    I'm thinking of buying cloth sanitary pads and am wondering if the bamboo in those would do the same thing with blood? Blood, I think, is more alkaline than acid...

    Thanks for posting though Alioops

    Good point Ali. I might start leaving the lid off too Maz! I wonder if the ammonia evaporates and therefore disintegrates the fabric less?

    Bath - I don't dry pail my cloth pads - I rinse them off with the LS then put them into a jar of water - and wash daily HTH

    I dry pail my cloth pads and have only had a problem with one of them that I made 3 years ago and it was due to poor quality PUL.

    I just remember how 'hot' the nappies seemed when I use to dry pail with the lid on and the smell of it too....

    Bath - one word...Mooncup
    I chuck my MCN's into the washing machine and they get washed with everything else. Didn't notice disintegration with the Peapods with DS (and used them full time), and this time I'm not using any nappy full-time, so they're not getting wet as often. Interesting, will pass this on!

    While we're on the topic, is it ok to just throw them in the wash with everything else? I do a load a night anyway, with minimal washing powder coz ds gets excema, and I've just been dropping them in with everything else. not many stinky ones but- she only does one poo a week at the moment anyway.
