So excited! I've been waiting until the tax is back so i can switch over to cloth for DD (we are TT DS, so will just keep up with disposables for night for the time being)
Ok, so i think i'll buy some itti's and BG v3 to try... where are the cheapest places online to buy these? Can somebody PM me some links.
Thanks.
woohoo! Welcome to land of cloth :D
Definitely check out the itti bitti website and grab yourself some seconds. Heaps cheaper than normal price, and you can't really tell the difference.
Can't help you with bum g's though.
Alright Yael!! How fun!
What Jodi said, you can get trial or bulk packs of ittis as well as any seconds that might be about. :)
Ok, just checked out the itti site, and they have some sewn in delish seconds.
But then it asked me if i wanted to add in an extra booster. But i thought that if it was sewn in then it's an AIO and where would you attach the snaps to? And what is the difference between microfibre and bamboo boosters>
I dunno about that but I go to buyforbaby and get secondhand nappies to try on DS before I use a new brand to make sure they work for him
HTH
Yael
the extra boosters clip under the hourglass shaped typed booster that is sewn in. I use both of them (i got them as freebies) so I use them if I want extra boosting - like he's going for a nap - or a long car ride or something.
Bamboo is more absorbent - so I use that if I think he is going to need the added protection!!! ;)
Hope that helps.
yael-
the Snap in boosters snap under the sewn in
There is a actaul snaps for them
and i always get the snap in booster, i find it helps alot for those times you forget/get distracted about napy changes
ETA And it seem Arimenh bet me to it...
PMSL.. sorry Ness
Will forgive you this time...... :lol:
Yael, Itti Bitti D'Lishes come in two types, snap in, and sewn in. Snap in have all the absorbency able to snap out for quicker drying. Sewn in, have some of the absorbency sewn in (closer to a 'true' AIO), and it's microfibre instead of bamboo that's sewn in, because bamboo takes longer to dry.
I thought the snap ins would poop all over the sewn ins, but I really like them both. I don't know which I like better. That's why the trial pack is also good, cos you get one of each. And any bulk pack, you can go half half.
I think you need to be quick if you want BG as i read somewhere that they are going up in price to around 38 each!
I am not impressed with Itti's personally - try and buy second hand until you know that the nappies work for you and your bub.
I looked on BFB, but there are no BGs, and no itti's in the size i need. I figured i'll by them new, and sell which one i don't like on BFB.
Are the itti's sewn in sewn on both ends? I think i want snaps, but now i'm not sure.
If bamboo absorbs more, why bother with microfibre?
Yael- i find the snap in more bulky.. tbh and the sewn in are fabbo..
umm bumg, try darlings downunder
Yael - I've just pm'd you in regards to a special on IB's.
In regards to snap ins vs sew ins, with the snap ins you can buy extra booster sets and just replace the boosters if the nappy is only wet, meaning you can reuse the shells, thats why I went for the snap ins.
I got one of the trial packs at the baby expo, which has both types, and both seem great to me!
You may even find that you DS and DD will fit in to the same size if your DS does need to wear one as my DD is wearing large in the IB, and she is only a few days older than your DD. I was told at the baby expo that the large should last me through to toilet training
Because bamboo absorbs marginally more, it's not a huuge difference.
It's hard to explain why I love them both equally...hehe, a bit like children really.
Bamboo absorbs more, but microfibre dries faster.
OMG, I cant believe BumG has risen by $10!!
I just checked ebay for you and someone has listed some bum geniuses up there, starting price is $28 bucks though, postage $5.
