GMs last only 1 hour tops?

I have gotten a few second hand GMs b/c everyone on here raves about them. We've tried each of them and seem to be only gettong an hour out of them before she wets through. Is this right? Can I do anything to them to increase their absorbancy? DD is only 3 months right now. If she is wetting them through in an hour now, it'll only get worse as she gets older, right?

Unless DD has a rash, she wears them with covers for 2-3 hours and they are fine. Coverless, its more like an hour or so.

Actually, it will probably get better as she gets older because, although she'll pee more in volume, she'll pee less often.  So, you'll be able to go longer in a diap as there's more time between pees.  If that makes sense.

I've tried many fitteds, on both DD and DS and I will admit that GMs have been the best. BUT none of them will last more than an hour (more like half hour probably) without a cover. With a cover, they'll still get wet on the outside, but the cover holds it in. After two-three hours with it, it will be wet, but not leaking like other fitteds. So even though it's wet, it's still absorbant.....if that makes sense.

As soon as DS pees, I can feel the moisture on the outside.

 

If we are not at home, they will absorb enough for several pees, so I can go 2-3 hours without a leak.  However when we are home I check him every hour and change him as soon as he is wet.

Your baby is still pretty little so I bet she is wetting a lot.  When K was that age it didn't matter what diaper she was in...I needed to change her all the time.

Now that she is older a GM lasts for hours.  Coverless even.  Rarely is she a pee monster anymore.

That does make sense. Thanks!
