Sorry Stacey - here were are talking about you as if you're not even here! I'm just so surprised & confused by how this thread has evolved. I thought we were all friends with a mutual interest in cloth (and supporting WAHMs) but it doesn't seem that way. Maybe I've missed something

JM2CW, but I don't see it as being 'not supportive'. Part of the point of the cloth board is to talk about different nappies and what's worked for who and troubleshooting etc. and I think this still comes under that.
To be honest I'd find it hard to believe that anyone could look at the Foxybots AIO and NOT see the similarities with the Bitti D'lish. And that's not a personal attack on Stacey, I'm not accusing her of copying the Bitti D'lish, merely stating that they DO look like very similar nappies.
As for supporting WAHM's, you don't end up with a nappy stash as big as mine without supporting a fair few WAHM's, and I think it's important to remember that yes, Stacey is a WAHM, but so is Karyn (Mothers Instinct) and whilst she might not make her own nappies, she goes out of her way to source quality products and make them available to us at reasonable cost. I've had plenty of dealings with her in the past and have always found her to be honest and upfront which is important to me when deciding who to buy from. So IMO, whilst pointing out the similarities between the two nappies might appear to be bagging one WAHM, in fact it's also trying to protect the interests of another.

I'm certainly wouldn't boycott Foxybots over it like some of the TNNers have said, I like Stacey's breastpads and mama pads, but I wouldn't buy an AIO in it's current incarnation from her coz I think it is just to similar to the Bitti and I have to give loyalty to Karyn there. But if the design changes and I can see an original nappy with design merits then I might consider buying one...

Agree with Emma here. I think sometimes the problem with reading threads like this is that they do occur where people make friendships/relationships with others and it can sometimes come across as bagging on the individual rather than the idea.
I certainly wasn't trying to bag on you Stacey, was simply pointing out the similarities I had noticed and giving my opinion. As I said in my previous post I look forward to seeing the nappy you come up with.
