Becca, was it you? I got the Lab dipe and a plane dipe a few weeks ago and have since bought two more - including an organic cotton velour today, yummmmm.
I like them because they are like bikini cut Cuddlebuns but the snaps are covered when you use the fold-down option - so I can see myself using these on a tiny babe, too. They take a little longer to dry because of the internal soaker but not bad.
Good thing that these aren't as hard to get as they used to be!! But I think that I had better clean out some of our stash as we REALLY don't need more dipes right now!!

Guilty as charged. The funniest part is that I have not tried them myself. I just thought that print was the best. Now I will need to get my hands on one. I just love velour!
I am glad you found some new fluff to love. Does Colin like the prints?

Colin is okay with the prints - it is hard to compete with our Babyblankets embroidered with the Thomas trains, lol!!

Can I ask where I can get more info on these? Any dipes that you get to have dogs on are WAY COOL to me!

Guess I should post mine to sell on BBB-swap then! ;)
I haven't even tried them on a babe yet, but I cannot deal with non-QD diapers. So, I'm selling them all I think.

Oh, I am right there with you Holli....SOS are the polar opposite of quick dry! In my dryer, they take 2.5 dryer cycles until they are about 4 months old, and then it's 2 dryer cycles. What a pain! But I still love them. :) The only thing worse are a couple of HoneyBoys that I own - I still have to hang those to dry once the SOS are done. Strange.
And yes, post those SOS on Swap LOL!

Mine are only slightly damp after one dryer cycle, so I guess that I'm lucky! I like that they lay flat against Colin's skin - I'm so tired of the quick-dry inserts bunching up and getting lumpy against his skin!!

Lori,
So sorry to hear of your addiction!!! }(
SOS dipes are the best fitting for my kiddos and fortunately my dryer cooks them in one cycle.

I love the look of these, but haven't had luck with front snaps. How's the wing droop situation?
Holli- I might look for yours if you decide to sell.
Is it bad to try one of everything?

Wing droop has never really been a problem for us (I don't know why!) so I'm not the right person to answer this, lol!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE our SOS dipes. They are my favorites, and I don't care how long they take to dry! I have tried way too many dipes to count, but always come back to my faithful SOS dipes.
I have quite a few that I bought over a year ago, they are still going strong, and look almost new. And I know when Jonah has one on, he is good for a long nap or car ride, they are super absorbant.
I haven't had a problem with wing droop on these, there are quite a few snaps to get a good fit. Suzie is an amazing seamstress, they sewing is perfect and they have held up so well, I am impressed.
I have been collecting a rainbow of the hand dyed ones...they are so purty!!

A rainbow....this is my new goal. I've decided to take the pressure of having a uniform stash off by simply collecting a rainbow of different dipes. I wonder if these would fit Brig, too.

Jen,
I need your help this Friday. I need to get my mitts on her new SOS Amy Butler prints!! and I'll be at work- WAAAHHHH!!
holliam

I have one local gal who wants some of them. Then I'll let you know what is left!
But, if you want a rainbow, you won't like the ones I have! I was not interested in the hand dyed ones so I don't have any of them. I just have a bunch of the printed ones. I may keep 1 just to see the fit...still thinking about it.
But, the drying time is a huge issue for me so I really do need to sell them. For many reasons, it's just a huge huge inconvenient ordeal for me to own anything with an inner soaker.
I know I'm in the minority, but there are just too many other QD dipes available out there for weirdos like me!

Maybe, but not sure. Colin is kind of at the limit rise-wise, though he has plenty of snaps to go. That's typical for us, though! Have you recently tried a bikini cut Cuddlebuns on Brig? Maybe we can find something comparable to give you an idea...

Trish,
I bet SOS would fit Brig!! Shea was often spotted wearing pink and purple ones :) They're a nice trim fit on those fast moving toddler boys!

I have a hand-dyed raspberry if you want to try one. Gracie's probably worn it 4 or 5 times. It takes forever and a day to dry down here in humidity land too.

Thanks for the link! I'm trying to branch out from just FBs and KLs...
I'll see what she has this Friday.
Thanks again,
