I love them! We haven't used them in over a year though, but they're terrific for sensitive skin. You can boil water & then soak them in it & then strain it & save it in a bottle in the fridge to use it in liquid form. We started doing it that way because they last longer & we kept forgetting to take the sack of berries out before the rinse cycle so it was like they went through 2 washes instead of just 1.

Anyway, they're awesome. The stickier they are on the outside, the better quality they are too, which is why I hope they start selling them in stores & not just online; so I can see if they're good quality.

I don't use those but I use EcoNuts.

I honestly don't see my clothes fluffier, they definitely don't smell, doesn't really help with stains.

But... NO one has a rash.

So we continue to use them.

Awesome, thanks for the input.
I wanted to use them for the babies clothes when he/she gets here and if we decide to cloth diaper.

I don't know the difference between these and Eco Nuts but my diapers actually stay pretty clean.

But I also sun them with lemon on occasion too.

definitely the best for babies. We have one with horrible eczema, and I mean scaly eczema, and soap berries definitely don't make it any worse. Which is a blessing because she hates cream.

How much do you use of the liquid per load?

Do you use pockets? With microfiber?

I love Soap Nuts! They are great for washing cloth diapers. I've never used them for regular laundry though.

my prefolds do get a good stink going but that usually goes away with sun.

I was thinking you had microfiber, nothing takes the stink out of those.

That is what I read though reviews.
I plan on using prefolds for a while. (I hope) ;) New to the whole cloth diapering, it's a little intimating, I must say. Lol
But I wanted to buy them for baby clothes also. I think I might just go ahead and buy them. It's only $19.50 for 2 bags and it says each bag does 100-140 loads of laundry!
