Rule #6 - Try a cloth nappy before you invest in it!

Well, you wouldn't go out and buy 24 pairs of jeans without trying them on. Nor should you buy 30 nappies without giving one a go first.

Grab a Trial Pack to test out our nappies - You can even pick the colours!

Each cloth nappy will offer a different fit. Crutch width, rise, how much room there are in the legs for chubby or skinny thighs and how big the sizing will go to, will all differ.

You may think you want a whole stash of all in one nappies only to discover in the cold and wet they will not dry through the winter where you live. Every one of your friends and facebook group members may tell you to buy one particular nappy. But I recommend, regardless of what you think you will do, to buy a trial nappy first.

It is for this reason we have our trial pack. Our pack comes with two nappies and a night booster. You can try our nappies for the day time and the night time to see how they suit your child. If you love them, come back and buy more! Our nappies are generally a good in between fit. They accommodate children of all different sizes. They are a trim nappy, but not so trim that bigger babies sport them more as bikini briefs then nappies!

I have known many parents who have bought a full set of a particular brand of nappy only to sell them shortly after they start using them. They find that the fit or the style of nappy is not compatible with their lifestyle and child.

If a trial pack is too limited for you, or you feel you would have to invest in 10 trial nappies to work out what you like, consider a nappy library. A nappy library is an arrangement whereby you hire a range of nappies for a set period of time. You get to look, feel and test each nappy to work out what suits you, your child and your budget. This is an absolutely fabulous idea. You can seek advice on each product and get personalised service from the nappy 'librarian' who is working to help get you into a nappy system that suits you!

I recommend contacting Apikali about their library. It is one of the best libraries in the country. A huge range of nappies and accessories to try. You can then receive excellent advice (and fabulous deals) on your choice of nappy. What's even better is that our Baby Bare Cub nappy is in the library at Apikali and you can have a trial of it.

So, if you want to try out our great nappies I recommend either investing in a trial pack ($36 for two brand new nappies, a night booster and a minky cloth wipe) or contacting Apikali to see our nappy in their full library pack range.
