Design and Features
The bitti d'lish, by the itti bitti nappy co is a modern fitted cloth nappy and is shaped like a regular disposable nappy, but rather than tabs on the side, they have snap lock fasteners at the front. They come in two styles; an All In One (AIO) and a Snap In One (SIO).
bitti d'lish nappies are a low rise hipster style so they look similar to a disposable nappy when they are on and comfortably fit under regular baby/toddler clothing. They are adjustable as your baby grows and have an outer of laminated miniki fabric. They come in a great range of colours and prints.
The AIO features two soaker pads; one sewn into the nappy, and the other sewn onto the nappy which allows it to fold out to speed up drying.
The SIO features two soaker pads, both of which detach from the outer for even quicker drying.
You can also get a mini booster which you can attach to either nappy for extra absorbency for heavy wetters or longer use.
They come in S, M & L and will fit newborns to 17kg toddlers.
Performance and Drawbacks
bitti d'lish nappies are a nice snug fit for your baby. They are a bit bulkier than your average disposable but are a slim fit in comparison to other cloth nappy options. They are well designed for their function and consideration has been given to solving some of the problems associated with using cloth nappies, particularly with the option of two different styles.
The laminated minki outer in combination with the fitted leg holes, ensures that everything that needs to stay in, does. You can expect a bitti d’lish to last your baby approximately 3 hours before it needs a change, longer if you use a mini booster.
So which one is the right choice for your baby? The AIO is easier to use because it has less parts but takes longer to dry. The SIO is quicker to dry and you can buy additional inserts so you can change the soaker pads without changing the whole nappy. Also, each style has a slightly different fit on your baby so this may impact your choice.
The good news is that the itti bitti nappy co offers a budget conscious trial pack of one of each style in any size so that you can try for yourself.
I love the bright colours and prints of the bitti d'lish nappies; they are nice enough for every day and special occasion outer wear. It's easy just to add a singlet for comfy summer day wear.
The most important question is, 'how effective are they'? We've sent some samples off to a brand new mum so watch this space for an update. We'll let you know how they road test as soon as possible.
Conclusion
bitti d'lish are well designed, nicely made and offer options to suit your baby and your lifestyle. Even though the initial outlay is greater, cloth is cheaper in the long term.
You can purchase them from your local cloth nappy purveyor or from the itti bitti nappy co online.
