Just looking for peoples opinions  I am ordering some more itti bittis today and cant decide whether to get the SIOs or AIOs. I have been using the SIOs and love them but just wondered how people have found the AIOs.
My only concern is the amount of time that they will take to dry. Do the AIOs take heaps longer to dry?? or are they much the same as the SIOs?? Any other comments would be much appreciated. TIA ------------- Proud mummy to two beautiful little girls and a precious little boy <3 |

| I have only used the AIO itti's and LOVE them. I don't have a problem with them taking long to dry at all, but mind you it is summer... |

I bought some of each. I love the simplicity of the AIO, but with the SIO you can buy more inner bits for quick washing turnaround. That was important cos it's heading into winter here -------------

I just bought a bakers dozen for the new baby & got half AIO, half SIO & the bonus one I got a SIO.
I like the SIO because they last longer & are more absorbant, but I like the AIO for ease of use (much easier for daddy to use LOL). That's why we have half half. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

| My vote is SIO's, I sold all of our AIOs so we could get more SIOs! We use the covers again and have heaps of extra inserts so they actually work out cheaper. We only have nine covers and hardly ever run out of naps! |

Thanks for your input ladies. I have ordered a 6 pack of SIOs. Thought it was probably best to keep using them since they are working so well so far.
I am in love with them LOL......much to the disgust of DP's wallet hehehe ------------- Proud mummy to two beautiful little girls and a precious little boy <3 |

well the wallet will be fatter in the long run Imogen- just remind him of that!! lol
The aios i find dry slightly quicker than the square bamboo insert but then the turn around is way quicker with a sio if u have a spare booster set. -------------

hi Imogen,
just a note, about ittis . I m for "AIO" personally but it s the matter of oppinion and how they fit your baby... Also , look up some of the older forum posts, there s one on the page 2 here... from 'tweedle"... with the same topic...and has loooots of replies and oppinions...so another "food for thought"...if you are interested. Eihterway, SIO or AIO whichever you prefer, i think ittis are great!! and looks cool:-) Iceland |
