Pockets leaking!

SallyCampos22

Not sure what we're doing wrong....is there a fool-proof way to tell you've got the diaper tight enough on pocket diapers with snaps? On a few of my cheapo CDs if I tighten it to where I think it should be, LO ends up with the diaper below his belly button. Within an hour he's leaked through the top. This doesn't happen as much with the Kawaiis, maybe because they're longer?

Thanks for the help!

What inserts are you using? And are they soaked when you take the diaper off?

Here is a page that talks about the different reasons your dipes might be leaking and what to do.  Good luck, leaky diapers are frustrating!

Sorry it isn't clicky.

The ones that seem to leak the most are the cheapos I bought off e-bay (I think babyland is the brand). The inserts are microfiber. Sometimes they seem soaked (usually just in the front)  but sometimes not. My Kawaiis (bamboo) sometimes leak too but not as often. The cheap ones seem to be smaller and don't fit him as well.

I suspect I'm not getting them tight enough where they need to be but I'm not sure where the rise of the diaper should hit his belly.
