Default Honeyboys size selection

I was just wanting some advice on selecting sizes for CK Honeyboys. I am getting a 7 or 8 pack custom order in the near future and need some advice before I put in the order. I am just a bit unsure how the sizes of the different brands of AIO's I have already purchased, compare to the CK Honeyboys.

I would optimally like to have a few 'show off' AIO nappies for going out in each size (NB, Small and Med).
I already have: 1 x NB and 1 x small Bubblebubs AIO's, 1 x Small Lou Lou Honeyboy (seems quite large sizing), 1 x XS BumGenius AIO, 1 x Small Rumpster.

I am going to be getting 7 or 8 Honeyboys, any advice on size/number combinations that would be most cost effective for me?

Thanks Kathok

I say get Smalls/mediums i had a NB not CK though and it lasted 3weeks was a waste, but best get small least they last longer. Also BB newborn they just don't last unless you have small babies which i don't lol, but go smalls least you get a lot longer use out of them. I say get 3-4 NB just for the first 3-4 weeks if you wanted to show off hehe i did lol then get smalls.

Lucky you 8 HB very jealous hehe i have 2 and they really get worn lol, good luck

Nod... HB! do run larger sizes (somewhat similar to Bubblebubs) my chubby bubba is best suited to medium long at approx 10.5kg and just shy of 10mths. I never owned a NB HB! however I had NB Raphaels and found they lasted and were definitely worth the money.

Looking back I'd probably stick with the raphaels/terries/prefolds in NB stage, a small variety for the small stage and then stock up on medium or medium long as they're the ones that will get the most use... but that's JMHO!

I think mediums fit forever dont' they? They are quite large around the waist measurements, so I'd talk to Lesley and if necessary she may be able to add a bit of touchtape so you can cross the tabs over at the waist

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh how do you get a custom 8 pack???????????

8 custom HBs would be my dream come true

I would go a few small and the rest medium.....My 2 year olds still wear their mediums with heaps of room for growth and the mediums fit pretty early on too

Big Green Frog

Just email Lesley, there is a link from the CK website about "heavenly packs" (not sure if they are really custom though, I'm just assuming).

There is a fairly long wait for bulk packs though, but this doesn't really worry me as I am not due till July.

I just thought this might be the best way for me to finally get some CK honeyboys. Everybody raves about them. They don't seem to come up very often and I don't have broadband to hyena them anyway. Someone also said that the NB ones are few and far between.

I have personally found AIOs to be better for older bubs rather than newborns, mainly because there are so many more nappy changes for a newborn, I preferred a fitted with a cover I could reuse a few times.

I've found Medium to be a good size. Isabel is now 16 months old and she still has a lot of growing room in them. I don't know if she will ever fit into a large!
