Not in love with cloth nappies anymore :(

CountingDown · Oct 14th, 2010, 09:24 AM

I am not enjoying using cloth nappies at the moment

Every nappy I am using on Olivia is leaking, some don't even last an hour!

I have tried ittis, issys, Mini lala, wn, hl, bg (microfibre and organics), ellas house, ll, dnf, blueberrys and mutts and she just out pees them all!

I only use soap nuts when wash my nappies, I have lost count of how many times I have strip washed them and I have boosted them so much sometimes she can hardly move in them!

I am not sure what else to try and I cant keeps trying different nappies because we saving for Christmas.

Feel alittle better now I have had a vent

So sorry you're going through a tough time with cloth! I had a similar thing at first- it took 6 weeks and about 15 different brands before I found what worked for us and our heavy wetter.

In my case, it was goodbye to all of my pretty WNs, BBs, Lalas, Issys etc and helloooo BGs! They are the only thing that works and now we use medium BGs and BG organics pretty much exclusively. I'm sure we'd all lend you ones if there was something you wanted to tryxxx

oh, and i'd maybe just stock up on boosters if shes a mega heavy wetter- weehuggers are good cos they are soooo thin but thirsty so don't add bulk, also ebay cheapie bamboo boosters work well, sometimes i add a itti booster to my organics x

awwww all my pretty nappies had to go aswell

my supply is mainly BG Flips and BG Organic inserts in Weehuggers!

Have you tried those? I very very very rarely get a leak in either of those

Rachel_C · Oct 14th, 2010, 14:15 PM

Yep if you haven't tried Flips I'd recommend them, mostly because the outers are pretty bombproof and their own inserts are slim (but absorbent), leaving lots of room for boosting without either making the nappy huge or causing leg gaping.

Have you tried something a bit more basic, like terries and a wrap? We can boost Mog in a wrap without there being any problem with gaping. She's a bit younger though, so maybe doesn't wee as much. Very cheap to try though.

Dunno if it'll help but have you tried wraps with gussets in? Or lanolised woolen shortie longies x

Don't say that

i've just washed my brand new issy bears ready for my son to wear and he is a heavy wetter

Jetters · Oct 14th, 2010, 15:36 PM

Ah don't worry Janidog, it wasn't a heavy-wetter problem with the Issys, it was that they were way too bulky on him and mine were poppers (i'm anti all snaps except BG snaps!) xx

We are currently having the same issue but only at night. I've finally gave in and have been putting her in a sposie at night.
