I am selling all my nappies! 
It had to happen sooner or later, I just listed 50 of them on TM for $1 reserve! I've decided to get rid of all of them and stock up on the Bitti D'lish sewn ins as they're the best I've tried in terms of ease of use and absorbency - minimum fuss, just like a sposie only you have to wash them. So I've ordered 2 doz from Karyn and now selling all the rest to pay for them. Kinda sad tho, there goes my legendary nappy stash! -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Well Emma, I have no need for nappies atm but I'll be looking into Bitti D'Lish when the time comes because if they're the best you've tried that's one heck of a recommendation -------------

The Bitti D'lish are awesome! Although were getting the snap in ones to aid with drying times. I have just got one to test it out but am convincing hubby that we NEED to get at least 6 more... although im trying for a dozen. They are so soft and beautiful and super absorbent. Does anyone know if the outside material wears well over time though?

Actually I was surprised to hear my DH comment yesterday (when changing a D'lish) "These are daddy's favourite nappies" - when I asked why he said that they were the easiest to put on! We also have Fuzzis, HC, Foxybots & BG so that's a pretty good recommendation. I actually thought he might be put off by the snap in inserts (they can be a bit fiddly compared with pocket nappies) but he said he loves them. Will help my case when I want to buy mediums for the next bubba -------------

Minky outer nappies shouldn't wear over time if you wash in cold or warm water. When I buy my fabric for my nappies the supplier always has a big notice on the packing slip to not hot wash the fabric

They are awesome nappies. I am only sad that Isaac toilet trained, and was pretty much out of naps when I started stocking them. I think, like Emma I would have gone for these when Isaac was younger, out of ease of use for sure. I also loved trim nappies, but everything really trim seemed to leak . These nappies just seem to take all that is thrown at them
We are excited that we now have some new stockists to spread the word: Tweedle Busy Behinds Bumbles Scarecrow Farm Snazzipants (will be stocking AIOs only) Busy Behinds and Bumbles will be exhibiting them at the Parent and Child Show in Wellington next weekend so if anyone is is Wellington, pop along and have a touchy feely!! And Emma, I will sort out your order tonight so hopefully get them out on Monday for you, arrival Tuesday ------------- Karyn Mum to J (7 years) and I (4) |

What is the fit like, is there any gaping around the legs? ------------- Karyn Mum to J (7 years) and I (4) |
Posted By: kiwivic
Date Posted: 30 August 2008 at 8:34pm
Are the inserts sopping, or is it a fit issue? My only guess would be the fit, if the legs aren't done up snug enough, or he needs to upsize? They last as long as any pocket nappy with an insert & booster for us. -------------

I think they are getting a bit on the small side but I can still do them up with snaps to spare. They are leaking right through....as in front is wet. I wonder if the rise is too low and it is seeping up and over. I'd love to crack it as I like these nappies. When we first got them he lasted 4 hours.
Today is nappy stripping day (what a mission) and I am doing every nappy.....once a year aint bad. Lets see if there is an improvement.
The other thing that is stopping me buying more itti bitti's is the pile of nappies I have cut out ready to sew. I got a bit carried away and cut more fabric than I had meant to. I have about 10 nappies to make.
Sorry for the thread jack Emma. |

Ooo I love the sewn ins too def our faves and find they fit Jack a bit better than the snap ins.
I have been using the snap ins for a while and recenty got some new ones and did notice the old ones aren't as fluffy but if you don't have new ones to compare you cannot tell. They still look brand new. |

I have one sewn in and 3 snap in and I find they take the same time to dry, the hempy bit of the snap in takes as long as the sewn in bit (hope that makes sense).
I want to get some more d'lish for new bubba but DH isn't convinced yet. I would love to entirely swap my stash for all d'lish they are awesome. -------------

How did you get on with the strip - is it performing any better for you? Are you using the medium size now ... I am just wondering if you are whether you need to go up to the next size for more rise? ------------- Karyn Mum to J (7 years) and I (4) |

not that often. I've done it once in 1 year. |
Posted By: krisha
Date Posted: 03 October 2008 at 8:50pm

thanks heaps, had never heard of that before, so once a year is fine? or do you do it more often if you find that they arent as absorbant?
we are using some peapods and some home made (new off trademe) but am wanting to buy some more (love itti bitti ones!) any one recommend any?? my son is 11mths old and i am 3 1/2mths pregnant :) |

krisha... I think I was doing it once every few months or so.
What you can do to check is run some water onto the fleece and see if it pools or is absorbed straight through the fleece. If it pools then it's a build up issue that can be resolved (for a while) by stripping... if it absorbs through then it might be a sizing issue or absorbency issue (among other things!) that is causing leaks. Hope that helps! And as far as recommendations go.... a hire kit?? That might help suss out what sort of system and brands work best for you. there are heaps of cute nappies around the place. By the time you have your babe you'll be an expert! |

thanks heaps, :) not really having absorbancy issues, althou he is needing them changed every 2-3 hours.. is this normal? maybe i need to put more inserts in them! ------------- http://lilypie.com">   ]

Personally, I prefer to get 3-4hrs out out of my nappies. At about your son's age I found my nappies were only lasting around 2hrs so I started adding a booster to get us back to 3-4hrs of absorbency. -------------

As for recommendations, i havent tried many different types but we have a growing stash of Itti bittis and Honey Child and we love them both! I just got a stash of Fuzzis for my nearly 3 year old who refuses the potty. He slept in them last night for the first time, with a insert and a super soaker hemp insert and there were no leaks. He is a very heavy wetter too. Miss Aliana hasnt had a leak from either itii or HC but would leak EVERY time we had her in a huggies sposie! ------------- http://lilypie.com"> tickers" /></a>
