LO is starting preschool soon, and I need to label all of her stuff. Does anyone have an opinion on one brand over another? Mabel's Labels? Name Bubbles?

inchbug. 2 years of washing LO's bottles, sippy cups, bowls, etc and none have washed off, peeled off or are even threatening to peel off.

I ordered inchbug recently because they were a) a little cheaper than the others, b) gives me just the right amount to start (example: 40 small clothes label tags versus 70 or 80), c) were recommended by Mrs. Bee, and d) with my very recent purchase I got a year of Parents and BHG (which both subscriptions of mine had lapsed so that was a great bonus)! I'm still waiting on them to arrive but I'm excited
Glad to hear they hold up so well @aegie: !!

I have Mabel's Labels and they've held up in the wash 9 months later! I've even trasnferred some of them from his smaller/outgrown clothes to his new/bigger clothes, and they still hold on tight!

We got some from namebubbles and have been happy with them. They go through the dishwasher and laundry just fine.

I haven't used the washable labels yet - these are great tips - but we have the inch bug orbit with her name on them for her bottles at daycare. We also use washi tape and sharpie. That goes through the dishwasher just fine. Cheap idea haha!

We use name bubbles for LOs daycare items and so far they've held up great (6 months of use). I believe you can get a discount coupon by recommending them to multiple people. Aka: provide multiple email addresses and they give you a percentage off code - I used my and DHs work emails so you may want to check the site for that option.

I think namebubbles looks the cutest, and has the best website. They've also held up great - I've had DD in daycare for 2+ years, and have yet to use them all up.

We have Mabels Labels. Have used them on clothing and bottles for the last 10 months, they have held up great.

@autumnlove: @hellobeeboston: and I'm a total sucker for products with awards like this attached to them too - it immediately draws my attention:

If you have another LO of the same gender and plan to reuse the labeled clothes, can you remove the old labels? Cover them with new ones?
Same for bottles and lunch boxes and crib sheets?

@Myicitygirl: with name bubbles they can be removed. Its a little tougher to remove from clothes, but it can be done. Not sure about the other brands.

Thanks Mrs. high heels. olivers labels state they are removable as well.
So a lot of toddler shirts, for example by Carters, dont have tags at the neck. Do you put the labels on the care tags that are inside near the hem? Or right on the fabric of the shirt?

@Myicitygirl: I put it directly on the fabric of the shirt - I'll wall you a picture of one of my son's shirts.
