I dont know what to do....Rhiannon is in mummystouch nappies, and lately cos she has been drinking so much due to the heat, the nappies are leaking within 2 hours, no matter how many inserts i use or dont use...i dont really want to go back to sposies, but im at my wits end, i am going through 5-6 pairs of shorts or trousers a day due to the leakage, and my washing is just getting stupid.
any ideas? ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Maybe your inserts need to be stripped..
Daniel is a super pee'er but 2 microfibre inserts does him during the day. |

are you putting the hemp in furtherest away from her body cause its not a fast absorber... and check the nappy itself isnt repelling the liquid as it may just be that that needs stripping not the inserts. ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

| We are having a similar problem and after a bout of nappy rash I have gone to changing Tom at his night feed.....and lately I am getting leaks as well! We used to go 12 hours with no leaks. Bloody annoying |

Strip all of the above.
I found that after a long period of constant use that I needed to strip them more often... as in once a month or so... or atleast a hot wash once a couple of weeks which would mean the naps went further between strips. |

Are the inserts soaked right through? If they are then they don't need a strip, and you need to add more/change your combo/try something else.

With Rhiannon both inserts are completely soaked, but she is only leaking around the leg area, not anywhere else. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| You may have to try a different combo then if they are soaked. |

Could it be the fit around the legs then? Could her clothes be too tight around leg casings causing wicking? ------------- http://lilypie.com">

i'd say if the inserts are soaked then you need more absorbency.. ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">
