AIOs - worth it or a pain?

[MrsBadger]

Now I've always been a two-part kind of gal but am about to go shopping for size 2s and have seen a secondhand bundle for sale locally including Kushie and Bumkins AIOs.

Will they be handy for the fumblefisted girls when dd starts nursery? or will they be heavy and leaky and take forever to dry and I should stick to Bumbles as per original plan?

pockets yes- aoi's no!!

they take ages to dry and they seem bulky to me the kushie ones and also if they are classic kushies u will probably still need a wrap

I have a couple of AIOs, and tbh, there isn't much to make me choose them over a pocket.

I am intrigued by the new bambinex ones though because they look like they should be good and dry fast.

The magic alls used to be good and quick drying, Baby BeeHinds have now "taken over" them but not tried out a new one yet

Ooh have they?

I found magicalls wicked after about a month using them

Stick with bumbles - far more reliable IMO.

I used kushies AIOs (size 1) for DD2 when she was a wriggly monster and I found them to be quite good considering the bad press they get sometimes. They do take a while to dry but I didn't get many leaks (got more leaks with pockets until I started using GADs and pocket bots). Combining a bumble and a motherease wrap should be 100% reliable though IME.

DO NOT BUY THE KUSHIES! They crack, leak and take yonks to dry.
