wow - that would explain why one of my night nappies has just disintergrated! grrr, oh well a lesson learnt, now to wash every day, or at least rinse them...

[AmandaJ]

Now I know why my pumpkin pop-in and one of my CT has done this. Good to know.

[BrightSparkles]

Hmm....off to rinse them now.
Hopefully i'm not too late

Great, so much for the ease of dry-pailing!! I never rinse. Bugger.

Gotta say, I've never rinsed my bamboo ones, and we haven't washed very frequently since April last year, and haven't had any disintegrating or any issues at all. We use green kids bamboo inserts.

I'd heard that's the case with most mcn's- shouldn't dry pail them for more than 24 hours, because the ammonia fumes will eat into most fabrics and elastics... but I'm new at this, so don't take my word for it

Hmm I didn't know either, I dry pail for a day or two, well was washing dailiy until I got some more IB's this week, so looks like I will be rising daily now, thanks Alioops!

oooooo, good to know as my stash just got big enough to go 2 days w/out washing.

Thanks for the info

Any ideas on how long to disintegrate? I wash every other day and don't rinse and to be honest am not keen on rinsing as the dry pailing appeals ease point as view as well as trying to limit water consumption. I use Green Kids Bamboo inserts - if the disintegrate is 5 years then would continue as I am - 8 months in so far and no sign of inserts disintegrating.

Is a shame if dry pailing is no good because, I think will put people off using cloth.
