It's not very puffy at all and I don't feel like it takes away from the capacity of the bag. But I have larger sized bags 32-40 cm, so in a very small bag maybe it makes more of a difference. Maybe someone with a smaller bag can help there? I'll tell you that the downside to Mai tai's soft inserts is that if you don't have stuff in the center it flops inward. Her inserts also keep their shape without flopping best when you use the correct size for your bag. That's part of why I decided to have different inserts for each bag. But as she explains that flopping when not full is the price you pay for having a soft insert that won't damage your bag. Once I put my wallet sunglasses and keys in it doesn't flop anymore. I hope that helps.

To add to what P said
I really do enjoy MT insert. I started with D&C but switched into MT entirely.
I have the smaller 28 Kelly for comparison it's very nice
Keeps my smaller Kelly very much organized

My final review of Design & Decor's K28 insert....I still think it's really pretty (I love raw silk) and well priced at under $60. However, I don't like the rigidity of the ends in a valuable bag as I think they will eventually leave press marks, and they make the insert difficult to put in and remove 
I will be doing some "surgery" on the insert to remove whatever makes it stiff. It won't be as pretty once I slice it up, but will work better - while I await an order from MaiTai to see how that works. Her Kelly inserts seem less puffy than the B insert I have (which I have had a long time, perhaps her product has changed).
I would suggest anyone ordering from Design & Decor to request a soft insert.

I agree with Quelle, my MaiTai B35 insert is quite puffy, I have had it around 18 months.
However, with a B35 I find that it nicely fills the void of the open-ness.
When I used it in my K35, I found that there was a lot of insert, and it was quite bunched up inside.
It definitely reduced the capacity of the bag.
I use the organiser as more of a protector of the interior rather than a shaper, or organiser, so the pockets and rigidity are less important to me.
I am now considering getting another for my K32/K35.
Not sure whether to go for a K32 or a B30 insert, but hope for it to do double duty with the K's.
I don't use the pockets of the bags so it wouldn't matter if the B insert was too tall inside to clear the pockets.
Any opinions on which would be better would be gratefully received.

Love the contrasting colors! What size D&C insert did u get for your evelyne PM? I checked the etsy page but I only see the Evelyne GM sizes available.
Dear TPFers,
Have you gals used MaiTai's Kelly 28 inserts for your B30s and Lindy30? Would that work?
I believe another reason for us to use the bag insert is the ease to move around between purses. So I want to get ONE insert and just move my stuff between bags.
Please let me know your inputs.
Thanks!

What do you think is the best insert to help maintain structure on a clemence B30? I was looking at a D&C, but some ladies had mentioned that it left marks on their bag. But I don't think any of the others have the stiff bottom and that bit of firmness that I was hoping for. Any ideas or recommendations would be appreciated.
The same mai tai inside my lindy
[emoji173]️[emoji173]️[emoji173]️what color is this pls?

I don't have B30 but you can try D&C with flexible ends
I have one for my Lindy and really like it
