I also changed the snaps, unsnapping the front snaps (on 4.0's) actually helped my leak issues because they were getting too bunched up when he walked around and would leak out of the top. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/about-to-throw-my-cloth-diapers-out-a-window-help#post-1578096 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 19:27:46 +0000 Beebug 1578096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: I'm not sure. I got them from a friend, never used them as prefolds, actually used them as burp cloths when LO was wee. And saw it suggested somewhere online to try prefolds, so I did with the smaller/thin BG insert and no more leaking! They don't seem to be anything fancy though, and I just fold the outside 1/3s onto the middle third. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/about-to-throw-my-cloth-diapers-out-a-window-help#post-1578075 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 19:13:50 +0000 bushelandapeck 1578075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: yep I use both. I also have some thinner bamboo inserts I sometimes use and they work great too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/about-to-throw-my-cloth-diapers-out-a-window-help#post-1578073 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 19:10:25 +0000 autumnlove 1578073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: oh, for day we use the two BG inserts (OS+newborn) and add a Hemp Babies insert at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/about-to-throw-my-cloth-diapers-out-a-window-help#post-1578071 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 19:07:11 +0000 birdofafeather 1578071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: which hemp inserts? So 3 inserts for daytime?<br /> @Beebug: which prefolds? We have combos of flips and 4.0s so I can play around.<br /> @bushelandapeck: you used both the OS and the newborn insert? I might try that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/about-to-throw-my-cloth-diapers-out-a-window-help#post-1578010 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 17:54:10 +0000 Beebug 1578010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>New inserts solve this for us! About the same timing too! I think the regular inserts just weren't enough! We use prefolds folded with the smaller insert and our problems vanished!</p> <p>We use 4.0s only! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/about-to-throw-my-cloth-diapers-out-a-window-help#post-1577998 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 17:36:11 +0000 autumnlove 1577998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe new elastics? My 4.0s are semi retired until I replace the leg elastics. We don't have leaks when the elastics are stretchy...we use both BG inserts on top of a thin hemp insert. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/about-to-throw-my-cloth-diapers-out-a-window-help#post-1577853 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 15:47:45 +0000 bushelandapeck 1577853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a lot of leaks so I ended up using an additional infant insert in addition to te regular insert. DS is a super heavy wetter and one insert just wasn't cutting it. It makes for a bulky bum but I rarely have leaks so I'm fine with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/about-to-throw-my-cloth-diapers-out-a-window-help#post-1577782 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 15:07:30 +0000 swurlygurl 1577782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agh, #$%^%&amp;#@, us too - exact same problems! L usually goes through 3 pair of pants at daycare everyday.</p> <p>I think what I need is new inserts... (we use pockets). Really annoyed though, because those aren't necessarily cheap, when I need to stuff 30+ diapers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/about-to-throw-my-cloth-diapers-out-a-window-help#post-1577780 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 15:05:51 +0000 blackbird 1577780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you have BG diapers, you can call the Cotton Babies number and talk to one of their customer service specialists. They are wonderfully helpful </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/about-to-throw-my-cloth-diapers-out-a-window-help#post-1577766 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 15:02:29 +0000 birdofafeather 1577766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: i can try that, although we stripped them right before this whole debacle started. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/about-to-throw-my-cloth-diapers-out-a-window-help#post-1577708 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 14:33:36 +0000 blackbird 1577708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it possible they need to be stripped because they simply aren't absorbent anymore? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/about-to-throw-my-cloth-diapers-out-a-window-help#post-1577692 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 14:28:04 +0000 birdofafeather 1577692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've been CDing since the beginning with little to no issues. Now, at 15 months, we're having leak issues all over the place! I need help troubleshooting!</p> <p>First, we had leaks out the seat, which I think are due to bad PUL in my BG 4.0s. I pulled those out of the rotation. Then we started getting leaks around the legs. I thought it was just because she pooped and then we didn't change her fast enough. Now, I had an issue where it's leaking near the leg holes, but in actuality, the inserts (Flips and 4.0s) are bunching up near her crotch, so they're not even absorbing pee on the sides, so any extra pee is leaking right through the cover!</p> <p>How do I get the inserts to cover her whole crotch from leg to leg? Could my elastic be too relaxed? Do I need to get new inserts? HELP! </p>
