    Thats bizarre that they are leaking around the waist? I only get leaking around the waist if he's sleeping or something and it leaks out the top cos he's a belly sleeper.

    Are you using compatible inserts with the brands? I only use my green kids inserts with my green kids. You can only really expect to get about 2 hours out of microfibre anyway, it just doesn't hold that much, especially with a heavy wetter.

    Or you could try putting the pockets in the dryer on low for a few minutes to try and reseal the PUL? It might be that.

    Or it could be - because you get leaks with your green kids and not swaddlebees, maybe your bub is more suited to narrow crotch nappies? Green kids are really wide. We get severe camels toe here, but no leaks, so they aren't too bad here.

    Thats all I can think of at the moment. How many times have you washed your bamboo inserts?

    Thanks Mel!
    Have seen the waist leaking a number of times but around the legs ALL the time.
    My inserts match the outer- I am weird about them going with the right one!

    I just thought that it is weird that it is a variety of nappies and that I just can't find one that I think "I would like a dozen of those". Would PUL need resealing this early on?
    The Greenkids are superwide aren't they? I can't figure how the leaks happen? I can't see any obvious camel toes...
    Bamboo inserts have been washed probably a dozen times I am guessing?
    I am not exaggerating on getting an hour out of the nappies! I spoke to the lady at CTs about them and she said you could get up to 5 hrs from a CTC- now I wouldn't leave a baby in a nappy 5 hours nor expect to be able to but 60 mins??
