**NEW** Mother-ease Wizard Uno

Mother-ease nappies are at the forefront of nappy design since 1991. Wizard Uno is the best Mother-ease could design as an all-in-one nappy - amongst other features, the ultra high tech stay dry fabric is only patented to mother-ease.

 

• The Uno All in One cloth nappy is super slim fitting and cut for a perfect fit
• The inside surface layer of the Uno is a specially designed stay dry fabric.
• The Uno cloth diaper has the cover and absorbent component separated through the legs. This allows to create 2 lines of defense against leaks.
• The wick resistant binding has a unique quality that helps reduce liquid from wicking from the inside of the diaper to the outer clothing.
• The nappy separates it’s layers during the wash cycle turning itself to the drum of the machine for maximum water extraction and minimal drying times.
• The Uno cloth diaper has a large opening at the legs that is perfectly suited for stuffing an absorbent liner/booster between the absorbent component and the cover.

Cloth Nappy Types Explained

Modern cloth nappies are usually categorised in three types.

All-in-one nappies (AIO) are, as its name suggests, in one piece rather like the disposable. The nappy consists of layers of absorbent material sewn to the waterproof outer layer
advantages:easy-to-use one-piece
disavantages: longer drying time because waterproof layer prevents air going through some of the other layers when drying
show all all-in-one nappies

Pocket nappies are made from a waterproof material on the outside and a single layer of soft fabric on the inside. The nappy has a slot, normally located at the back, where an absorbent insert is fitted in. The absorbent insert can be removed for washing and to dry quickly.
advantages: easy to use, super-absorbent materials and very quick to dry
disavantages: made mainly from man-made materials, e.g microterry
>show all pocket nappies

Nappy + Wrap system, (also called the two-part system. Some online sites also refer to it in a simpler term as "the shaped nappy") consists of a shaped nappy made entirely from a absorbent material. The nappy then will need to be used with a separate waterproof wrap (also called nappy cover), making it a very reliable system.
advantages: the absorbent area is the entire nappy itself - so bigger absorbent area, and choice of cloth nappies made from natural materials, such as cotton, organic cotton, hemp and bamboo
disavantages: two separate pieces (nappy and wrap) purchased separately although you will only need 1 wrap for every 5 cloth nappies
The waterproof wraps are no longer made from uncomfortable crackly plastic. They are now manufactured in soft polyester called PUL. This is a breathable waterproof material that will not condense the moisture inside the nappy.

Other more traditional cloth nappies are square terries and prefold nappies

My hat was a bear

The Queen's Guard in England uses hats made from bear skins. I did not know this. Did you?

It is unbeliavable that the english goverment buy these hats for their guards and hence supporting a very cruel industry. The headpieces could easily be made from faux fur (or fake fur). PETA is calling for everyone to support their campaign Stop the Slaughter of Bears for Caps as they are trying to take this matter to MPs, Ministry of Defence and Prince Charles.

Whale hunt on BBC's Human Planet - video clip

If you have time see bbc's human planet series for the breathtaking images of human's relationship with nature all over the world.

This video clip shows a whale hunt on Lembata island in Indonesia. The whale hunters only have small wooden boats and hand-made harpoons. To kill the whale they jump into the sea to harpoon the whale.

A very well done series with breathtaking images and acts of pure bravery and skills from people around the world. This whale hunt is very upsetting though because whales are such sophisticated animals who do not deserve to be hunted and killed. As such, it caused controvorsey with many viewers complaining about the impartiliaty of the BBC.

The BBC text reads like this:
"With simple wooden boats and hand-made weapons, the whalers seem ill-prepared for battle, but this is how whale hunting’s been done for six hundred years off the small Indonesian island of Lembata. After an epic eight hour battle the whale slowly tires and a final cut through its backbone is made. The death of a whale may be sad to us, but one catch can feed a village for months. This small scale hunt on Lembata doesn’t threaten whale numbers in these oceans."
