Afternoon folks!
I have spent the last three months travelling around south east Asia and will be visiting New Zealand at the end of this month for 3 weeks. It’s been a while and I feel need for some decent nappies!
I’ve had a search and it appears to be quite difficult to get hold of any. I’m looking for proper plastic backed nappies, none of this cloth rubbish! Can anyone advise the best way to get some? I’ve seen Nurse Maude and Dr P but no idea if they are any good or plastic backed.
Failing that does anyone have any for sale or about to place a bigger order I could chip in? I guess I’m after about 10 or so.
I fly into Auckland for a few days, then fly to Christchurch where I will pick up a hire car and drive back to Auckland. Since I have an internal flight, and won’t have access to a car then, it would be easier to pick up nappies in Christchurch, or somewhere near in the South Island. I am aware beggars can’t be choosers though and I’ll take whatever I can get.
Ta for help in advance!
A wondering limey.
 
Gutted. I won’t be in one place long enough, or know where I am staying in advance, to order anything off the internet myself.
Anyone got some they would like to sell?
 
vexred, nurse maude sells Molicare, also there is another is BL Stringer https://healthcare.blstringer.co.nz/continence/all-in-ones/ultra-maxi-2300-4300mls
They are not a shop as such, more a distributer but you can phone up, make cc payment then drive up and collect a box or 2, the product is pretty decent, they useto stock plastic backed egosans, email them up and ask if they have any in stock or can obtain.
Both are in the chch area, there are no doubt a few healthcare shops around town who maybe able to order them in for you and hold till you collect.
Auckland area has more options
 
Thank you for the information. I wasn't sure if Molicare still produced plastic backed nappies, although NM also supply Attends and I believe they do. I shall email them and ask.
If Auckland has more suppliers, are there any you would recommend? If it is worth the hassle I would visit.

Thanks again for your help.
 
I had the same issue a few months ago. I couldnt find any shops in Auckland selling diapers worth buying. I did find a store in Christchurch online, so we started the roadtrip and made Christchurch the first and highest priority stop on the South island.

They are super friendly and helpful :)

What size are you. I have some bambino magnificos and classicos that I'm too small for now. They are larges. If not nurse Maude supplies the plastic backed molicares. You could have them sent to your first place of accomodation.
