How do you keep Aplix tabs closed in the machine?

Have you tried a lingerie bag - read somewhere that someone puts nappies that have the problem that you've described in individually lingerie bag and then in the washing machine and that solved it for them while they used that nappy. ( Haven't tried it yet - bubs still cooking away.) I would suggest using one of the more closed bags than the mesh bags for the nappies.

Yeah, you don't... Useless laundry tabs!!!!
LOL good luck finding a way I have given up!!

So no easy fixes to this problem... what a bummer...

Thanks for the gentler cycle suggestion Raven. I put my last load thru on a slow cycle but it still came out a tangled mess. Augh!

And Liz, I've got a few lingerie bags, I'll try that next.

And I was just in Spotlight today and I picked up some extra velcro strips and will cut them down to size and try sticking the loop part of it onto the sticky velcro of the nappy... but I'm not holding my breath...

Thanks guys.

I second the delicate bag, I had a go yesterday and it worked well

SUCCESS!! I bought some extra 'soft' velcro strips from Spotlight, and cut them down to size and stuck them over the 'hook and loop' velcro tab and it worked on every single nappy. I did it to all eleven nappies in the wash (so 22 tabs in all) and they ALL stayed put!! YAY!

My husband thought I was crazy when I showed him what I'd done!! hehe
