What is the fit like, is there any gaping around the legs?

ooooo, you have me so tempted. I love the d'lsih but Tom seems to leak through them fast....is there anything I could be doing wrong? |
Are the inserts sopping, or is it a fit issue? My only guess would be the fit, if the legs aren't done up snug enough, or he needs to upsize? They last as long as any pocket nappy with an insert & booster for us.

I think they are getting a bit on the small side but I can still do them up with snaps to spare. They are leaking right through....as in front is wet. I wonder if the rise is too low and it is seeping up and over. I'd love to crack it as I like these nappies. When we first got them he lasted 4 hours.
Today is nappy stripping day (what a mission) and I am doing every nappy.....once a year aint bad. Lets see if there is an improvement.
The other thing that is stopping me buying more itti bitti's is the pile of nappies I have cut out ready to sew. I got a bit carried away and cut more fabric than I had meant to. I have about 10 nappies to make.
Sorry for the thread jack Emma.

Ooo I love the sewn ins too def our faves and find they fit Jack a bit better than the snap ins.
I have been using the snap ins for a while and recenty got some new ones and did notice the old ones aren't as fluffy but if you don't have new ones to compare you cannot tell. They still look brand new.

I have one sewn in and 3 snap in and I find they take the same time to dry, the hempy bit of the snap in takes as long as the sewn in bit (hope that makes sense).
I want to get some more d'lish for new bubba but DH isn't convinced yet. I would love to entirely swap my stash for all d'lish they are awesome.

Hey Emma - did you get one of each colour in your 2 dozen, or did you pick individual colours?

How did you get on with the strip - is it performing any better for you? Are you using the medium size now ... I am just wondering if you are whether you need to go up to the next size for more rise?

Hot wash w/ 1/2 c white vinegar
cold rinse with 1/2 c baking soda
Another cold rinse after that
THat's just one way... plenty of variations on the same theme
