* Alvababy color snap/C series diaper
&
* Squishy Butts OS XL
I'll start with the Alvababy!
I've just ordered 26 of the Alvababy after researching, reading/watching reviews & chatting to other mums who use & love them!..
She also said the sizing was really good & runs bigger then most MCN on the market.
* It has 4 adjustable sizes & fits newborns-toddler (3kg-15kg, most only fit from 4-6 weeks)
* Double leg gussets to contain any messes
* A double row of snaps so you can adjust the waist/thighs
* A hip snap to stop the waist band from untucking
Here are some reviews from a stay at home Mum who uses the Alvababy nappy on both of her children..
She compares it against a more expensive nappy the 'Go green champ 2.0' which the the EXACT same, but retails for $15.99 US instead of $6.99 US.
You can find them at this website for $6.99 US - $6.59 AU per nappy

OR
Alternatively buy a pack of 7 for $45.99 US - that works out to be $43 AU dollars at $6.14 per nappy.

It all adds up when you buy in bulk!
I bought 21... 3 of the 7 packs and paid $137.97 US which worked out to be $130.20 AU
PLUS
One of their regular spongebob nappies.. (I couldn't resist, it was only like $4?)
+ a few more colour snap nappies
(I've ordered multiple of all colours except red)
& a cute waterproof camo 'wet bag' to keep everything in & contain smells when we are out & about..
They also have FREE SHIPPING on ANY order.. or, if you purchase 20+ nappies they will EXPRESS ship it to you for FREE..
Which means my nappies should be here in a about a weeks time! YAY!
Now for the Squishy Butt OS XL!!
Sabrinas online shop link!!!
http://hyenacart.com/stores/SquishyButts/
*** For every $60 spent you will receive a FREE personalised small blankie!!***
Everyone is raving about how amazing these nappies are and just from looking at Sabrina's photos you can tell the quality is impeccable!

** Choose the folders named 'Things i've created ____' to browse her gorgeous selection of personalised nappies she has made for other mummies!
She makes these herself from the comfort of her own home & puts so much time & effort into making sure these are perfect before she sends them out.
They have all of the same features as the Alvababy color snap diaper basically (If you go on Sabrina's shop page or Facebook page you will be able to customise your own order & decide what kind of nappy you would like)
I was a little hesitant to try these at first.. simply because they are more expensive then the alternative & more affordable ones made in China etc, but the fact that the proceeds go to a stay at home Mum who has dedicated her time/talents into personally trailing/customising/sewing this for me was well worth every dollar spent!
The prints etc are gorgeous as well!... Sooo.... I indulged a little! :)
I've ordered a 3 extra large one size nappies, which means it will fit from 6kg-20kg instead of the regular 'one size' nappy which fits from 4kg-15kg. Simply because Kees is a big baby & is out of the smaller size already & i have a MASSIVE stash of Alvababy nappies on its way that will fit from newborn+.
These are the prints I have selected from her fabric swatches & diaper styles etc that she is going to custom make for me, if you want any of her nappies please buy them NOW as she is going on maternity leave/having baby shortly & won't be doing as many orders until she is feeling up to it.
* The brown/cream damask in the XL OS, it is a pocket diaper with a 'stay dry' micro fleece lining, microfiber insert & double leg gussets.
* Green owl, in the exact same style etc as the above nappy
(although this one is the OS, with extra snaps for the varied size settings)
* BATMAN!!
- Also in the exact same style as the green owl nappy..
I've double checked to see if she can get this fabric in.. if she can I'm totally ordering a nappy made out of it! Its gorgeous!!!
*Mint & black damask
Now each nappy cost $29 each NOT including shipping.. per nappy i think its around $7-$9 for shipping? The prices will vary obviously & you will need to double check with Sabrina before placing an order if you want to double check.
It all depends on what kind of nappy you choose, wether or not you choose to get double leg gussets (for me this is a MUST to keep poopy explosions contained!).. Wether or not you choose a minky fabric, PUL or cotton/PUL combination etc..
DISPOSABLE NAPPY LINERS!!!
Now if you have been following my blog you will know i've been using re-usable/washable nappy liners to make 'poop duty easy' while at home.. I've decided i'd like the added luxury of clean up being easy while out & about instead of carrying a poopy liner around in my nappy bag until we get home.
I've gone ahead & ordered some disposable bamboo nappy liners!
When bubbie poops you simply take it out of the nappy & discard in the nappy disposal units provided or flush it down the toilet.
I got bamboo because it is naturally anti-bacterial..
The link is listed below for those of you who would like to invest in some.
I bought 200 for $22.95, the cheapest i could find for bamboo..

Once all of my nappies have arrived i'll most likely do a video review on them or blog on here!..
Keep an eye out and let me know if you'd like any extra info!!
