WNSS leaking through snaps

Postby Tara84 » Wed Jan 20, 2010 4:41 pm

I bought a pre-loved wnss a couple of weeks ago and today is the 2nd time she's worn it since then. She's had it on for about 1.5 hours and just noticed a wet patch on her vest over the snaps. I've put a homemade 6 layer hemp jersey insert in there and a microfibre cloth and their wet but not soaking. The wing on one side feels a bit damp as if the wee is seeping through the poppers :-?
Will a quick blast in the tumble dryer fix it and should I put in on full heat or gentle and how long for?

Could be build up or just the pul needs re-sealing, I know when I get new SS with cuddlesoft inners I have to tumble them first. 10 mins on full heat should do it x

:shock: Never heard of that happening before! Definitely worth a try in the tumble dryer, hope it sorts it for you!

I'll try it in the tumble dryer and see if it's any better tomorrow. It's one of the old style ones and the poppers go all the way through all the fabric where as on the new one that I have the poppers only go through the minkee on the outside, don't know if that has anything to with it. Her vests are getting a bit tight on her too so that's probably not helping, will have to get some bigger ones or some extenders.

I've had exactly the same problem -we got leakage from the left hand popper bit and my poppers go all the way through too! Did the dryer sort it out for you? Am going to try that this afternoon. Love them so much I don't want to part with them!!!!! Fingers crossed the dryer works. :(

I think so :giggle: she's worn it once since and that was to her 8 week check and the doctor didn't do it up properly so had leaked out of the legs and waist(I could get my whole arm through the gap on the waist :roll: ) but nothing by the snaps.
