cloth nappies and leaking wraps

georgeyoggy

Hello again
Thankyou all for your replys
I think little Finn has grown out of them....didn't consider that it might be the fit...ran my finger round and it was rather snug!!
I do use fleece liners to keep his skin dry...he only wakes up if the wetness has wicked to his clothes. Tried using disposables at night but he gets a sore bottom in them Never have soaked the terries or wraps..too much effort ( LOL) plus with 4 kids and a dog running round I've nowhere to store a wet pail!!
I shall have a look at the sites suggested and try out the motherese..think I had a couple in my trial..eco scene ones or something? I've tried to stick to just a few as I had a bit of a nappy addiction at first, dh had to keep reminding me that I was supposed to be saving money not spending more!!
Mrs Mug...love the wacky wraps..how cute!!
Looneyleo..don't feel bad, only used cloth full time on this one..first two were just disposables, third disposables till this one was born and then he went dry by day, just night to work on now!!(is it just mine, or do all boys take FOREVER to be dry at night!!)Youngest is 1 1/2 nearly:)

Thanks to everyone again:)

nappy days are behind me but i was in millets last week and bought some waterproofing which you can put in the washing machine with whatever it is you want to treat - it's meant for cushion covers but might be worth a try?

I, too, can endorse the MotherEase wraps ... and can easily be bought cheaply from eBay.

Which reminds me, I must go upstairs and dig out the rest of my nappy "collection" and sell them It kinda got addictive.

hi,
I have just this week found a solution to this problem.

Popolini Waxed Cotton

I have used it on my junior joy white wraps yesterday, it has made them waterproof again.
The only drawback is that it has left them slightly yellow ( the wax is yellow) on the inside, but for £2.50 a pot, I('ve used just under half a pot for 5 medium wraps), it's a lot cheaper than buying new wraps!.

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to mention the website I bought it from, if not, please let me know and I'll edit it out

It's really simple, just rub some over the wrap with a cloth and warm with a hairdryer.

hope this helps someone
