Bum Genius Knock offs?

I bought some of the bum genius knock offs off trademe and am having a couple of problems with them and just wanted to know how others that have bought them have found them.

I bought the one size ones.

Firstly the insert is tiny, even on the smallest setting it still isn't as long as the nappy, which I find odd and a bit useless. He has had one on for less than 2 hours this morning and it leaked. I'm not overly concerned about the insert as I have HC ones I can use in them but it just seems so stupid to advertise the insert with it when it is actually pretty useless.

The second thing is that they are gaping around the legs but i'm not sure if that is just cos Spencer has skinny legs. My actual bum genius one he wears on the middle setting but I have just compared the two and the knock off ones are quite a bit bigger. So he has one on now that is on the smallest setting but it is still gaping around the legs. The elastic seems good its just that I can't physically get it so that it fits around the waist, without cutting him in half, but is tight enough round the legs (i'm not sure if that makes sense).

Anyway would be interested to hear from anyone else that has the one size ones.

Hi cuppatea, I have a couple. I only use them during the day with my Joel-eze insert in them. They fit Bella well around the legs, but she has very chubby thighs ! I still use the insert, just not on its own...I use it in my fuzzis plus 2 microfibre inserts for her night time nap and it lasts 12 hours. I don't have a bumgenius so can't compare. I certainly wouldn't buy a whole heap of them, but thats more because I prefer our fuzzis as they are a better fit all round for Bella.

I don't have any original BumGenius nappies but I bought one of the kock-off's to try and I don't have any problems with it. I'd never use hemp on it's own as it is slow absorbing so I just fold up a microfibre cloth to put on top and it does really well. My son is 16mths and 11.5kg with quite chubby thighs and he fits it on the medium setting. It's a very trim-fitting option but don't think I'd consider it overnight as I upsize at night to accommodate extra stuffing (I prefer a large Fuzzi or HC nappy for nights).
