fitted & wraps

[buttonnose82]

can anyone recommend me the best fitted nappies & wraps

I am struggling with little man as he is out peeing pretty much every AIO & pocket nappy so figure fitted nappies will be the best way too go!

Bitti Boos are good for us. They'll easily last 4 hours and could probably go 6 hours if needed. We use them with fleece longies or with Thirsties Duo wraps. Little Pea Pants seem really good too. They're bulkier than Boos but have more room for boosting if needed, although they're really absorbent without boosting.

thanks will look into the boo's, only thing is a hate the rise of itti bitti's, are they the same rise as the d'lish do you know as they are just too short on my long bodied boy!

he actually has one of my nappies on at the minute ..... well not MY nappy as I am pleased too announce i am fully potty trained!! but one of the nappies I made and it is actually holding up much better than our pockets we have been using! might just have too raid my stock pile and pull some out for the little man!

obviously we haven't tried them yet but what about tb stretchies hon? we have them to try with BB coveralls, as i like the extra piece in the legs, have read good reviews on them.

want to try the bitti's boo's too, nice to hear positives on them rachel

we have a tb stretchie in a size 2 somewhere will have too dig it out, i did like them when he was small (size 1's)

The Boos are fairly low rise, yes. Little Pea Pants seem a bit higher rise but I can't be sure cos I only have a small, but large Boos.

I do like Stretches but I'm not sure why there's all the hype about them, they're not actually that absorbent. They are easy to boost though, so maybe that's why people like them so much. I've use them with a Flip stay dry insert inside before and it worked well cos it's basically two not-hugely-absorbent nappies together, and the stay dry insert means you don't have to use a fleece liner.

Oh wrap-wise, I would be tempted to try Bummis Super Brites. Again I only have a small for sprog 2 but it's pretty amazing - nice gentle leg elastic but it has proper gussets. We haven't had a leak yet - LO is only 6 weeks old but that's been 6 weeks of trial end error! They feel pretty rigid when you get them but they soften nicely after a few washes. The PUL is nice and thick so I think they will hold up well over time.

I'll look at the bummis wraps as the thirsties don't have a huge range of nice boyish prints

I like a wrap with a proper gusset too otherwise he has tended too leak in the past as no gueest makes it hard too get a good fit with wraps i find

My favourites are itti bitti boos also. Wraps-wise I also like ones with gussets so Nature babies, Tots bots, kawaii and believe it or not Bambino mio. Econobums don't have gussets but are a different shape between the legs so good over a fitted too.

My son has recently increased his wee-ing so i'm also more limited as to nappies now but I find fuzzi bunz are still great (a nice high rise too.) Stuff with more absorbent fabrics (even small prefolds) than the normal microfibre.

Ooh yes, Nature Babies Essentials wraps are good with a great gusset.

I use bitti boos also and love them. I never got on with other itti nappies but these are great, trim but absorbent. I use blueberry coveralls with them preferably as the leg cuffs are lovely and soft. I also like bummis super Brite and thirsties Duos.
