Best Boosters?

[comjulia123]

Hi everyone and Happy Easter!

Just after some feedback on which boosters people prefer. I am mostly going to be using pocket nappies I think and the few I have used with my 1 year old leak a bit on the inside of her legs and at the font?

First what are you stuffing the pockets with, let's try to work out why they are leaking! I use a premium size prefold. I fold down the front a couple of inches to make it the right length, then fold in thirds to make a long pad. Then I put the whole thing in the pocket (with the extra fabric at the front). When it's in the pocket I fan it out at the front and a little bit at the back so that there is stuffing in the whole of the nappy rather than just a rectangular pad.

I love my BBB boosters as well as my Green Kids hemp mini boosters. They are on the top of my booster pile.

Yep my name is Julia (Jules).

I think the pockets are leaking cos the boosters I am using do not go all the way the the side or the pocket.

So am I better to get a prefold or tri fold? booster? Any ones in particular?

Have you tried a combination of a hemp booster and microfibre folded into 4? That's what we have been getting away with for ages and the hemp is only small sized, about the length of my hand, I really do need to get more. We prefer the hemp (jersey?) thicker fluffier stuff, however I'veheard that denim is just as absorbant.. if you could be bothered making your own.. not something I have tried.
