trimmer options for CDing?

mgra328 · October 2009

so i've been CDing DD for about a month and don't have too many complaints. my only issue is that she's a heavy wetter so I constantly double stuff and she is just beyond bulky!

its to the point where i notice that she walks so much better when she's in a sposie.

i mostly use FBs with one micro and 1 hemp insert. the BGs seem to be a "little" better but not much. i bought them used, so the inserts may not be the best quality...i'm not sure as i have nothing to compare them too. (the tag on the inserts says, "rainforest baby."

any ideas?

What about using two hemp inserts. I have found that they are still trimmer than the MF inserts when doubled.

How often are you changing? We double stuff at night but don't have to during the day and change DS every 2-3 hours or so. I've always thought that FB were pretty trim (depending on the stuffing of course), but I also really like the BG organic AIO's. They are really absorbent as well.

I can't imagine double stuffing all the time! I just change DD more often. But to answer your question, I love the BG organic OS AIOs. They are by far our most trim diapering option (although PFs are usually good too).

I'd also say maybe ditch the MF altogether. The hemp is more absorbant anyway.

Ditto on the changing more often. FBs are about the trimmest pocket diap we've tried, but we never double stuff them.

double stuffing, i change her every 2-3 hours so that she doesn't leak. if i "don't" double stuff, she leaks constantly.

again...maybe its the kind of inserts i'm using. maybe i should strip them?

What size/size setting is she on? Does she maybe need to move up in size?

And are the inserts soaked when she leaks? I would think a normal MF insert (BG brand, FB brand, etc...) should hold her for a couple hours. It could be worth a try to strip them.

the inserts are soaked when i change her, for sure.

she isn't on the largest setting yet, even double stuffed. these are the mediums.
