What happens to PUL when it goes in the drier?

I know this isn't a nappy question, but I thought it'd be as best place of any to ask!

What happens to PUL when it goes in the drier? I think I've just killed my breastpads

[*TripleJ*]

BPs should be ok mine have gone in the drier with no issues it can delaminate which means its not waterproof anymore but the bps will still work just not as good or for as long HTH

I have been using my drier a lot lately for my nappies. Haven't had a problem
What happened to your bp?

[Arimeh]

Did you have it on high or low? Cos low is ok.

[helle]

nah it's always on high cos it's a pretty crappy drier...

i have noticed that I'm soaking thru them, but DS has been sleeping thru the night so I'm fairly full and preyy much leaking everywhere!

[LimeSlice]

Really - nothing - except that it will rebond with the fabric it is attached to.
It does however depend on the quality of laminate used and whether or not it was bonded at home or during manufacture...
And of course if it were sewn in correctly inside your BP - I am assuming it is a 'hidden' layer of PUL?

[helle]

yep! they're MAZ bp's!

i was soaking them through at night when DS was little too i woke up wet i dont think it had anything to do with the pul just lots of milk maybe sleep on a towel not very comfy but it at least helps soak it a bit

[LimeSlice]

I would suggest then that you speak with Maz directly - but her quality and her materials are second to none. So have a chat to her and see what she says.

What do you think has happened to them? How are they ruined?

[*TripleJ*]

do wat limeslice said but also ask her if she can make u some more heavy duty ones if thats the problem im sure she would be able to help u shes awesome lol

[helle]

LS, they're just soaking thru... by the flow at night is equivalent to a running tap ><;; I think I might just have extremely high expectations for PUL!

[skybie]

teagz, i have ten or so pairs of maz;s bp's and all of them in the drier virtually every tme they were washed, never had an issue.
in the early days when i was leaking like a tap (literally soaking through a top every night!) i would put a pair of non waterproof breast pads ontop of maz's for extra absobancy. worked really well, but somtimes sadly the position u sleep in can cause leakage because ur nipple isnt sitting on the pad IYKWIM?

[LimeSlice]

Yep, most likely it is not the PUL that is the issue.
Your overnight flow when bubs is still so little is usually pretty heavy. Have a chat to Maz I am sure she can do some super doesn't-matter-if-they-show-through-my-bra overnight pads for you. lol

There gets to a point when even PUL can't stop the leakage! lol
