displacement theory!
As part of my working day I often have the pleasure of talking to people who are clearly as batty about nappies as me! Even surrounded by nappies and nappy paraphernalia day in, day out I still get excited about the prospect of testing something new and I still take the parcels of samples from manufacturers home as quickly as I can so the contents can be washed and tried out at the earliest possible moment (and yes, I know it won't be very absorbent after a single wash but hey, I can still evaluate the fit, can't I?)
I have a theory... when people have babies their spending habits understandably change and while it might not be possible to justify buying a new pair of shoes or a handbag for yourself - well, a new nappy? That's a necessity isn't it... especially if you are saving the planet at the same time!!
So, next time you give us a quick call to find out exactly when we'll have more Tots Wraps/Minki Huggles/Swaddlebees/Woollywraps in stock be warned... the 'former handbag addict' siren will be sounding in the background...

For me it's definitely "gadget displacement", I used to love having the latest mobile/laptop... but now I have to have the latest nappy instead!

I'm glad I'm not the only person to get excited about cloth nappies. My husband would call me a nappy bore.....
