Yeah, for a first wash, or strip wash I wash them seperately, since I use hot water & only do a small load, but otherwise, my terry flats go in with towels & other nappies will often go in with other clothes, as long as they're only wet.

Skybie (hello hon, long time no see) I'm guessing fc is fabric softner, Loula correct me if I'm presuming wrong? If you did mean fabric softner than nappies can't be washed with it from my understanding. I'm glad this thread is helping someone else too cause when I posted it I thought surely this info is on BB already
I manily wanted to know about the amount of washes for absorbency, I didn't want to go putting the prefolds etc onto bubs butt and find they leaked or didn't absorb

I'm like Kim - I'm originally from Qld and we had water restrictions, so I didn't want to waste water on just getting the absorbency up (and they will still absorb after one wash, they just won't be ok for like a 4 hour stint, more like 2 or something).
I usually have new nappies on the kids after one wash, and just replace after an hour of use or something.
