! So?

If you don't want to use them, don't, but who cares what other people do?

My house does not stink, and I don't do a ton of laundry. I'd rather not wrap my kid's bottom in plastic. Regardless of whatever your argument for what you do is, that's what it boils down to for me.

Anyway.

Good for those of you who persevere. It's a tough thing to have to listen to people critique your choices when it's not any of their business.

There is a brand of cloths nappies called bumgenius and they are great. It is an all in one system and of all the nappies out there is the one that's smaller, lighter, dries quicker and can go all the way from birth to potty trained child.

I bought mine from a group in Kensington called real nappies for London and they offer amazing prices. They do postal orders too but I don't have the address right now so if you are interested please PM me and I'll send you the details.

I have a whole set and it is practically unused because my daughter is allergic to several brands of nappies and the cloth nappy can be a little too moist if not changed immediately, causing more reaction to her skin so real nappies didn't work for me but the many times I used them they are very good. If any one wants to see them I'm more than happy to.

Here is the link to where I got my bum genius from and she delivers to Europe. Sorry it took so ling, but I really had to look for it!

If you are interested to know what they look like and how it works, here are some links to you tube:



I hope you find what you need!

Hi All

As I have no takers on the complete bundle of nappies (which is understandable really as anyone trying them for a new baby would want to see how they go before committing to getting a large supply in), I can sell them separately.

To keep things simple I will sell all items for 5 CHF each (i.e nappies for 5 CHF and wraps/covers for 5 CHF each)

Whoever buys the one-size nappies can have the all the liners for free:
4 x pop-in liners for Motherease/Popolini nappies
1 roll of disposable liners
1 x fleece nappy liner



and whoever buys the cotton bottom wraps can have the pre-fold cloth nappies for free:
8 x pre-fold cloth nappies


Priority will go to whoever will take the most items. Pls see my previous post in this thread for link to pics and specifics of what is available.

Many thanks

I just wanted to post this really informative chart about cloth vs. disposable. We always thought that the amount of water/energy used to wash cloth diapers would negate the benefits of using them, but it turns out that it still is worth it. Especially nowadays with washing machines using so much less water/energy...it also helps if you line dry your cloth diapers too.
This is in no way to judge people who use disposables....just wanted to throw some information out there about cloth diapers.

I used these. And when you flush the poo part in the toilet and put the diapers in a bucket full of water you won't smell anything.

This is a really interesting thread. I'm hoping to use cloth nappies. I'm confident that they are better overall for the environment when looking at the full lifetime of both types, from production to disposal.

Cn anyone recommend any good microfibre brands? I've heard they are much quicker drying, making a tumble dryer less necessary (we only have access to one once a week!)
