I now have a small stash of cloth nappies, some ittis, 1 totsbots 5 pocket type cheapos from trademe and more covers and bamboo liners for them.
Any tricks on getting the ittis and totsbots to dry faster? I tend to hang them all in our conservatory (sun all day) and they still often take a second day to dry. All the others are easily dry by afternoon. Its a right pain as theyre my favourites and i cant use them as much as id like! ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

| Do you have a heatpump or a fire? I put my Ittis in front of one of them, and generally they are dry within a few hours, but usually overnight (i try and hang them up last thing before I go to bed). |

Nope, I haven't found any tricks. My Itti D'Lish AIO's and TotsBots fitted are always the last to get dry, it's definitely annoying when I want to use an Itti for putting on under good clothes for going out!

We've got the fire, but hasnt been cold enough in a few weeks to put it on. Ah well will just do then. I think i got spoilt by the cheaper ones which dried so quickly that it is what i expected off other nappies lol. ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com">

| if you have a hot water cupboard, stick them in there overnight and they should be dry by morning :) |

| They take long to dry because they have layers hidden inside just like if you folded a pair of jeans it would take a lot longer to dry than having them laid out. All the AIO's I tried took forever to dry so I just expected them to take 2 days, even in summer or the hot water cupboard. |

Yeah same, I got 1 AIO Itti, and it takes so long to dry (and doesn't hold enough wee to stay on her long) that I decided to get the snap in ones and Tuttos from now on. I do LOVE the fit. She can move round so much easier than in the ones off of trademe. ------------- Kiara is 3 and Teagan is 2, now we're expecting our long awaited 3rd! http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

No trick to drying I think, hence why I have mainly pockets. The AIO's I do have, I did manage to get dry on the line today though so hopefully you will have more luck as summer gets going! ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/2920e5" rel="nofollow - My Ovulation Chart |

I also have 99% pockets and they're always dry the same or next day. Hopefully the other girls tips will help you.

If I dont'get my AIO's out early enough I hang them up from the ceiling inside at night & they are dry by the morning regardless of if the fire is on or not. We do have a warm house though. ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">
