So I've loved my f.b dipes thus far. I tried AIO's and they didn't work for me- took too long to dry IMO. DD is now 9mths and we've started having a HUGE leak problem. I've stripped my dipes a couple of times with no noticeable difference. I think this is purely a volume issue. A while back we had double-stuffed at night and have been going that route during the day also, with mixed results. If we're going to continue to double-stuff we'll need some more inserts. What I'm wondering is if there is a different type of insert we should be trying here. We've used just the standard micro-terry ones that come with the f.b. I hate adding that much bulk as it seems to drag her down and makes her clothes a bit awkward looking. So I'm looking for a more absorbant, but hopefully trimmer insert for her. Any suggestions?

We used FB's and I bought hemp inserts for them. (This was before all FBs came with the microterry ones.) Here is the link:http://www.jamtots.com/Inserts-C10.aspx
I bought the "inserts"....the "stuffers" would be less maintenance for stuffing because no folding is required. (They didn't have those when I bought...:( ) They are a bit pricey, but in my opinion, they are worth every penny! Nothing else got my kids through the night (one insert....usually a 3 layer one) and so much more trim for under clothes during the day. HTH! :D

Thanks Kim! I'll be taking a look at those. Since we've already invested so much in the dipes, it'll be worth every penny to make things work better!

No problem! I "pioneered" cloth diapers in my family, so I know what it is like to be without help/information in that department. We've never regretted buying those diapers, despite the cost.

I use one or two hemp inserts with my microterry. I have a 2-layer hemp fleece, because the joeybunz and some others took too long to dry (similar to your issue with the AIOs. I don't use AIOs for that very reason.)

Also, you might want to try prefolds instead of the microterry.

Rach...I don't know what the url button by your name is...I keep hearing you have a website, but I have never actually known enough to get on it! Help please?

Rach's website is www.honeychunks.com She made me a really cute lime wetbag last year!

Thanks Beth! I'll check it out! :D

I totally agree with the hemp inserts. I use a terry and a hemp at night and have never had a leak problem. My hemp is a thicker kind but I don't know how many layers...it was the thickest they had from the store I bought it at.

oh, and I just remembered, I have a mighty nights insert that I got in a trade. It's pretty cool. that insert is 3 times as wide as an insert, and then you trifold it around a microfiber thing (it's sewn at the ends only, for faster drying) kind of like a hemp fleece prefold?

oops, I forgot to add it once we switched over! okay now if you click on my name, the 'homepage' is in the drop down menu. I just don't want to be too overbearing. I am primarily here for fellowship and Christian advice, not to sell things, but I do sell things as a side job, and a way for me to get cool stuff wholesale! LOL.

:-D
