I scaled it to 80%, but saying that DS2 outgrew them in less than 3 weeks. So now I'm making some bigger ones to go between these and prefolds.

I only know of 1 medically indicated circ. I have a friend who had it done for medical reasons when he was 12. The medical reasons were linked to his Muscular Dystrophy, although I don't know the actual details.   I do think...
