Audux - yes the velcro is very strong.

BR - the only problem with itti's is that we prefer the velcro as it gives a better fit and is easy for DP and DS aunt to use. The itti's we got at the same time look new still so the quality is better.

There is a 12 month warranty on workmanship and materials. I"m wondering if I should contact DBs. I've never used fabric softener and only wash at 40C. Has anyone tried to claim against a warranty for nappies?
