Pop-in Dream-dri leaking...would BumG be better?

[LoobyLou33]

I use a combination of the Pop-in Dream dri and 2-parter older nappies like Sandys, tots bots with motherease wraps (which I was given by various friends, danke schoen!) I bought the pop-ins new and was very excited about how cute they are, but unless I change them within 2 hours they often leak wee around the legs and sometimes the top too. Bit of a pain as it means a change of clothes. DS1 is now 14 months...perhaps he's a heavy wetter, but another friend with a 7 MO girl has found the same thing. It even happens despite using a bamboo booster on top of the 2 microfibre liners.

I tried itti tuttos and they leaked even worse! I reckon poppers don't suit DS, he's got a very slim waist and it's difficult with poppers to get a close fit. Shame, cos the cotton liners keep baby really dry.

I was thinking of expanding my collection a bit to hopefully find some more reliable but attractive/slim all-in-one nappies, and wondered whether Bumgenius might be a bit better, as their liners looked a bit more substantial on the pictures, and I liked the idea of organic cotton. Or has anyone tried the new Pop-in +bamboo? I do love the fact that dream dri dries so quickly in the winter, so don't want something that will take eons to dry!

Thanks nappy gurus for your help

Put a (clean) microfibre cloth in as a liner. Mops up gallons.

i use Pop-in+bamboo and older version Pop-ins as well they take a night to dry in the airing cupboard, and around 4 hours on the line on a nice sunny day, my DD2 is 12 weeks and goes about 4 hours in a nappy, i angle the velcro down so it pulls the leg bit up and so a bit tighter, i have never had leaks but both DDs are chunky monkeys

i used BG with DD1, they leaked every time, and i cringe at having to put my hand in the pocket to pull the liner out, however my friend swears by them.

I have velcro BGs for my 14mo DS, love them, very adjustable and have never leaked wee, been using them since he was 3mo. They generally get changed every 3-4 hours but can last 5 or 6 if needed with the two inserts. And they go on just like a disposable so nursery have no problem with them. Dry overnight on an airer indoors. Haven't tried pop-ins so can't give a comparison sorry.
