Cloth Diapering

Replacement inserts/ doublers for BG?

About a month ago I went back to using CDs after a several-month hiatus (our washer was on the blink).  I guess she pees a lot more now because I feel like I'm constantly changing diapers!  I use BG 4.0 which need to be changed every other hour, and sometimes the Freetimes (which only last 1 1/2 hrs).  Now that spring is finally here and we're spending more time out and about, it's becoming problematic.  Are there more absorbent liners out there, or doublers that could help? Or is this just part and parcel of using CDs with a toddler (DD is 17 months, but petite, about 20 lbs).  I use disposables if I know we're going to be out for a while, but I'd rather not have to if we're just going to the neighborhood playground.  I don't want to give up altogether, but it's just starting to become too much!  Thanks for any help...

  • I bought some Applecheeks 2 layer bamboo inserts. I put one of those in with one MF for his normal daytime diapers now, and we're back up to 2-3 hours between changes.

    You could also try 2 alva 4 layer MF/bamboo inserts: <a href="https://www.alvab

  • Thanks for the replies!
  • 2 hours is a fairly standard time for one diaper to last before needing to be changed. To increase absorbency you could add bamboo or hemp though.

  • We were getting major leaking with our BG's. Now we're back to no leaking since stuffing them with some cotton or Bamboo prefolds.
