I'm so excited, I've just ordered a Designer Bums hemp fitted nappy, bamboo booster, and merino wool cover for Leo!! I've only been wanting one for months and this morning (after a leaky sposie caused me to have to change his whole bed) I finally decided to order. Angie is so nice to deal with and is going to put an extra set of smaller snaps on for me so we can get more wear out of the large 
Anyone else waiting on anything this week? Vic xx |

I got Paua in both the fitted & the cover. I'm much more of a blues girl than a reds girl, and the pinks were obviously out 
I'm very jealous of your Itti Bittis! I absolutely love the 2 d'lish I have and would love to try a bitti boo fitted. If only I had a money tree . . . Vic xx |

Ooo I did like the paua.
We got ours today, I'm very impressed they are all so cute. I am now banning myself from buying anymore nappies for a while. |

| Can't wait to hear what you think of the Bitti Boo. Are they for Jack, or Caprece, or both? |

They both fit the same size nappy so they are for both. I'm very impressed so far, I sent Caprece to bed with one on with an extra hemp trifold. The boo wasn't prewashed or anything and it worked great, no leaks or anything.
I might try one on Jack tonight because hes been wetting through the pockets we have been using. |

How fantastic that they both fit. What did you put over Caprece's Bitti Boo? I'd love to hear how Jack gets on un one if you try!! |

Good thinking!!! I tried a Motherease Air flow PUL wrap on Leo but the binding left terrible red marks on the inside of his thighs. That was one of the reasons I decided to go with DBs because the wrap was merino. Maybe I could get a Bitti Boo and just put an unstuffed Foxy over top? Hmmmm . . . . will wait to hear how Jack gets on with the Bitti Boo first!

Does anyone know how long a DB order takes? I know it'll be a couple of extra days for my extra snaps - but anyone have any idea? I'm dying to try out my new things!!

most businesses will post a couple of days a week, and I'd allow another couple of days for the snaps to be added. So maybe a week? -------------

Hey Rachel, just wondering if ended up testing the Bitti Boo's on Jack overnight? Vic xx |

Yip I did sorry I was going to come on here and update you but completely forgot. I used an brand new unwashed boo with a peapod hemp trifold under a berry plush cover and he woke up dry as a bone. I actually couldn't believe it as hes been wetting through our swaddlebees fitteds and the boos seem to small to be as absorbant as they are. Also the colours are just gorgeous, because of the velour they look all shimmery. My new favourite nappy (tied with the d'lish).
Also you can use the inserty things for the d'lish in the boo and vice versa. |

WOW thats very impressive! Especially if it wasn't even washed first! I need to sort out Sophie overnight napie. I have been putting off because I'm a bit unsure what to get. Maybe a Bitti Boo!! I do LOVE the look of them Otherwise I was thinking of getting the DB's fitted. (Maybe I could get both and hide one from DH ) ------------- Nicky, Mum to Alex (5) & Sophie (3) http://lilypie.com">

That's exactly what I've ended up doing! I've ordered a DB fitted with merino cover, and a Bitti Boo as well. I'll either cover the Bitti Boo with the merino cover or just use and unstuffed pocket. I'm so excited and hope that they arrive before my pack of sposies runs out as I don't want to have to buy another! Vic xx |

Am really going to have to get it sorted, she was wet through again this morning, she was yesterday aswell.
I only have pockets, so never tried fitteds at all. Are unstuffed pockets ok as covers? I have a few foxys which might work?? Think I may try a bitti boo, and then the DB's with the merino cover too. All sound really good!! Does the bitti boo come with the big ($15) booster, or just the smaller ($4) one?? ------------- Nicky, Mum to Alex (5) & Sophie (3) http://lilypie.com">

The bitti boo comes with the bigger booster, but I think it might be made of hemp??! I don't see why an unstuffed pocket can't be used, as long as it fis over well. I just an email from Angie at DB to say my order was posted today! She warned me that the large cover looks quite big, now I'm a bit worried I should have gone for medium

I was going to get a medium for Sophie, but she is under 7kgs still, so it might be too big. I saw on DB's website that she is going to be closed for about 8 weeks from this Friday, so I need to order now!
I wonder when MI is going to get more bitti boo's in? ------------- Nicky, Mum to Alex (5) & Sophie (3) http://lilypie.com">

I'm expecting the DB fitted to be quite bulky so I think it would be ok with a merino cover. But I think if you're going to put a bitti boo under a cover you might want to go for something that fits well? You could always get a medium with extra snaps if you want to get the most out of it? Hopefully I'll get mine by Wed so I can give you a better idea of size! Vic xx p.s. as for her going away, I'm really glad I got my order in already now! |

Ok, so I did it! I just ordered Sophie a DB fitted, and Merino cover in candyfloss... oh plus the extra booster. I got a medium, and she is going to put extra snaps on it for her.
PLUS................ I ordered Alex a fitted and cover (in fire), with the extra booster, in a large. So a bit naughty, as it was $141!! But will be well worth it in the long run. Can't wait to get them now!! ------------- Nicky, Mum to Alex (5) & Sophie (3) http://lilypie.com">
