I have heard good things about the bamboo RAR soakers, but I don't know if I would invest the money that close to potty training unless you will use them again with another kiddo. Such a tough situation. </p> <p>Could it be an elastic problem? Or maybe change more often? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-peeing-through-cloth-is-it-time-to-give-up#post-2233970 Sun, 12 Jul 2015 07:23:36 +0000 avivoca 2233970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lion: They leak at the legs unless she's asleep, then they leak at the waist. We bought a potty seat and she likes to sit on it, but no dice right now on peeing/pooping in the potty. I'm trying to wait to potty train until she moves up at daycare because there isn't a bathroom in her current room and she's still too young for the twos room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-peeing-through-cloth-is-it-time-to-give-up#post-2233967 Sun, 12 Jul 2015 07:14:06 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2233967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: Where are they leaking from? The belly? Legs? Through the diaper? </p> <p>If the problem is that she is holding her pee and peeing all at once, then a cloth diaper may not hold it all...she may be ready to potty train! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-peeing-through-cloth-is-it-time-to-give-up#post-2233962 Sun, 12 Jul 2015 06:52:26 +0000 Ash 2233962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: well poo! I gave up on cloth because of the leaks even after stripping so I'm no help. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-peeing-through-cloth-is-it-time-to-give-up#post-2233958 Sun, 12 Jul 2015 06:40:20 +0000 avivoca 2233958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: I just stripped them. Literally. I stripped them on Monday. She wet through once at daycare (the day I sent cloth) and once yesterday an hour after I had changed her. I've been playing around with the rise and the waist, but I'm at a loss. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-peeing-through-cloth-is-it-time-to-give-up#post-2233940 Sun, 12 Jul 2015 05:16:16 +0000 Ash 2233940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you think they might need to be stripped? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-peeing-through-cloth-is-it-time-to-give-up#post-2233893 Sat, 11 Jul 2015 23:01:06 +0000 birdofafeather 2233893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We sailed through with cloth until about 16 months and then all of a sudden I was having leaks, fit issues, PUL breaking down, the works and I had to give it a rest because I was freaking out and super frustrated with it all. I had already broke even by 7 months with cloth so I felt fine just going to disposables since she was using so few at that point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-peeing-through-cloth-is-it-time-to-give-up#post-2233764 Sat, 11 Jul 2015 16:56:44 +0000 JCCovi 2233764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have this problem at night and we add another insert to our bum genius diapers. It solved it for us and the bulk doesn't see to bother her. (22 months) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-peeing-through-cloth-is-it-time-to-give-up#post-2233740 Sat, 11 Jul 2015 15:28:08 +0000 Mrswonderwoman 2233740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is 2 1/2 and we still are in cloth since potty training has been REALLY slow. For me, I use thirsties hemp large prefolds (just fold into a trifold) with a hemp doubler for naps all folded up and stuffed into a BG 4.0 pocket diaper. For non naps, I just change a bit more frequently or use hemp doublers. My favorite diapers have actually been simplex diapers for the fit, but I do need to add an extra insert of some kind for absorbency.</p> <p>I'd say if you're thinking potty training is coming soon, maybe try a bit more absorbency, or maybe start to encourage peeing at various times on a potty? Also, are you sure you have them sized accurately for snaps and such? I realized that I needed to loosen the waist at about 2 because DS was just getting bigger and leaking.</p> <p>If all else fails and you want to stay committed to cloth, you can also try wool or fleece covers. We use those at night over cloth. Bullet proof! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-peeing-through-cloth-is-it-time-to-give-up#post-2233726 Sat, 11 Jul 2015 14:24:39 +0000 avivoca 2233726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just like the title says... </p> <p>H is constantly peeing through her cloth diapers. We've already switched to disposables for nighttime and naps, but even being awake, she pees through them. I have a variety of brands (Rumparooz, AppleCheeks, BG, Smart Bottoms, and Thirsties), and we use BG, RAR, and Flip inserts. I also have hemp doublets, but they don't really help the situation much. The PUL is still good. I've stripped my diapers and we never use diaper cream with them. </p> <p>Is it time to give them up? I hate to do it, but if it saves me time doing laundry... H is 21 months old and we are approaching potty training. </p>
