I've used these for 10 months without problems. Now, my son's diaper leaks a lot. I use 2 liners and sometimes fold one of them in half. Any advice?

I used cloth diapers from babies are us. But older babies produce more urine so you will have to get used to changing them as soon as they wet themselves.

Not 100% sure why, your having issues. Is it the liners leaking for the outer diaper cover? I'm taking a guess & thinking possible a few reasons. 1- Not washed according to MFG directions. Maybe to much detergent has built up & is now preventing the liners from doing their job? 2- Also, I don't put the liners or the covers in dryer. Mine air dry. 3- I have about 4 days worth of diaper liners & covers. So mine are not used daily.They are rotated. If you have been using the same 2 dozen for the last 10 months, Maybe it's just wearing out. 4- I don't need or use any type of diaper cream, If you do, perhaps that is building up. As my daughter got older, I too found it necessary to use 2 lines, during naps. Post here if you found out why this is happening. Now I'm curious

Have you test them to see if they are absorbing liquid like pouring water on them and see how fast they soak up? Have you tried stripping them? Like boiling them in water? I have used mine for about 9 months now and so far ok.

Interesting...You could be right, about your son's bladder holding more fluid, especially where you say they are leaking from.

It depends on the contents. If it's not a solid dirty diaper, I just switch out the prefold and reuse the cover. If it is a solid dirty diaper, it will sometimes leak off of the prefold, but it stays contained in the cover. Then I will wash the cover right away. My son is almost a year, and he rarely leaks through on to his clothes in these. On average, I'm able to reuse the cover up to 3 or 4 times before washing it. I absolutely love these diapers and would choose them over the overpriced ones any day. I hope this helps.

I had no leaks. I agree with trying different folds. When I was new to cloth diapering, I found that leaks were almost always caused by my folding techniques. Trifold is the easiest but does not contain blowouts.

I have been using these for a while and at first they are pretty much water resistant, but after many many washes they eventually do wear out and become not 100% water resistant and if your baby's diaper leaks it could leak through the pad, then it's time for a new pad (or at least that's how I did it). But I do want to mention, they last for while, so it's worth it to buy. And I personally like that they are covered with cozy and comfy cotton flannel and not some synthetic fibers that start looking if you used them for 10 years after the very first wash!!!

We've used this in my daughters crib now for almost a year and haven't had an issue. But if it ever happened to me, I'd contact the manufacture. Most of the time, that seems to do the trick when it comes to that kind of stuff. Hope that helps.

We've had them for 9 months now. We've refilled at least 4 times and have not had any leaks. However, we did buy different nozzles in the beginning because we wanted the flip covers, so your results may vary.

That was my husband's problem. Leaked when slept on side. If slept on back ok. My husband rarely does in diaper so the few times he went in these they leaked.

They might be pretty bulky with a liner but you could give it a try. I find these are pretty easy to clean with a sprayer. You can drop one of the flaps down in the toilet while holding the rest of the diaper up out of the way. I had both these and the elemental (ended up selling elemental and buying more of these) and found these much easier to clean bc the flaps are not attached on both ends, as they are with the elemental. As far as break in, they recommend washing them a couple of times before. I did that and they work great. Going on 5 months and I love theses diapers.

Actually, I had 4 of them & they all lasted as long as promised. Then a few weeks apart, they started leaking some brown gel into the toilet tank. I checked after I noticed the toilet bowls had rings around them that they had not had for all the previous years. I have replaced all 4 again.

Just wash and dry like anything. We wash in hot or warm with our cloth diapers and dry also with the cloth diapers on hot in the dryer. So, yeah, don't bother to treat them special. These things have been SUCH a lifesaver to prevent leaking. We've had them more than 2 years and they are good as when we first bought them. First used them with Bum Genius and now with FuzziBunz which we prefer (got both handed down which may be why we had leak problems in the first place). We place them on top of the stuffed diaper, not in the pocket, as they help with absorption.

I didn't have that problem at all, these are denim and denim tends to stretch back out. If you're concerned, wash and hang dry... these really are the best of the best product for our male incontinent babies.

I have had mine for over a month and haven't had that problem. I've had the sides tear on the plastic ones, but these are more cloth like. Love them!

We use the Planet Wise liners. I will say that now that we have been using this for just over 2 years, it has been great, but if we wait longer than every other day to do diaper laundry now that our son has more inserts in his diapers, the lid does not close all the way - it's not a big deal to us, because we keep it next to the washing machine in the laundry closet, and we do diaper laundry at least every third day, and usually every other day. Just wanted to let you know. Also, the little hole on the top became pretty useless after our son was out of newborn diapers. http://www.amazon.com/Planet-Wise-Reusable-Diaper-Avocado/dp/B003XSEV2O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1405605929&sr=8-1&keywords=diaper+pail+liner

I have 3 kids that use them and have never had a problem with leaks and one son who always has a problem with leaks. I think it is user error :)

Sounds like you're not closing it all the way, you should hear a snap when it's closed all the way. I have 3 & none of them leak, they've been great!

I have had them for 6 months. No leaks other than a drop that may be there after pumping that you don't wipe off.

I've had mine for 6 months with some of them cut to size, and used on a daily basis. So far, so leaks.
