Shopping guide
OK, so you've read all the information, you've looked at the terry nappies and the wraps. You've even read through the accessories page. And now your head is spinning, and the kettle can't boil fast enough for you!
Don't worry, it's not uncommon to find it all a bit mind-boggling at first, but it will all click, I promise! In the meantime, here is a shopping list to help you decide what you need to buy, and how much! Please remember that this is just a guideline - your own needs may vary. Not everything on this list is essential by any means - but it all goes towards making life a little easier! Please feel free to print this shopping list, and take it with you, wherever you happen to be doing your nappy shopping! Where list items appear as links, clicking on them will take you to the page - and sometimes even the right part of the page - where this item is sold by Terry Nappies .co.uk.
Two or more in terries? You'll need to buy enough nappy wraps for each child, but you shouldn't need to double up on nappies, depending on what you want to buy and the ages of your children. For twins, or different age siblings in birth to potty nappies, I would suggest you get 50% more nappies than the quantity below. If you have different age children in different sizes of nappy, then you will need to get a full set for each child. Do remember to bear in mind how often you intend to wash.
