Ticklefish Tots

I'm Cindy, WAHM to 4 gorgeous kids, self confessed cloth addict and enabler, and founder / owner / operator of Ticklefish Tots. I converted to cloth shortly after my youngest was born, as he suffered (and still does) from eczema, which disposables simply exacerbated. After realising and researching the cost effectiveness and environmental advantages of cloth, I also converted my then 2 year old.

I was very excited when I received my first lot of fluffy mail, and my second, and my third .... and so on! But it did disappoint me to see that, out of the many different brands of MCN, not alot were actually made in Australia, and I really wanted to make a difference. I also discovered some "fit" issues with both of my boys - I wanted longer tabs, so that they'd not only get more wear out of each nappy, but also to accommodate either more snaps, or more velcro, to alleviate the dreaded "wing droop"! And as they were both tummy sleepers, I wanted a higher rise so that waking after a nap wouldn't mean a whole new change of clothes due to the seeping wetness up their fronts!

So, within a matter of weeks had designed my own MCN which not only suited the needs of my children, but were also totally handmade in Australia by me!

I started Ticklefish Tots in May 2009, after almost a year of designing, researching, re-designing and testing my nappies. I have also recently started making kids pyjamas, woollen shortie soakers, have designed a wetbag which is yet to come into production, and am about to embark on a spring / summer line! And I love nothing better but supporting other Aussie WAHM's!
