Green Kids MCN's

[Je$$_84]

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.

Thanks you so much ladies, will be trying the microfibre and giving it a bit more time before I give up altogether.

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)

GK was the first MCN I bought too.
I have 2 hemp inserts, a bamboo insert & 2 bamboo boosters.
The hemp inserts last for ages. I can put in a booster with an insert & they can go all night.
It does take a good while to get them working properly. I'm planning on getting more of their inserts soon. They are a great fit with other brands too.

I have had issues with GK too on my 18 month old. They just don't last and they leak out the sides of the legs as they are really wide in the crotch so the insert folds up and leaves the outer cover exposed. Try what the others have suggested! Also I fold up another bamboo booster (tri-folded) inside the pocket but it does make it bulky. But I can get over an hour with just the one bamboo insert that you buy with it. They just don't suit my DD is the long and the short of it.
ETA- I just buy one or two of a nappy until I see that it is a good fit and size on DD before buying any more...
