Shaking the 'lump' off the nappy is fine until they have sat on it and bounced around for a while, thoroughly spreading it out and embedding it into the weave of the terry lol
I found nappy liners a godsend and they certainly helped me to use terry nappies a lot longer than if they hadn't been available.

I use re-usable liners (just a square off of a cheap fleece blanket) they are great for shaking the poop off (It gets all squished and yik into the pile if you don't use a liner IMO)
I also have flushable liners but I rarley use them since we have a septic tank so you need to put it all in the bin, I'd rather flush the poop and wash the rest.

I am the opposite way around from khitajrah, I used nature babycare for a year then switched to terries (still using babycare overnight though) but I can hear the potty calling.

Good to see this report, I get sick of people telling me they aren't better than disposables.

The terries have got to be better haven't they. I had 36 terry squares to start off with and was still using the same 36 nappies when I had my third. They were still snowy white when I no longer needed them - if a little thinner - and they got passed on to a friend for her third baby.
Does anyone remember the flat plastic pants that tied at each side? They were great as there was no elastic to cut in and they didn't go brittle and crack. Does anyone know if you can still get them?

I don't know if this is of any use or interest to anyone, but you can get packs of 3 white microfibre squares in the value range at Tecso for £1.00. They are for dusting etc, but are identical to some of the washable nappy liners I have seen on sale elsewhere for considerably more.

Hi

Just to let you know that I am the new Project Officer for Grampian Real Nappy Project having taken over the role from Sharon.

Also for any Parents out there that would like to trial a selection of real nappies I can organise a two week trial for you free of charge, Just contact me and we can take it from there.

We also buy and sell preloved nappies so any parents out there that do not require their nappies or need to stock up on some more please call me.

Lastly as a charity we rely heavily on volunteers from any area within Grampian - can you spare a couple of hours a week - then again please contact me on details below.
