I think just give the bamboo and hemp a bit more time to reach their maximum absorbency. For us it took about 10 washing and drying cycles before they worked really well. I love Green Kids and we never have any leaks here either. MCNs can take a bit of getting used to, they can be a bit fiddly at first. I hope they do end up working for you.
I have never had any leaks in mine either. I use the bamboo insert and bamboo booster... (will be getting some microfibre ones later.
I have found alot of coverted people who arent used to changing as frequently... I change every 2-3 hours. Over night i have been using a pop-in or my Maz NN and some nights DD can out wee them
Also if there bulky and pants cant fit buy some babylegs/huggalugs so u can show off the cloth butt and not have to worry bout finding pants to fit...
It's rare for my bubs to get longer than 2 hours. The only ones that do are BBB's or night nappies! I think that is one of the hardest adjustments to make when you change over from sposies.
From what I understand it's not so much the nappy but the booster not coping with the volume?
Your boosters need about 10 washes for maximum absorbancy and hemp doesn't hold as much as bamboo.
It can be a bit of trial and error in the early days to get what works for you right.
I have some green kids but didn't buy their boosters as I'd rather make my own so I don't know what they are like.
If you can sew or know someone who does then if you could get some bamboo fleece and make your own boosters.
as suggested by others, it may be that they need to be washed a few more times. My DS lasts up to 5 hours in a bamboo GK - depending on how much he has had to drink.
With my son i fold the front of the microfibre down and stuff it in with a bamboo insert so the thickest part is over his widdle.. I think with girls you can fold it more towards the back.. Ive never had a leak with mine. (Yet)
