BG v4 leaking why??

[Honeymoonmummy]

Hi all,

I've just taken the reusable plunge for the first time and got a batch of 15 used BG v4 from eBay. I started using them yesterday with both inserts on my long skinny 4mo and they are wet at the legs, making his bodysuits wet around the legs, every time. Am I doing something wrong or have I bought some duff nappies? I do also have a couple of brand new v3's and the inner lining of the outer is very tacky on the used ones compared to the new. I try to fasten them so there isn't any gap at the leg but HR has reflux so I can't fasten them too tightly at the tummy. Please help!

Should say bodysuits are damp round the crotch, not wet! Also I'm leaving them on for about 3 hrs and not overnight yet. He's not an overly heavy wetter.

i often have leaks with BG4 - i think the inserts are not absorbant enough. we either change after 2 .5 hrs or add a hemp or terry booster whicg solves the problem

So do you have the two inserts PLUS the booster? Does this go inside the nappy or just lie against the baby's skin? Where can I get them from?

i buy my boosters from the nappy lady website. I wap the smaller booster for a terry/hemo and stuff them inside with the bigger microfibre. the other thing is if you are just getting damp crotches is how tight are his vests - you may find goijg for a bigger side vest stops this woicking effect. DD is almost 2 and has always been a very heavy wetter, she's now almost ready to potty train so holds on her wees for ages then pees a huge lake so I may not be totoally representative in my experiences
