Do real nappies leak?
To minimise leaks it is important that you choose a size and type of nappy that fits your baby snugly. There is a wide range of products available to assist in fitting nappies and booster pads can be used to increase the absorbency of nappies. Waterproof outer layer or ‘wraps’ that have elasticated around the legs prevent leaks.
Getting the right nappy for your baby may mean that you have a couple of leakages before getting it right. Depending on the type of system you use you can keep any possible leakage to a minimum by using booster pads and liners and making sure you’re using the correct size of nappy for your baby. Elasticated legs and waist bands are also beneficial to ensure a secure fit.
