    What am I doing wrong???

    Righto, got myself a beeeeutiful pair of wool shorties from Mel, whacked em on over the BBH at night. First few nights were tops. Dry as a bone!!! The last three we wake up soaking!!
    The first night we'll blame DH for not pulling them right up.
    After the secong I washed and lanolised as per instructions...third night still wet.... what now?

    maybe the nappy underneath isn't boosted enough for him? Mine only leak now if the nappy underneath is bloody sopping wet - so I usually chuck an extra booster in between the nappy and the shorties just in case

    yes sounds like he is outweeing them. They aren't waterproof, they just soak up 30% of their own weight in wet, and the nappy does the rest. The lanolising helps but it's not like PUL or whatever.

    Boost the nappy with an extra long booster on the outside and see if that helps
