I firmly believe that they allow better airflow, which helps the moisture that's sitting on the baby's skin to evaporate, leaving your baby drier and less prone to diaper rash.Sophie van der Lindenhttps://www.best-pack-n-play.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322864304061375013.post-72818211350208490692020-01-31T12:58:07.683-05:002020-01-31T12:58:07.683-05:00Great post!Great post!Rainbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09136401771997450792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322864304061375013.post-59341760808787335762019-04-20T18:03:43.067-04:002019-04-20T18:03:43.067-04:00Great tip!

We're actually still using them a year later with a fourth baby.

I have a pile of Bum Genius diapers and some are basically elastic-less at this point. <br />Question--how long did you replace the elastic before using them on the baby? I too am diapering a giant toddler and my preschooler wears them at night. I am concerned that the elastic will get loose again if I replace too long before the baby comes.aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11431008803928557520noreply@blogger.com
