I mean, the Nicki's pockets run huge - but I always make sure there's no gaps. But it still wicks right through the lining along the leg elastics/crotch area. It's so bizarre. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diaper-inserts#post-1968124 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 17:06:35 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1968124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The leaks could also be due to the fit of the elastics around the legs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diaper-inserts#post-1968120 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 17:05:01 +0000 thismustbetheplace 1968120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe the legs of the Alvas don't fit quite right and that's allowing leakage before the MF/CBI can catch up? We have a tough time with leg leaks/wicking on our Alvas even with doubled inserts. I usually just keep them for around the house diapers- I don't trust them out and about or for night time.<br /> I've heard good things about Thirsties Hemp <a href="http://www.diapers.com/p/thirsties-hemp-inserts-2-pk-97848" rel="nofollow">http://www.diapers.com/p/thirsties-hemp-inserts-2-pk-97848</a> Maybe those would work?</p> <p>ETA- just saw that you already have Thirsties!! oops :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diaper-inserts#post-1967553 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 12:58:50 +0000 sorrycharlie 1967553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>okay. I cannot figure out what inserts I need..</p> <p>I have a ton of microfiber, bamboo/MF blend, and some charcoal/bamboo ones. as well as 2 thirsties hemp.</p> <p>my daughter is 2 and tends to "flood" the diaper - holds it and goes all at once. some of my diapers hold up better than others regardless of the insert.</p> <p>bum genius 4.0 with MF - no leaks.<br /> alva pocket with mf, OR a cbi, almost instant leaks.</p> <p>I thought CBI were supposed to be absorbent?</p> <p>I don't want to have to double up every single diaper - is there such a thing as a hemp doubler to put underneath a mf, cbi or bamboo blend? I LOVE my alva bamboo/mf blends - super trim, even when I have to use two. </p>
