And we just had a leak. A big one. A small puddle and half a soaked pj later, I changed the perplexed toddler (who confessed to peeing several times) to a L diaper and had a revelation:
The XL simply did not fit the XL wool cover. The L fitted it perfectly.
The leak had seeped out the side where it was peeking, although the soaked through hemp soaker and diaper technically should have contained it if the wool had covered it properly.
Now, Kitten is using a L-L combo and the cover covers all quite comfortably so I suspect either the XL was accidentally shrunk or Wolf’s simply grown.
The solution: forget wool covers, just buy a wool shortie (underwear with cuffs) for your wool+diaper solution. That will solve the diaper peekaboo problem (and if I find a diaper without too-tight elastic on the back and thighs, I’ll get them all).
Mephala is a strange and rather interesting

Am taking all our diapers to the tailor to get the garters re-fitted before Gareth is born.

[...] I stand corrected. Wool covers are critical. They hold tight the whole package which is diaper + insert, something a wool shortie cannot. [...]
