I have tried:
Goodmamas with wool: even changing 2x, I get leaks
Goodmamas with wraps under wool: bulky, still have to change, and rash
Goodmamas with fleece liners with wraps: bulky, rash
RaR stuffed pockets with 1 MF insert and an AFFF insert: leaks, bulky, still have to change
kawaii double stuffed pockets: hella bulky (my baby's legs were up in the air!) and leaks
kawaii regular stuffed pockets under wool: still bulky, but no leaks This has been the best option so far, but the insert is DRIPPING when I pick it up, so I don't know how nice it is for the baby?
and disposables: sometimes she makes it, sometimes it leaks. depends on teh brand.
I'm ready to give up on the fitteds. They don't seem all that absorbent and i don't know if I like my baby feeling wet all night. I guess she's just an EXTREMELY heavy wetter?
Re: Night-time diapers (at the end of my rope)
I've tried the Sbish snapless with a wool cover last night, and it worked fantastic even with a night feeding session. Outer layer was still only slightly damp, so I think she could have gone for another! I don't have my AFFF inserts yet, but I plan to use 1 AFFF with Sbish in the future and see if she can go for longer!
Good luck finding your night combo!
I have a heavy nightime wetter, too. I was using NNHeavy Duty fitteds at night and I didn't like the feeling of her being wet, either. Plus, she was soaked and couldn't make it through the last few hours. We just recently tried a combo of the insert of a pocket (so far FB and the Kawaii that was too big for daytime but perfect when stuffed for nightime) we were using plus a Cotton Babies MF insert w/ a Hemp Babies Little Weeds wrapped around the two. We've been leak-free for 4 nights now!
ETA: I throw a wool cover on JIC but it hasn't even been damp.

That could be frustrating. Ever since I started supplementing with formula she's been a super wetter. She usually takes a bottle before her bath, then breastfeeds and takes a feeding around midnight.
We have stuck with the sbish snapless (which can really be stuffed with doublers for absorbency). Other things we've done is re-lanolizing our wool. Sometimes I use a thinner wool soaker under wool footies. Good luck!
Thanks for the recs, guys! I can try the little weeds soaker -- it's not in my budget to buy more fitteds at the moment, or I'd try SBish. I've lanolized a few times, but I'm not having much luck with my wool. I use a ton of lanolin, too!
I guess part of the problem is the bulk. I don't want it to be TOO hard on her, especially now she's rolling. And she's long and lean so fluffy butt is REALLY fluffy.
