The Real Deal With Cloth Diapers in Hong Kong?

[RileyC]

I am also investigating cloth diapers, and have found the cloth diaper reviews on youtube to be rather informative. Just type in the brand of cloth diapers you are researching.

Can anyone give any feedback on the Charlie Banana cloth diapers, which are available at ThreeSixty? Any good?

RileyC - I'm seriously considering buying the Charlie Banana nappies from 360. The price seems reasonable and I like the fact they can be used with either the cloth or disposable inserts. Additionally the website says you can wash in cold water (but recommends hanging in the sun). I haven't found any HK reviews but checked on Amazon and the reviews there are overall favourable, it seems a lot of Fuzzi Bunz users like them.

I also have Motherease which I used for my first from around 18 months, but I only ever used them at home and thus didn't bother with a cover or inserts. For the second I want something that has everything in one hence my interest in CB nappies.

Ozmerc, we should exchange notes on CB! I've decided to take the plunge and see how it goes. If I don't like it, I can always try something else.

I'm also using cloth diaper for my baby at home. I use muslin, nappy liner and then a water proof cover. I recommend to use cloth diaper when baby don't poo as much or the poo is not as liquid. The liner is really a life saver when my baby poo on a cloth diaper. I then use disposable when I am out.

Hi ladies,

Have you had a chance to try to Charlie Banana diapers yet? I'm curious to know the results. Any problems with leaking? I saw them at Jason's marketplace and they seem decently priced.

Thanks!

If anyone is interested, I have 3 rumparooz all-in-one cloth diapers (includes 2 inserts for each diaper), wet bag, diaper pail bag, that I'd like to sell. The diapers are adjustable and can be used from newborn on. They were ordered new from the US. I was given these but found I prefer flats with water proof covers, so never used them.

evgreen - I've been using charlie banana diapers for a week now for my newborn. I bought 'one size' and they are pretty big on a 4kg baby, but both the waist and legs are adjustable. They seem to be fine - no major leakages so far (though a newborn doesn't produce that much!) and I'm happy with them. I chose them for the price (around $750 for about 6 diapers and inserts) plus they have a disposable system option (disposable inserts instead of cloth inserts) and they say to wash them in cold water or water less than 40 C. We only have cold water at home and some cloth diaper brands recommend warm to hot water. I figured out that we'd pay for them in around 2-3 months by using them in place of disposables.

thanks, ozmerc. very useful information. I'll probably give them a try. the amazon reviews look promising as well.

I just bought 12 size small Charlie banana diapers from 360. They are on promotion for $719/pack of six. It's even cheaper than the web sale price offered on Charliebanana.com...apparently they are a HK based company made in china which makes me feel better about buying from a local company!

Not yet, but that's only because my baby hasn't arrived yet!
