Diaper leaks from legs

We have a solution for every diapering query arising! Let's sort out the issues you are facing together!

 

 Firstly, we'll check, are the inserts absorbing?

 

You can test absorption by putting a few drops of water on the fresh insert. 

 

If it absorbs immediately then you are fine and if water starts beading up, that means the inserts are repelling which could cause leaks. Check out this handy video to help you test your inserts: 



 

If the inserts are absorbing well, then you might just need more absorption. If you are only using the small insert it may be time to add the larger insert. You may also try boostersovernight inserts, or a cloth wipe added to the front (super useful for boys who need more absorbency up front!) depending on your situation. 

 

Leaking from legs mainly occurs when there is a gap or loose fitting. We have an interesting article on our blog to get the correct fit: https://lilhelper.ca/blogs/press/chunky-thighs-how-to-cloth-diaper-chubby-babies
