Okay THIS is what I'm talking about and need help!

I have been trying to find an example in my day to day diaper experience that shows what has been going on with her dipes and I either only catch it when the dipe is completely soaked (so no point in taking a pic of that) or it doesn't happen....FINALLY caught it at the beginning. Here's the pic and you might have to tip your screen back to see what I'm saying (at least I do).

What is causing this "leakage" mid-diaper (not along the seams)?! Its driving me batshitcrazy!

    Leaky PUL? Are you having this problem on a lot of diapers or just on a couple? I get this with some older covers that I have and I suspect (the PUL is hidden so I can't confirm) that the PUL has become damaged and degraded and causes moisture to wick right through the PUL which shouldn't happen under normal circumstances . . .

    Do you dry your diapers or line dry? Are they older or newer?

    Is the insert bunching/folding up there or ending?  Crack in the PUL?  weird...

    Is that a BG?  Does it look like the PUL has "stretch marks"?

    I would also check out the PUL. It is probably cracked.

    How old is the diaper? What kind is it?

    BG OS and less than 1 yr old. This happens on random diapers. It isn't necessarily THIS diaper - this started when I bought a new stash of used dipes from a mama - Could this be because the insert isn't absorbing and its just "draining" through and going through the PUL in spots? She wore this diaper for seriously 10 mins. And this particular outside (not necessarily the insert) is one of the older ones (not from the stash that I bought when the issues started).

    The insert is probably absorbing just fine.

    My guess is that the PUL has been cracked or streched so that liquid can get through. When you have a damp or wet insert sitting next to knit fabric (ie the outer of the diaper without the PUL) it is going to bleed through.

    If they are less than a year old, I would contact the maker of the diaper and see what they suggest.

    I would contact cottonbabies if it's been less than a year.  They should be able to help you out!
