Grovia AIO fit and absorbancy question

[2wonderfulboys]

I ordered a Grovia AIO on a whim. I was going to try and cancel, but it was too late. I got it today with the full intention of sending it back. It was so pretty I though I would try it on (over a sposie). It has a crazy fit. There is a huge gap in th legs? Can I fix it or is this just how it fits? I adjusted the rise, but that made it worse. Can anyone help? Also how is absorbancy compared to say a BGE?

How old is your LO and how much do they weight? The fit might be funny because of the disposable. I would try making it a little higher in the back and then stretching the front up more.

I just didn't want it to touch her bum since I may return it. It was a brand new one so nothing in it yet She is 5 weeks and I would guess 12lbs.

I was going to say it looks like she still has newborn chicken thighs! Try snapping the lower snaps tighter and letting the wings stretch and flex around her. You can either leave the waist as is or make that tighter too. She's at the very bottom of the weight range I think, but I would guess that it varies by build when they're that young (for instance, a long skinny 12lbs might not fit as early as a short chubby 12lbs).

To compare with BGE... I would say they are not as absorbent, but pretty close when fully prepped. I like the fit MUCH MUCH better because of the skinny crotch, and I'm sure that difference would be marked on a tiny baby like yours. At this stage you would probably use it on the smallest rise without the booster.

I would snap it all the way on the smallest setting at least for the thigh. They are excellent for skinny kids and pretty what what I've used exclusively on my DD since she was about 8 weeks old. You are just at the cusp of fitting into OS diapers really well, they will continue to fit better as your child grows, but for now it seems like you need the smallest setting.

I tried moving the snaps tighter and it still does it. I guess she isn't shaped for grovia AIO

Anyone else?

We didn't get a good fit with these until closer to 15lbs. You might want to hold on to it and try again in a few months!

I couldn't get a decent fit when dd was tiny; she is 7 months now and I can get a good fit. It does look kind of weird, but it held in a 4 day in the making poo, so I guess it works! FWIW she had gigantic thighs until around 6 months and then she slimmed down a ton once she started being squirmy. She was in the 9th percentile for weight at her 6 month check up.
