aristocrat question

[orca]

What system/ diaper do you use UNDER your aristocrat? I'm curious to see what others find works without getting the cover too wet!

Do you mean for night-time? That's really dependent on the child, and how long you're asking them to go between changes.

I don't use that brand of wool, and in fact I don't even use wool anymore at night because he was soaking them, but that's a dipe problem. We were just discussing night-time dipes in another thread.

My guy is a super soaker, and last night soaked a Happy Hempy pocket fitted stuffed with 2 infant PFs and a Hemparoo doubler - and I mean SOAKED every inch of it, it felt like it weighed at least 4 pounds this morning. But other kids can be fine with just an extra doubler in a fitted. And that was in 10 hours. If I had been using wool, it would have been soaked and need to be hung to dry. But so far that's the best diaper combo I've found for him at night... he just pees so much.

I had success with my older daughter when she was a toddler with an aristocrats cover over a toddler pf, with an infant pf and a hemp doubler inside. Now, with my younger dd, she is more like Cristeen's ds. She SOAKS through everything. I had to actually stop using wool at night as well, as it got too wet and smelled awful. I mean awful. Dream-Eze makes a nice fitted diaper that is supposedly absorbant enough for night use. Does it work for my dd? No. I have to trifold a pf around a microfiber insert and a hemp insert and stick that inside the fitted to make sure she doesn't leak, and even then, she completely soaks it with the occasional leak.

That competely blows my mind. DE is our go-to daytime dipe. He can soak it thoroughly (meaning the wool cover is wet) in a long nap.
