    My Cushie Tushies keep leaking!

    Im getting a bit frustrated with my cushie tushies. I think i have only used them about once without them leaking. They aren't on for very long and have been washed at least 6 times so the bamboo should be fairly absorbant by now. They seem to be a good fit for DS around the legs and waist. We use flushable liners which i thought were the problem as they were quite thick but i have bought new ones that are much thiner and sit only above the absorbant pad. Im out of ideas. Is there a trick that i am missing out on?

    Hmmmm where are the leaks? Up his sides or out the legs? Or up the back? How long are they on for?

    It is possible that they haven't reached their max absorbency. Or the fit might just not be right for your little one. There is so much trial & error involved. Or you have a heavy wetter on your hands, and you might need to find a nappy that can hold more.

    I have problems with my cushie tushies aswell. They almost always leak, but I think it's because they don't fit DS very well around the leg. It's a shame too, cause I really like the look of them.

    Yeah, same here. They're not good, way too big in the legs and my DD has chubby legs. Also, elastic is pretty dodgy.

    same. Definitely not my favourite. More of an after bath only going to be on an hour nappy.
