I need to find it as I don't have it at the moment. I am finding sposies so much easier at the moment. Please help me find it again. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

I have a huge load of nappies out on the line at the moment, I am just really over the washing and folding, and have been buying way too many packs of sposies lately! Even though they are blimmen expensive and my bin stinks

Ive got my itti bittis on the line and i have just ordered some more, just looking at them brings on the love of cloth nappies for me!
each time you use a cloth one you are saving money on disposables not to mention the environment... And think how much more cosy on little bums the microfleece is compared to a papery disposable 
An extra load of washing every couple of days is worth it in the long run 
Maybe sell off some of your stash on trade me and replace it with some AIO ittis, then theres no folding or finding inserts, stuffing and sorting and they look and feel SOOOO yummy! I hope the love comes back to you, because the environment loves you for it  ------------- http://lilypie.com">  tickers" /></a>

Alianasmummy, I have only tried the snap in ittis, how do you find the drying time on the AIOs? Maybe a few new ones might help me find the love again lol!! ------------- Mum to Mr 10, Mr 6 and Mr 4

I have ittis and this week I get to buy a 12 pack.....woohoo. I'm going all AIO, I have one AIO and three snap ins and I find the AIO easier use wise and it doesn't take any longer to dry than the hempy part of the snap in.
I love my ittis, not so in love with the rest of my nappies though -------------

I have 7 snap ins and 1 AIO and my fav is by far the AIO (which i have now ordered more of ). Its so much softer and comfy for them because it doesnt have the tri folded bamboo but its still as absorbent. They dry in the same time that the inserts in the snap ins do. When we upsize i will definitely be getting all AIOs!
Im addicted to them... and they are getting new colours in October so we might "need" a few more ------------- http://lilypie.com"> tickers" /></a>

I am so put off sposies by the price!!!!!!!! I went to buy a pack of Huggies last week because Leo had bad nappy rash (too many tomatoes!) and often a sposie overnight really helps, but I was gobsmacked at the price - $15 something a pack!!  - luckily they were on coupon at New World but even still it was $10.99 and I really begrudged handing the money over at the till. Especially knowing it was only going to be thrown away. That was the third of a price of an Itti Bitti!!!  -------------

I find the best way to regain my love for cloth is to stop buying sposies!
If I don't have them I can't fall back on using them when I'm feeling lazy or whatever. All it takes is a couple of days back in fulltime cloth for me to realise how easy and cheap it really is. ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:

...and just think, spring has sprung, the lambs are bleating, ducklings and daffodils all around us and the sun is shining just that little bit more often. Summer is on it's way and that means our cloth nappies are going to be that much easier to get dry -------------

I hear you, we've been a bit slack lately especially with me being on extended leave and trying to get back on my feet. We're only using cloth part time really at the moment. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Oh thank you Gen, so glad it isn't me. I am trying to only use the sposies at night now - hopefully I can stick to that. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

I went through this too all winter because our clothes line doesn't get any sun in winter and so the cloth naps were starting to smell.
Now it's sunny I'm getting back into cloth and while my Bum Genius are super reliable it's my plush itti bitti that is making me happiest
Maybe we need a "spring is here - reclaim the cloth love" competition run by our many supplier members *hint hint*  -------------

Pick me too becks. I was using fulltime cloth at home nearly all winter till a few weeks ago. Grrr I need to get them all out of the draw and have them all sitting there, that usually gets me all cloth ready as they are just sooo cute on a little bum running around lol ------------- http://lilypie.com">

And with spring here, and summer just around the corner, think of all the cute cloth bots we can all show off (says the mum with bubs in cloth part-time cos I'm trying to make up my mind about which material to get next to make more....) -------------
