So many leaks!

Our fuzzibuns os elite leak poo/pee almost every time... Unfortunately, they are most of my stash... Could I be snapping them wrong?! I try to keep them as snug as possible but when I do that, the poo will push out the top/back.  If they are not snug, it comes out the sides.  Anyone have a good experience with them?

    How big is your LO?  None of our OS dipes fit DD well until she was closer to 10 weeks.  Her little legs were just too skinny to get a good fit.

    Ditto PP... wait a few weeks until he gets a little bigger before de-stashing or buying new dipes.

    Sometimes they leak if they're too tight, too.  Ours look too loose to be effective, but we haven't had a leak with them.  We've had a couple leaks with sposies though.

    Ditto this! Judging by the age of your LO, the OS will not fit yet. They will fit better once LO reaches the 10-12lbs range

    He is almost 12 lbs... He's got chunky chunk legs too.

    Are the inserts wet when he pees?  You may have repelling issues

    It might just be a poor fit.  They shouldn't leak if they fit well and you don't have any repelling issues (which at this age I'd be surprised you have unless you purchased used and they need to be stripped).   If you take a photo of the fit we might be able to troubleshoot.

    Just in case -- you've adjusted all the elastics right?  Both legs and the waist?  There's a good video here on how to locate and adjust all the elastics:

    As pp said... Perhaps your LO is too small for them? How much does he weight? I didn't put DD into her one size until she was 10.5 lbs. She is a chunk and her thighs keep everything contained.

    I mostly use Bum Genius AIO elemental... I heart them.
