We are delighted to have the Itti Bitti D’lish here by popular demand! It is aptly named, being ultra-trim fitting, and truly delicious in looks and feel! The nappy is a new generation all in one, sometimes referred to as an all-in-two, because the absorbent parts are attached but are completely removable for more efficient washing and to speed up drying. Itti Bitti D’lish snap-in-ones are one piece to put on and are perfect for showing off that cloth bottom!

Itti Bitti D’lish have a soft, minkee fabric outer shell, which is silky and plush to the touch, and is laminated inside to make it waterproof. The nappy is lined with a layer of suedecloth. The absorbent layers, or soaker pads, popper into the nappy and come in two parts: a two-layer bamboo/organic cotton blend rectangle, which poppers into the front of the shell and folds into three to give size layers, and a further hour-glass-shaped two-layer soaker which poppers into the back of the nappy shell and has a suedecloth top layer to keep baby dry. This gives a total of eight layers of bamboo/organic cotton, which provides a good level of absorbency in the form of a very narrow pad between the legs. The two-layer soaker sits on top of the other insert, so that the stay-dry layer is next to baby.

The soaker pads can be completely removed from the nappy which makes this nappy dry relatively quickly for an all in one. As an all in two, the soaker pads are completely detachable, allowing you to re-use the outer ‘shell’ like a wrap if it is just wet. The wet soaker set is easily replaced with a dry one, and this makes this system more economicalm as you won’t need as many outer shells as soaker sets. Soaker sets are available to purchase separately.

There is also the option of adding an extra microfibre or bamboo mini booster to the underside of the hour-glass soaker to increase absorbency for extra heavy wetters, or for longer periods (see picture below). These snap-in boosters can be left attached through the wash. They can also be folded to the front for even more absorbency for boys and tummy sleepers.

The poppers on the soaker sets, mini-boosters and nappy shell are colour coded so it is easy to see which bits attach where and assemble the nappy!

Sizing
Itti Bitti nappies are very trim fitting, and look so small that you may even think you have been sent the wrong size! However, when you try the nappy on you will see that looks are deceiving and it should be a great fit. Itti Bitti nappies have a low rise to fit well under clothes made for disposables, a slim crotch for comfort and freedom of movement, and are high cut at the front to ensure a good fit forall leg shapes.

Small nappies will fit approx. 7.5 – 16.4lb (3.5 – 7.5Kg). Most newborns fit smalls within the first few weeks, if not from birth. Smalls should last for around 3-9 months depending on the build of your baby, and are designed with a slightly wider crotch than the other sizes to help with containment.

Medium Itti Bitti nappies will fit approx. 14 – 26lb (6.5 – 12Kg) depending on your baby’s build. Slim babies may fit for longer, depending whether you are happy with the rise. Bigger newborns may fit the mediums very early on – from as young as a few weeks – especially 9lb (4Kg) plus babies, so try your mediums on to see how they fit. Sometimes when using the medium nappies on babies below the recommended weight range, the nappy may fit around the waist, but you may get gaping around the legs. This can be an indication your baby is still a little small for the medium size. Itti Bitti are low rise nappies, so if your baby is above 20lb (9Kg), and you prefer a higher rise, you may find the large a better fit than medium.

Large nappies should fit from approx. 22 – 37lb (10 – 17Kg). Again depending on your baby’s build, they may fit for longer, and stockier babies are often able to fit from around 20lb (9Kgs). Sometimes when using the large Itti Bitti nappies on babies below the recommended weight range, the nappy may fit around the waist, but you may get gaping around the legs. This can be an indication your baby is still a little small for the large size.

If you are unsure whether the Itti Bitti nappy will fit and are considering returning it, please try it on with a full protective liner first. Unworn and unused nappies may be returned or exchanged. Please also remember that the first of any nappy type you try can be returned to us used and washed for a 70% refund. So you can safely try a nappy to see if you are happy with it without much financial outlay.
