the happy heiny US site (the company that makes them) recommends to put PUL pockets in the drier every so often, to melt or re-seal tiny holes in the PUL. it's in the care instructions.

WIllow, EVERY nappy wash for us is a 60 degree wash. Our PUL products are fine with it, our minky is fine, the bamboo and hemp is fine, nothing is suffering for the 60 degrees hot water.

What i do (to get longer life out of the MCN) is to use laundry bags.
I keep any MCN that is black separate, and any MCN that has velcro/aplix on it separate, and MM fleece separate and any MCN that has applique, separate. (each in own laundry bag). THis stops snags and lint removal. just bought dustmite pillow protectors to use as laundry bags. good size, better zips ( they last a year, as opposed to the two weeks i get out of laundry bags, before zip disintegrates and DIES on me).

Willow, if you're after a good night nappy, there are a good number of medium long and large night KK AIO's on Possum Pouches right now. that site often has not much stock up, so it's such a rare sight to see so much stock listed (for the Nappy hunt). THere will be no more PP stockings this year, so if you're interested, buy NOW. THe hunt discount is extended on that site too. My DD has been in the medium long for over a year now and still heaps of snaps settings left, i think she's gonna be in it until TT.

i also noticed (malden millls) fleece pockets on the bits for bots site, but only the aplix sort at the moment.

both are good "quick dry" night nappy combos. Great for people just starting their night nappy stash. Love the night fitteds, but they do take longer to dry, which is not so great if you only have a few night nappies in your stash (like at the start).

Vinegar is NOT good for MCN, that's why the "de-smell" wash should only be done rarely. And as you suspected, it's the INSERTS, BOOSTERS that will need it the most, not the covers, shells etc made out of PUL (which vinegar is not kind to).

ALIOOPS - great to see you back online! woot!

How are you feeling Janie? Is it you that is ill or your family?

WOTBB: whatever night nappy combo dh put on her, i was too exhausted to even look or care. He just brought her to me, all sleeping bagged up, ready for her bedtime booby milk, gorgeous little sucker she is. It puts her in such a good mood for bed. nothing more beautiful than a sleeping child!
