Thin legs, bamboo nappies - advice on choice please

Hi - DD#3 is currently in Bambinex bamboo fitted nappies with motherease wraps. She is however very skinny legged and whilst I love these nappies I wonder if there is a better option for the fitteds to minimise poo leaks out of the leg hole sides when I do move on up to the next size - I only have size ones of the bambinex and happy to keep using these for now. Are the totbots bamboozles any better fitting around the legs, or can anyone suggest any other bamboo fitteds that we could try when she is a little older. (only 5 weeks at the moment, but both other DDs had skinny legs that stayed that way too so I expect hers will)
Thanks

Hi there
I love the bamboo Mother-Ease Sandy's... very soft and silky, super-absorbent, and with good elastic at leg holes for containment.
Also, poppers at waist and leg for skinny legs!
HTH...

Yes, Bamboozles are much better fitted around the legs. At least the aplix ones are - didn't have such good results with their poppered ones. Little Lamb do bamboo nappies too, which also have good containment.

WeeNotions northern lights are lovely for skinny legs IMO. Also Nature Babies Lovables bamboo, if you don't mind applix

Pop-ins. My DS was teensy at birth, and had the skinniest legs; he also has a really small bum. (He obviously gets that from me. ) The pop-ins have a double leg elastic thingy, and I've never ever had a poo leak.
But buy them from my lovely friend who runs babipur. The discount code F100 should still work.

I use the bambinex with nippas and motherease wraps and find it to be a great combination, though we don't have thin legs . Do you use nippas? because they give great adjustability. Even if you have the popper ones you can still use a nippa. Also you could try turning down the front to give a closer fit (I do this with 10week old DS, but we have size 2s)

Sandys have popper adjustment at the leg so would be quite good Nature Babies Loveables are quite good for slim legs, and they have a leg frill like the Sandys but are quicker drying and Aplix fastening

Thanks for responses - Sorry I didn't reply sooner, DD#3 ended up in hospital and I totally forgot I had posted this

I'll check out some of the suggesions.
