Repelling?

VAtoCOVAtoCO
in Cloth Diapering

We have a few Lil Joeys and BG for our newborn.  When he pees, they leak.  We've also just noticed that drops of water do bead up on them.  Does this mean they're repelling?  We prepped according to the directions and are using Rockin Green.  Any thoughts on how to fix this?  I'm so frustrated! 

 All of our natural fiber stuff - KL0s, cotton prefolds - seem to be absorbing fine.

    Did you just run some water over them? To really tell if they're repelling you need to use warm water and apply pressure. If you can't get the diaper to absorb then they're repelling. Lil Joeys get frequent reports of leaks.

    If they're repelling then you'll need to strip them.

    Did you prep them with your prefolds and kl0s?
