Cloth diaper cover brands

I just started with a cloth diaper service that was a baby shower gift and I TOTALLY love it...I bought a bunch of used diaper wraps off ebay and craigslist. Some are prowraps, which have been excellent...BUT...

The wraps that are Nikky, PolarBabies, and Bumpy are leaking. The Bumpy leak just in the bottom, the Nikky and the PolarBabies seem to get wet all over. Am I supposed to put something else over the diaper wraps?

FYI: The diaper service provides prefolds, and I change the diaper at each waking. The babies are only 2 months old, so they don't have a lot of awake time yet. Maybe I'm going too long between diaper changes, but I shouldn't have to wake them up to change their diaper, right?

 

I've heard to try a fleece doubler to absorb the wetness. DH and I went and bought fleece in a couple of yards and will create ourselves. You can also buy them pre-made.

 

I got right into wool covers as soon as I started using cloth. Talk about not leaking! I loved them! I got them off ebay from a guy who does embroidery and had their little names across there bottoms. CUTE! They are all I ever used, especially in the winter. The pants woolies doubled as PJs.Babyology is what they are called. Aww, that takes me back....

Other than that I stuck with Bummis and Prowraps.

 

I use Bummis Super Whisper Wraps, and am very happy with them. The only time I ever had a leak was when DD had an enormous feeding before bed, slept a long time, and peed buckets - it soaked right through the diaper cover. But usually, the cloth diaper can be totally soaked, and the outside of the diaper cover is still dry. I'm VERY happy with those covers. (Poop always stays contained too.)

 

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Thirsties covers. They run a little big but haven't failed me yet. You can get a good deal on them at CuteCaboose.com.

 

Are we talking leg gap leaking? That may be size. Diapers are not good forever. If they had been well used and dried they will break down over time.
You can try stripping your covers to see if that helps.
Take a small amount of Dawn dish soap add to your washer with the covers in extremely hot water. Rinse for as many cycles as it takes to clear the water of any soap.
Good news, this will clean and detox your machine as well.
Do you use liquid fabric softner in your washer for your clothes? If so this can cause a buildup in the machine that affects dipes when washed.
Good Luck
I have lots of Imsy Vinse and Bumpys, a few Bummis covers as well. My husband teases that I have so many diapers we should have a rider on our insurance. He may be right.

 

I love my Bummi's Super Whisper Wraps. :wub:
