Babyville boutique PUL

My Aunt has made me some covers out of babyville PUL and I'm finding that it tends to leak if my DS is in it for a few hours and it isn't changed frequently. Does anyone else have this problem or use babyville? I have already tried resealing in the dryer.

Are there other brand recommendations, maybe that I could order online that work better for sewing my own covers?

    First, any cover is going to leak if you leave it on for hours without changing frequently. How often do you change LO's diaper cover? I change with every diaper change so that the cover has a chance to dry out between uses.

    Second, where are they leaking from? This will help identify the problem if there is one.

    The babyville PUL has a bad rep for delaminating. I think that they have fixed this problem, but I'm still nervous to buy it. If you are looking to buy PUL, I've bought from very baby and wazoodle.

    I guess I should clarify. I don't leave it on for hours unless he's asleep. I normally change every hour to 1.5 hour unless he's napping.   Sometimes the leak is my fault because I didn't make sure the diaper was tucked completely in, but the issue I'm having is leakage near the front flap where the Velcro is sewed.

    I change the cover with each diaper change as well. Do you wake your LO up to change a diaper?

    this. If it wasn't 100% polyester thread it can wick moisture to the outside. Also, while I haven't made any covers myself, all the PUL covers I have include an extra layer of PUL over the area where the snaps or velcro are attached.

    No, I definitely don't wake up to change a diaper!  I agree with PP that the type of thread used may be the problem, cotton thread will wick moisture. Let us know what you find out.
