I'm intrigued by the 'cover' comments too. Do you guys mean using another cover over a nappy that's already got a waterproof layer? Otherwise I'm bemused.
We used a bamboo fleece pocket nappy with a cover (yoyo) usually with a bamboo/hemp trifold and a microfibre. Lasts 12 plus hours and she looks absolutely fine in the morning, even though the nappy is really wet (mostly the inserts rather than the nappy itself).
I wouldn't use anything other than a fitted plus cover at night I don't think. Just had too many problems with pockets wicking at the leg elastic no matter how carefully it's put on. Too much wriggling around I think!

We used to have a couple of bitti boos which are meant to be really absorbant, but I had to put a pocket nappy with an extra insert in it over the top to prevent leaks. If we used just a plain cover over the boo it would leak.
I agree about pockets gaping at the legs if they have heaps of stuffing. That's why pop ins are my favourite 
How you getting on with the pop in now Ricker? Any more leaks? I just remembered when we first got ours, I used to fold up a microfibre insert in the front (under the other layers so it wasn't against DD's skin) until it had been washed a few times. That stopped it leaking in the beginning too

Trudz, I didn't mean chubby legs in a bad way! Just that my boy's thighs were way too skinny for it to last over night. I still have our Ecobubs, I found it okay as a day nappy or as a cover over a fitted, or extra protection over a sposie at night.

lisame- the bitti boo are a fitted nappy and need a waterproof cover as they arnt. The whole nappy gets soaked rather than the bit between the legs- thats why i dont like them. Never had an issue with my pop-ins except dont wash them in ecostore powder- it DOES NOT get the smell out-

I haven't had a chance to try it again yet. I will tomorrow night because DP doesn't want to put it on her until i have used it a few times & can show him how to put it on

The other thing I find is that Pop-ins are quite susceptible to getting compression wicking so make sure the bodysuit, if you're using one, isn't too tight.

I love my pop in I just have the original, but I find no matter how well I tuck in that front flap it still comes out and the top of DD pyjama pants gets wet.
