Okay so I started CD'ing PT at home...I have discovered that my kid goes thru everything w/in 2 hours...is this normal?  I have talked to some of the diaper makers and they have said, WOW I have never had anyone leak thru one of mine...and she is a good friend so I actually believe her

Does anyone have any suggestions on what is the best for supersoakers.  We have just tried AI2 and AIO - I know the AIO would be a quick thing and not last long...but it was soo freaking cute!  I am hoping to avoid anything TOO complex as I want DH to CD as well...eventually.

THANKS LADIES!

So, is an AI2 a pocket?  Or something else?  Because, I would suggest a pocket stuffed with some high absorbancy stuff, or combination thereof.  Hemp, microfiber, PF.  How about getting a few liner/soaker things to put in your AIO.  How about a wool cover?

Shooting from the hip here, with my lack of experience as a whole

I agree, if you are using pockets, stuff them with extra stuff!  We really like the microfiber inserts and I remember someone telling me that you can get the microfiber towels in the automotive section of Walmart for like a quarter a peice!  Bulk might end up being an issue, too.

Maybe you could try a few different brands of diapers, too.  Some just have a better fit on some babies and don't leak as much.

My ds was a super soaker! I was happy to make it 2 hours in a diaper. We had the most luck with Hemp diapers. Happy Heinys are great and the soaker is hemp/cotton, they work really well for a super soaker. I also like lukesdrawers. They have a variety of diapers, from all in wonders, aios and the good night kisses really are the only diaper that works for us at night time.
When my ds turn 1 he really stopped wetting so much. I change him every 3 hours now and we don't have too many leaks, so that is something to look forward to. It will get better.

I tried one AI2 and it didn't work for us at all.  I have several AIOs and they don't last us more than 2 hours.  Have you tried putting an insert on top of the AIOs or AI2s?  Sometimes adding an extra layer would help.  I prefer using pockets so I can stuff them as much or as little as needed.  You can pre-stuff the pockets and have them ready to go for your DH!  Good luck finding the right solution for your family!

i have the king of super soakers!!!!. i use motherease sandy's with a prefold inside and a wool cover at night or a motherease airflow during the day.  i totally empathize.  and aios won't help you at all.  you may be better with pockets, but i haven't had much luck there either, just stick the the fitteds with a pf and cover.  even dad like the motheerease-won't touch anything else in the drawers.

Thanks ladies.  Right now I am using AI2 which is like an AIO but has the layers on top that can snap off.  We are using ones that have 8 layers of hemp WITH an additional hemp doubler and he still soaks thru within 2 hours.  I am thinking I will try pockets as those are easy.  I also just got my first two fitted diapes so I must try those.  THANK YOU soo much for all your advice I would love all the recommendations you got!
