Can I revive the velcro on my bumgenius nappies?

The velcro on some of our long serving Bumgenius nappies has seen better days after four years of constant use by 2 DSs. I'm loathe to buy new nappies as DS2 hopefully has only another year in them but they're coming unstuck and we've had a few nappy around knees moments. Is there any way to revive it? Or do I need to unpick and replace? Wish I'd known better when DS1 was born or I'd have bought them all with poppers as the popper ones we have still look like new!

Thanks Momzilla82 that's exactly what I'm looking for! Hope they get them back in stock soon, though having had a quick browse of the nappylady site I'm now tempted by a whole new nappy selection...

I bought some of those repair kits as had the same issue with my BG Freetimes.
If you have a sewing machine it is easier to replace the tabs, as the Velcro is very thick and difficult to get a needle through by hand.
Unfortunately replacing the tabs didn't fix the problem for us as the long Velcro strip on the front had also lost its stick - so we ended up replacing all our Velcro BG with the snap version (wish I'd gone for snaps in the first place to be honest - expensive mistake!).
I don't seem to have had the same problem with the Velcro on my Little Lambs though.
