I havn't tried any Weenotions yet but if you get pockets you can boost them if necessary in the future and use other inserts, with the AI2 you are limited to only that insert. In general I prefer pockets so I'd get those.

BaronConker · 09/09/2009 17:20

Me too, I do love the AI2s that I have (ittis) but I find pockets much, much more versatile and tend to use them a lot more. You can stuff them with anything, when I've run out accidentally at my mum's I've used a teatowel, and once I used a t-shirt...

JennyPenny22 · 09/09/2009 17:29

I am not that keen on AI2s because I find when baby is wriggling - it doesn't always stay in the right place.

In fact - I find AI2s more like a glorified prefold with poppers or is that just me?

I love my itti's but I'm not fussed about any other Ai2's I much prefer pockets so I can add a booster if needed.

BaronConker · 09/09/2009 18:57

jenny I totally agree with your glorified prefold thing! The trifold bit of an itti is exactly like a prefold, and if it wasn't for the adorable outer of an itti I wouldn't really see the point at all!

i have spent the whole day going through all my nappies to try and find things that fit chunky ellen!
going to have to buy her some large pockets as the BTP ones are just not big enough.

so anyone got any going? dont mind the make or colour

mumface · 09/09/2009 18:59

I ordered a Wee notions yesterday(funky monkey on choc&butter in stock) and do not have a spare insert yet. I will try one of my blueberry inserts in it first.

TheNattyTheHippy · 09/09/2009 19:04

i agree with jen on the AI2, i had some on my order for next week but changed them to pockets after DH () cleverly pointed out that the inserts are expensive and the pockets we already have inserts that will fit.

i am finding microfibre is working really well in my heavy wetting children.. not having any luck with bamboo or hemp. im thinking maybe they are heavy in force rather then volume? that the bamboo and hemp its just running off?

Natty - I use large fuzzis all the time really and they are fab. Much slimmer than the fancy fleece ones!

Yeah well done Jenny! I am away this weekend but will have my mobile so will check in.

Baby Show is BUSY! A latte placed carefully behind the counter would be nice! We don't stop ever - not for lunch or wee stops - it is flat out! We have name badges on so you will know which is me. Just find a gap and say hello. We have time to chat about 4.45pm! Look forward to seeing you!

JennyPenny22 · 09/09/2009 23:03

Lol ok. I am hoping to be there most of the day so maybe you will get a free slot! lol. I want to have a good look at the lollipop stuff if possible as I can't decide what to order to stock. My Pop and grows worked much better today so hoping they will work well. I really wanted to stock them - but once we started having issues with leaks it put me off. Maybe they just take more prewashing than any other washing.

DH has just got home from work - been working since 7am! . He usually only does 12 hour shifts but they asked him to stay. He walked round with a huge hole in his trousers and was hours before anybody told him! HAHA! THEN he had to go and kick people out for having sex in a car . He is a security guard in a shopping center and apparently a shopping center carpark is a good place to have sex! I understand the car bit - but no going to a busy public car park where kids or anybody could see.

You guys talk so fast I can never keep up!!

I am having nappy knowledge envy, what are WNSS's - they sound pretty, and if anyone remembers my previous posts on here (ages ago!) that is my priority!

JennyPenny22 · 10/09/2009 00:26
