Her inserts were soaked very quickly and we added a hemp liner underneath the BG microfiber to great results. We still use this method when we're going to be out and about for long periods with less options for changing her. The heavy wetting issue got a lot better once she balanced her solid/liquid intake a little better as she got older. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-much-pee-for-bg#post-2520757 Sun, 10 Apr 2016 12:47:23 +0000 DesertDreams88 2520757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@peaches1038: true, I've heard that as well.</p> <p>Copied from some other advice I saved.... someone should make a flow chart out of this!</p> <p>Are the leaks out the top or the legs?<br /> If top: Rise may need to be adjusted up if possible<br /> If legs: Are you changing frequently enough?<br /> If yes: Are the inserts saturated when changing?<br /> If yes: Then you need to up absorbency switch out the MF for bamboo or hemp<br /> If No it could be a compression leak or bulk leak. Check fit if fit is fine try switching out the MF for bamboo or hemp ( MF is prone to compression leaks)<br /> also check the PUL of the diaper </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-much-pee-for-bg#post-2520744 Sun, 10 Apr 2016 12:09:27 +0000 littlebear16 2520744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You might just need to stuff them with something other than microfiber. Mine occasionally don't hold up for 2 hours on my daughter. Could you stuff the prefold in the pocket or lay them on top of the 4.0? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-much-pee-for-bg#post-2520741 Sun, 10 Apr 2016 11:56:46 +0000 autumnlove 2520741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What kind of inserts do you use? We use both of the BG inserts (nb and regular) during the day and we add a hemp insert at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-much-pee-for-bg#post-2520732 Sun, 10 Apr 2016 11:31:22 +0000 peaches1038 2520732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe your microfiber is shot? I've heard it's lifespan is about a year. Try a different insert like hemp or bamboo and see if it's better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-much-pee-for-bg#post-2520731 Sun, 10 Apr 2016 11:29:32 +0000 DesertDreams88 2520731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Possible ideas:<br /> - Hard water build-up in the inserts, check out Fluff Love University for stripping &amp; bleaching instructions.<br /> - Wrap the MF insert in a flour sack towel (cheap &amp;available at Walmart, Target, etc)<br /> - Adjust your snap settings (could be too loose OR too tight causing compression leaks)<br /> - Use the newborn insert as a doubler (double stuffing, like in your original post)<br /> - Trying out some different inserts made of cotton, bamboo, or hemp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-much-pee-for-bg#post-2520726 Sun, 10 Apr 2016 11:10:27 +0000 Pollywog 2520726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you try stuffing with prefolds? We have much better luck with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-much-pee-for-bg#post-2520704 Sun, 10 Apr 2016 09:49:38 +0000 maddyz 2520704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ms maths: liner is wet, but only right where he peed. The cover is also wet, it's not leaking out the sides. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-much-pee-for-bg#post-2520703 Sun, 10 Apr 2016 09:46:25 +0000 Ms maths 2520703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you check if the liner is actually soaked? If it is, then double-stuffing seems like the best option. (If it isn't, then there is some other issue with fit or absorption speed.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-much-pee-for-bg#post-2520698 Sun, 10 Apr 2016 09:27:55 +0000 maddyz 2520698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 13 month old is now regularly soaking through his bum genius 4.0s during the day. One pee will soak his pants. They are in good shape, not covered in cream, I line dry the covers. Do I need to double stuff? Go back to pre folds (so much harder to put on a moving guy)? Anyone else had this problem? </p>
