Help! Leaky nappies :(

Postby jellibelli » Thu Dec 23, 2010 11:10 pm

Hello :wave:
I'm new to cloth (just 18 weeks) I've been using a mixture of bg v3, bg aio, flips, weehuggers and ebay pockets for months now with no problems at all....until I stripped them and changed soap powder. Now none of them last more than an hour without leaking :(

I did the dishwasher tablet method stripping then changed from persil non bio to rockin green. Always with an extra rinse for good luck!

Have I totally ruined them? Or maybe its just my giant 5 month 20lb baby outgrowing them!

TIA x

Where are they leaking? Could be that maybe they need to be resealed, sometimes the PUL can leak so a 10 min run through the tumble dryer on hot re-seals the PUL xx

Hi,

They are leaking around the legs almost straight away. Thanks for the tip. I don't own a dryer but will be packing a parcel for the in-laws tomorrow morning :D
