Are there Swaddlebees that need a cover?

Sorry to sound like an ignoramus
We've only been CD for about three months and I'm still trying to check out various brands before our son is born this fall. I got three Swaddlebees from eBay, they're in great shape and came with their own inserts, size L, and my 2yo dd soaks through them - completely - with one pee! Today I tried one again and I put in two small hemp doublers (that I also got, new, from a wahm on eBay) in addition to the SB insert, and within half an hour the dipe was soaked through her shorts.

Am I just being stupid and I should have put some kind of cover on over these dipes? I thought they were your basic pocket dipe but it's dawned on me that they don't have the waterproof inner layer that my FBs have so perhaps I need a cover.

TIA for helpin an uninformed CDer!

There are Swaddlebees pockets fitteds. Could you link us to the auction?

Yup, those are pocket fitteds and they need a cover.
It might seem like a hassle, but pocket fitteds can be *wonderful* for overnight. Just stuff the heck outta them and top with a wool cover and it will bullet proof.


ETA: The seller should not have stated that the diapers were "just like Fuzzi Bunz". That is totally misleading since FB *are* waterproof. She shouldn't even be using the name "fuzzi bunz" in her auction. Most people that do that are doing it so they get more hits and I think it may even be against the rules. If you are disappointed with them, it wouldn't be unreasonable to ask for a refund and offer to send them back.

Thanks y'all... I feel like such a bonehead!
:

I had only used FB when I ordered these and I had (and apparently still have!) NO idea what I'm doing... I actually just went to the Swaddlebees site and looked up the dipe that I bought - there's an idea, right? DUUUHHH!!


Thanks for putting up with my ignorance (and lack of initiative in searching elsewhere for an answer... can I blame pg brain and sleep deprivation?).

Thanks again...

So not fair to someone like the op who assumed they were like fuzzi bunz!!

(eta can feedback even be changed? I see you left a good one.)

Oh gosh, this listing is completely misleading.
First of all, just like what PP said, it's claimed to be like FB. Not only that, but the description she has on the item is for our current hemp pockets that has an inner layer of organic velour. Those shown in the picture are clearly our older style hemp pockets that are all hemp and ones we've stopped making for over a year already. Only reason I know is because we've eliminated the leg casings on the hemp pockets.

Hey thanks y'all! I don't feel like quite such a goofball now!


Do you have any recommendations for the best covers for SBs then? I reeaally love how they fit and I want to give them another go!

TIA!
