Hi ladies
After some further MCN "research" I see that some brands of pockets, such as Bum Genius, come in one size fits all nappies. For anyone who has used them, is this really true? It sounds like a great plan to me but I'm just wondering if they leak if the baby isn't big enough or anything like that?  -------------

Correcto with the leakage issues. Some better than others.
It's usually said that OSFA should really be OSFM (one size fits most) |

The only thing I found with OSFA is they can be really bulky on smaller babies! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

i had a smart e pants OSFA and didnt get any leaks with it but i wouldnt have called it a one size fits all as it was quite a small fitting nappy and i found out later they had a toddler nappy... so depending on when they TTed it may not be a true OSFA. i also tried a cheek boutique and never had leak problems but they have adjustable legs as opposed to rise. i didnt think tho that they would last more than one child. ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

I'll second that! and what Paws said about the bulkiness. The one I tried from a mate (can't remember brand) was so big I couldn't fit her pants over the top  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| I have tried a couple on Kaleb but he's only 10weeks so haven't seen how they go for different sizes yet. They are a little bulky but I really like them for nighttime use as I sure can stuff a lot into them. I have tried BumGenius, Bum Basics and Haute. |

We have one BumGenius pocket & Haute, and I tried the Bumgenuis a few nights ago - big mistake - major leaks. They really gape around the back of the thighs when you push her legs up and won't tighten anymore in that area. I guess Sam is just a little small for it yet - even with her chunky monkey thighs  The Haute seems better, no leaks but not tried overnight. I have been using the Fuzzi's overnight with a microfibre insert & a prefold with great sucess. No leaks what so ever ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Thanks for that ladies, it has confirmed what I suspected. I might try one or two OSFA when baby is a little bigger (and actually here  )-------------

OSFA is great in theory isnt it? I think they are too bulky on newborns and if you end up with a big toddler then they wont last through to TT. ------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |

i've tried mommys touch and wonderoos. the mommys touch were great on jack, but too bulky on charli at 4mths. i didn't try it again on her before i sold it.
the wonderoos were good on charli but they were too low in the rise for jack so definately wouldn't last til toilet training a toddler ------------- http://www.alternatickers.com">
