Itti AIO Vs SIO

I am looking at getting a Bakers Dozen pack of Itti Bitti's and am debating whether to get just an AIO pack or a half and half pack. At the moment we mostly have AIO's and only 2 SIO's. Two isn't really enough to compare - so I haven't really noticed a difference in absorbancy. I have noticed that the snap in's take just as long to dry as the AIO's (although the outer obviously dries much faster).

I've noticed on here that most (I think?) people like the SIO's better - is that for any reason that I should be aware of before committing to buying just an AIO pack? I want the nappies to last for quite a long time (i.e. for more than one child) as it is quite a lot of money - is there any recommendation for one over the other for this reason?

TIA

I like them both equally!!

I do find that it is easier to tell when the SIO is 'full' whereas the AIO is a little more difficult cause the hidden padding.

Also I bought an extra set of inserts for my SIO's so doubled my quantity at a cheaper cost.

I had an equal quantity of both and ended up swapping or selling most of my SIO as I prefer the AIO's. I found that there was a lot of droop at the front where the snap in snaps were and the fit of the AIO just seems better on Joel. Thats just me though.

I definitely thought that the SIO's were a lot more absorbent. Livvy was a very heavy wetter and the AIO's would only last a short time compared to the SIO.

I like the SIO. I find them to be more cost effective cause you can buy more inners as the outers dry so quick.

SIOs definitely worked better for James when he was doing his mega pees! I couldnt understand what the problem was until I asked at mothers instinct and Karyn said they are "slightly" more absorbent..

I have mainly SIO and so wish there were AIOs when I bought most of mine they are so much easier and just sit better. I also find other people can't get the hang of SIOs and seem to leave bits hanging out which lead to leaks.

Also I never could just take the soakers out as the fluff would always have a wee bit of wees on it so for me buying extra snap ins was a waste of money.

i like snapping mine too.

i prefer SIOs, can definatly tell the difference with the absorbtion compared to the AIOs. Like have the AIOs for DP and others if they are changing him. SIOs would boggle him lol.

hmmm food for thought and no closer to deciding! I haver twins so will be getting 2xbakers doz. Just not sure which! Leaning towards aio's though :)

This is the girls in there first itti's. one is a aio one is a sio
