If you used pockets you could rinse them in the sink/bath/shower and hang them somewhere to dry so you could bring them back dry (wouldn't weigh as much as wet nappies). Liners is a good idea too!

are you driving or flying there?

yeah the large bummi's bags are tops - we used one as our wetbag when we were travelling for a month earlier this year and we could fit probably 3 days worth of nappies in there. Just use some pail pals or something if you are worried about the smell. We just put the wetbag inside our luggage and it was fine

if the hotel has it's own pre-paid laundry, just take enough powder in a ziplock bag or something if you really want to wash, but if you are only going for a few days, just enjoy the holiday and worry about the washing when you get back

I'll contact the hotel if they have a pre-paid laundromat. I dread the idea of going to the laundromat and wait for the nappies to washed and dried

Yup definitely flushable liners I will also take lots of pockets and quick dry aios with me, and fitteds for night. It's only 3 days so it's probably not worth doing the laundry I'll pop some detergent in a zip lock bag just in case anyway, since they're mostly pockets so it should be easy to wash in the shower

Still not sure if I should just use plastic bags or get a bummis bag

Bag them up Ying and have a big wash when you get back home. Enjoy your holiday.

Bring them home. You have plenty and I am sure you can think of better things to do on your holiday then wash and dry nappies

ETA: gee I am a bit late... teach me to post at 12.15am...

HAHA! I was reading it thinking - she's going to have more than 15 nappies with a newborn - then looked at the date!
