Bum Genius leaking

jennyvirginia · April 2011

My Bum Genius 3.0 and 4.0s are constantly leaking, day and night. I have only washed them in Planet detergent and the seem to fit well (though my baby has skinny legs). I use the thicker inserts, but doublers make them way too bulky for daytime use. Any ideas on why they are leaking? Any suggestions for diapers that work well on tall,skinny babies?

TIA!

How often are you changing? Also is the insert soaked when you change? If so, you need to add more absorbency and/or change more often.

If the insert isn't soaked your diapers may be repelling.

Thanks ladies, they are usually wet, not soaked. I change every hour or two. If it's an absorbancy issue, I don't want to add a doubler because she is so small and the diapers are already so bulky.

I am going through 22 diapers (which is my whole stash) in less than two days, so I am looking to buy some new diapers to add to my stash. And suggestions for a good overnight diaper?

I just ordered Rump A Rooz and Kawaii because I heard from my friend (who knows everything CD related) that they would be good on my long, lean baby!

I've also been having random leaking issues with my BG 3.0/4.0s. Sometimes they won't leak for hours and other times, I'll put one on and it immediately leaks. I've stripped these (looked like they were repelling), but no success.

LO is also tall/skinny. We've had great success with BG Elementals and Kawaiis (though Kawaii did leak last night).
