Itti Bitti D'lish SIO Review

So I got a few of these in the closing down sale of the UK Itti Website and I wish I'd bought more! I really like them!

Fit - 5/5
Now when I first started our cloth journey I had an Itti Tutto, and I sold it on after a few wears because I didn't like the fit. Turns out I just didn't get it. Itti's are meant to be trim fitting. They're really narrow between the legs, slim fitting so they fit nicely under trousers. The Medium on Squishy Bear fits a dream. He's a 16lb 9oz chunk with a little waist and thunder thighs so he can be quite awkward to fit, but the D'lish fits him really nicely without giving him an enormous bottom. I have also borrowed a large D'lish out of curiousity from the Nappy Library, so see how the fit was on Baby Bear. I was pleasantly surprised that he also fits well in them, despite his big bum and skinny waist.


Absorbancy 4/5
Even without the mini boosters, the D'lish last about 3 hours on SB, and bout 2.5 on BB. Impressive! I think I'm going to buy some mini boosters when they come back into stock everywhere.

Containment 4/5
Few nappies without a double gusset contain breastfed baby pooplosions. And given SB saves up a good 5 days worth before he explodes so I can only pray its in a decent nappy. And the itti isn't bad! There's no poo fence, so although nothing escapes out of the sides a small amount did a Houdini and escaped up the back and onto his vest, but it was only a tiny bit and nothing compared to some others! We've had a few pooplosions since which have been completely contained so I'm pretty impressed.

Ease of use 3/5
So stuffing isn't hard. Unless you find yellow poppers to yellow poppers and purple poppers to purple poppers hard... There's two inserts, a bamboo trifold and an hourglass one with a staydry top that lays on top. Simple. It's the putting on that gets DB. He can do poppers. Ish. But where the D'lish is so trim, you need to run your finger around the leg elastic to tuck it right into the knicker line to get a nice fit, and that's to complex for him.

Drying Time 3/5
I tumble the inserts for half an hour on high, pop them over the radiator and they're dry in a day. Lovely stuff. They will dry in about a day and a half without a drier, which is still fine!


Overall 4/5

Love them. Want more! Might not be fantastic for childcare/daddies but I love them and the prints are amazing! We have red, orange, zebra, stripes and giraffe print, and I have plans to collect many more, mwahahaha!
