I have been using terry squares and Motherease Rikki wraps so far but was looking forward to trying something a bit more up to date to reduce the 'bulk' and maybe make changes quicker. I ordered a few pocket nappies and shaped nappies to try. I love the ease of the pockets but both the ones I have leaked, I got a Nature Babies One Size Stuffable and a Little Lamb pocket. They both fit nicely and stay nice and dry next to the skin but the 'gussets' around the legs get wet through straight away and wick the moisture out onto his clothes. I am waiting to get a Bumgenius One Size 3.0 through to try as well. Is this just a downside of pocket nappies in general or are there some that will work? Otherwise I'll just need to choose a good shaped nappy to use under my completely reliable Rikkis.

hi dexy.  i have to say that i have found this with pocket nappies too; i have a couple of them and only use them if i know i will be changing her again within a very short time or have a lot of spare clothes with me!  i really dislike them.  we use easy-peasy bambeasy shaped one-size nappies (with rikkis or airflow) and they never leak.  i can't recommend them enough - they are brilliant!

My pockets are doing this as well, although my issue is partly that A has skinny legs and thighs so I have little gaps there, I tend to only use them around the house or if I know I'm going to be changing her again soon.

I've found that my Fuzzi Bunzi aren't quite as bad as the rather expensive blueberry minki's.

i love my pocket nappies. i use fuzzi bunz sized nappies.

you must make sure that there's enough stuffing inside the nappy and that it's nice and flat in the nappy. inside my fuzzis are the following:- a microfibre booster that came with the nappy plus a microfibre cloth from tesco (99p for 3 in their value range) and i'm just starting now to add a hemp booster as ds is getting to be more of a wetter.

we went out for a day on friday and from 6.30am to 10pm he used 4 nappies with this combo. i would say that if you boost properly depending upon how much of a wetter you baby is then pockets should go 3 to 4 hours.

Hey hon

Did you get your BumG nappy yet?  If so what do you think?
