    Itti Bitti D'lish SIOs

    I got fluffy mail today and in it was IB SIOs for #3. The inserts in the SIOs seem to not go together very well - whichever insert is on the bottom can't lie flat because its too long to fit nicely under where the top insert snaps in ITMS.

    Do they shrink when I wash them, and then fit nicely? They way they are at the moment makes it look as if there is going to be a little bulge either at the front of the back, which I think would be uncomfortable for bubs. I got the SIOs cos I figured they will dry more quickly than the AIOs, but if its a problem I'd rather see if I can send them back now before I wash them and swap them for AIOs instead.

    Thanks.

    They do shrink a bit but the amount of shrinkage varies quite a bit. I have some that end up being a bit small. I must admit I prefer the AIO's. I don't find much difference in the drying time.

    Yeah, they will shrink. And then when they're actually on the shell is stretched out more around bubs so makes more room itms. I prefer the AIO's too though, didn't find a difference in drying time.

    The shell will stretch out when you put them on, yeah, so they work fine.
    I think they dry a little quicker than the AIOs and I use the snap-in bits as boosters for bigger nappies now DD has grown out of the IBs i bought

    IB SIO's are the only non-pocket mcn's we've kept, I love them. I did find that there was a bulge when it was folded in my stash but for whatever reason, it fits perfectly when it is on DD1. We also use the SIO's as boosters for our pockets .

    Yeah I found they shrunk a bit, plus with the shell stretched around bub they fit in fine. I personally prefer AIO's with a mini booster, they seem a slimmer fit on my dd. I think SIO's do dry a bit quicker though

    Mine are like that and have never shrunk. I hate the way they fit together.

    Glad I found this thread because I thought the same thing. I got my fluffy mail, took them all apart to wash and was then like crap, they don't fit back together! I had figured when I have a little bum to put in them it might resolve itself. Thanks ladies.

    The curve of bubs bum takes up the extra. I have about 9 or 10 extra inserts for the sizes that I have so I could rotate dry and still wet (shells dried quicker) inserts through and they all seem about the same size - a bit too big when folded but fit just right when on DS.
