Yes, me again!!!
Okay so I've washed my pop-in's and they're now absorbant enough to use. So we aren't leaking..which is awesome! But, I thought that the pad things around baby was supposed to be dry? Or am I being silly. It seems to be soaking wet? So..I thought maybe I needed to put the microfibre on top and the bamboo booster underneath, but I just read in another post not to put microfibre against baby's skin? I duno. I'm lost!! I've done what Aethalia told me in another post:- you should have the shell with two pop in boosters in an hourglass shape, one bigger than the other and the bigger square bamboo booster. pop in the big hourglass one (snaps at both ends), then the smaller one on top, and the bamboo booster goes around them (or under the smaller one and just around the big hourglass). If you want to add more absorbancy add more inserts. It should say on the label what the popin parts are made of. I hope this makes sense For the next time she wears it, but how do others do theirs, and is the inside what's against baby soaking? Thanks in advance! ------------- http://tickers.cafemom.com">

feel free to call me on the scamps 0508 number if you would like to talk to someone.
with the dream dri you want to make sure the non fluffy side is next to baby's skin. the outer shell shouldn't be wet, if it is, means the nappy has been on too long or you have a heavy wetter. If your baby is a heavy wetter then the bamboo with the bamboo boosters will be the better nappy but you might just need to get into the habit of changing more often to ensure the outer shell doesn't get wet. |

I don't wrap the bamboo night booster around the hourglass one. She is too much of a heavy wetter, I figure the microfibre soaks it up quicker then can pass it down to the bamboo to lock it up.
You can't put the fluffy bit of microfibre close to babies bottom but like cloth mummy said the Suede, smooth bit is fine. ------------- Kiara is 3 and Teagan is 2, now we're expecting our long awaited 3rd! http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Thanks Clothmummy, I'll try a few different ways, and if it doesn't work out I'll have to give you a ring!
The outer shell isn't went. It is everything else that is soaked. And yep obviously the pads are there to soak up the wetness, but I thought they weren't supposed to sit wet against babies skin? I think the new pop-in I've just bought might be bamboo? I'm not sure. I think the nappy has on the tag, pop'in original? ------------- http://tickers.cafemom.com">

Yes, the Pop-In original is the bamboo version. I understand what you mean about the bamboo being wet, and as long as the shell isn't wet then you shouldn't have leakage problems.
Maybe you could use a microfleece or flushable liner to create a stay-dry layer. My preference is to use microfleece, because its so much softer! Then just wash the microfleece liners with the nappies. |

I use a microfleece liner on top of these as DD wakes up if she feels wet. PM me if you want me to send you some microfleece to try, I have heaps  keeps their little bums dry. ------------- DD 4yrs DS 2yrs http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">
