...Use more cloth?

I use bath towels and put microfiber towels inside, I put one on about 5pm today, after takeing off a disposeable i had on for most of the day, because it started to leak.

Anyway, I put it on about 5pm with pair of snap plastic pants, I just took it off around 10pm it was completly soaked it weighed a ton, it was just starting to leak a little, because I was sitting around and when I do that, I just keep drinking and leaking.

Use a diaper doubler?

If no one objects i'm gonna move this thread into diaper talk... I don't see anything particularly mature here that would make this thread need to be in mature topics. If anyone objects to this feel free to make the argument.

The easiest way to make a cloth diaper more absorbant... layer them. There are inserts that you can buy... but it is typically easier to just add more diapers.

That would be cloth's downside... to get adequate absorbancy out of them they need to be super thick... thicker than any disposable.
