    Cheeky monkey, yeah that would be me with the 12 month old in a small itti, she is about 72cm tall and 7.5 kilos so yeah small.

    Missymoo, I thought dd would be big she was 4.155kg born but just slowed down in weight etc. Thanks for the sites will have a look at them. Trying to convince dh this is a good idea.

    WORB still in swadlebee as she is still asleep.

    CM - Maze Mania is cheaper (Lollipops costs me $18 before food and drinks with only 2 of the kids!)

    Finding out is going to be better than not knowing. It will make it easier to get help.

    Sweetpea - if it didnt look like she would have leg gape then DD3 would be able to wear medium ittis!! DD2 is 13kg and can wear the mediums though.

    Hey girls

    I shouldnt have read the thread today - I saw a Bumz store had 25% off and just HAD to have a look ....

    1 x Cookies & Cream Eco bub (which I wasnt going to buy )
    1 x Greenkids minky retro blue dot and insert
    2 x bamboo booster later

    ..... oh well, I figure I am selling my 7 x Medium Ittis and only have 4 large to replace them, so another 2 nappies will be fine

    Z has just started weeing through the Ecobubs with just the micro insert (as Sweetpea witnessed today!) hence the bamboo booster to put between the micro layers - does anyone just put a bamboo or hemp booster in anyway and leave the microfibre out??? How is the wicking??

    I have 1 x BBH Magicall - and I find it takes sooooo long to dry. it is a sized Medium - is there another type that everyone raves about cos I dont think I must have the right one??? it snaps as well ...

    Sami - my magicalls are the slowest drying of all our nappies. they take min 2 days and often need to be finished off in the dryer. that's why we only have 2. they are large and small.

    Hi ladies,

    well I am a bit dissapointed today. I have a fushia CT (one of the new "improved" type) which Em wore today and it leaked again for the 3rd time! Not just leaked... poor Em was soaked up to her arm pits after her sleep. I thought there was going to be a small prob with leg gape so I took out the booster before her nap but it didn't help. She was only in it for 2 hours. Normally she can stay in a CT for ages. Its a bugger cause I LOVE CTs why did they have to "improve" them!!!
    Other news....I feel crapola!!! I have a cold again!!! Must be the 3rd or 4th this year. blah

    I hope everyone else is good. Sounds like the postie is bringing some fluffy goodness to a few of you!!!

    hmmm , my magic alls dry pretty fast. i turn em inside out and face them directly to the sun , so they hang over 2 lines of the clothes horse ... not dangling down lenght ways , funny coz they are the 1st ones i grab as i know they'll be dry lol ... its all differnt eh ?? my sewn in ittis dry fast too i hang them the same way as the MA's .. are yours pocket ones SamiH ??? if they are the old style with no pocket , than yes ... those ones do take ages to dry

    lou lous - now they take AAAAGGGGES to dry !!!!

    whats been improved on the CTs ???
    dont you hate it when they wake up saturated , gabbi is in a MA smooth outer , been asleep for 3 hrs , so i must go in and change her soon ...

    going to see mr tax man tomorrow , then i will be able to dtermin my fluff spending , my aim is to get my itti layby off and thats it really ... has the perth baby expo been yet ??? i love another trial pack ... and want to see if someone can get me one ?? or is anyone parting with their med ittis ??

    I have to agree with Lea - my magicalls dry pretty damn fast. I also turn them inside out and have the microfibre facing upwards. *sigh* haven't hung any nappies on the line for weeks and weeks now.

    yes it is a pocket one ... I will try turning it inside out and see what happens - I was perplexed because I have read so many people say they dry so quick!! I thought I must have the "wrong" kind somehow LOL

    My boy was up with a 39.2 temp overnight - why - bleh, who knows - but he fed like 4 times overnight which is very rare - inbetween a bit of crying and playing on my bed for a while whilst some paracetamol kicked in - he usually feeds once every second night! - so here I am exhausted drinking coffee and trying to get the other two ready for school and pre-school today - i will look like the daggy mum who hasnt done her hair and is in trackies and jumpers with mascara smudged under her eyes ... i hate this tiredness

    Lea - i am selling 7 x Medium Ittis - 5 snap 2 sewn-in (1 x extra set of snapins) - someone is getting back to me in a few days as to whether she is going to take them, if not, do you want me to let you know and I can send you some pics if you like?? Just PM me if you are interested

    My CT's have never seemed to fit Z well - they are the two I have put in for the clothie swap - see what happens

    CM - Here's hoping the Doc gives you some better news

    Ezy - I didn't know they'd changed CT's - is that a recent thing? How? I find them one of my more temperamental nappies too, I LOVE them, I occasionally get wicking/leaking around the legs even when no gape, or up the back/front, and yet other times she can have a nap and be in one for 3 hours no worries. I think I've isolated the main problem for us though - - if DD does a poo and THEN wees it doesn't soak in it leaks wherever the nearest escape is. It's strange as don't have that problem with other nappies. But I love the CT's too much to hold it against them

    I have one PUL Magicall which I love because it is smooth under clothes and easiest to put on due to aplix for DH - but yeah, it takes a while to dry, I don't think it's much longer, but I usually judge when to take all the nappies off the line by feeling inside the magicall's pocket and if it's dry everything must be.

    Maaaaaannnnnn - I want an itti, even just one - all this talk about them all the time and I have nooo idea what they are like. I SHOULD just go on one of the aforementioned 2nd hand sites but TBH I am a bit hesitant as how do I know they aren't coming from a scrug home where everyone has hepatitis KWIM? I know, I have problems.

    Sas - thanks hon. Maybe you should join in the great nappy swap thread and ask for itti's in return?
