re: Cloth Diapers Rock, Bitches! Vol. 4

Quoting Jace's Momma (39):" How do I go about prepping? All pockets.. (some new, some used) And what is a good regular wash routine for them? I have no idea how to go about this stuff..  "

Id strip the used - but thats just me.

New, wash all MF & pockets together on warm - take the pockets out & continue to wash inserts about 4 more times (i use detergent for the first wash & then nothing for the subsequent ones) then throw the inserts into a drier, the last 15mins put the pockets in there on a low heat setting to seal the PUL/stitching and then use  

Bamboo i do separate in a hot wash with detergent twice & then 3 hot washes without anything + in the dryer also.

I've heard you can soak inserts etc over night & then put them in the wash/dryer and use them ASAP without all the wash cycles... i dont know how accurate that is though?  

I've never done it.

ETA:
For ther CD's i have no clue haha! I only use pockets.

Better just exhausted T was up until after 3 am.
Elderberry is awesome!

Quoting Ecstasy:" Im scared of anything other then pockets lol!   I might look into fitteds as our boys night time nappies if the pockets dont hold up well  "

Oh I LOVE fitteds!!!

That it is. I need to start downing some myself. I have got this crud now as well  

Quoting Moses.:" Oh I LOVE fitteds!!!"

Yeah, this. I wish I could find some that I adored for a good price, though. I had one for a while that was the best thing EVER, but now DD has outgrown it and the next size up doesn't fit very well yet.

You can borrow mine  

How the hell do your inserts not get stained up?!?? Mine are trashed already and it's been not even 2 weeks.  

Quoting Moses.:" Oh I LOVE fitteds!!!"

Is the absorbency sewn into the diaper?.. like an AIO without the PUL?

I'd be scared i wouldn't be able to get them dry or boost absorbency.. i might have to get Sabrina to make me some to give them a try when i have some more funds  


Are they only sized?

Quoting lolajessup:" How the hell do your inserts not get stained up?!?? Mine are trashed already and it's been not even 2 weeks.  "

Microfleece liners or something like that   ...

Also rinsing them straight after i take it off, i always do diaper laundry the same day also.

I find the longer the diaper sits & if you don't rinse your more prone to staining.

I didn't CD a newborn though   .. I started when our LO was about 6mo.

Nah, they are OS, xl os or sized. And she makes them AI2 style, so they dry super quick   But, it IS Sabrina, and she can do pretty much anything you ask her to do   She's magical like that.

Quoting lolajessup:" How the hell do your inserts not get stained up?!?? Mine are trashed already and it's been not even 2 weeks.  "

IDK, they're just inserts. Nobody seems them but you before you stuff them   If you want, try oxycleaning em

Sun is your best friend. Even on a rack in the windows.

Quoting lolajessup:" How the hell do your inserts not get stained up?!?? Mine are trashed already and it's been not even 2 weeks.  "

Sun. And it slows down once you get past the newborn stage when they smurf constantly.

My OS from my seventeen month old aren't stained but my nb ones are... I think it's the poo lol. Or maybe the sitting... I don't rinse Beckham poop... Aubrey poop I do...
