    Melted is a good description.

    I washed it at 40 degrees, which should be well within the range, I believe. It dried yesterday on the line in the sun on a cool day. None of the other nappies in that load have gone strange like that at all. Surely drying in the sun (and there wasn't *that* much sun) wouldn't do this?

    Yes they are new. I bought them on ebay, shipped from the UK, though - which might make it hard to claim on a warranty I have contacted the ebay seller and will see whether and what she replies with...

    Further research suggests to me that the PUL has delaminated, so the plastic part has become unbonded from the fabric. I have no idea whatsoever why this would happen. Does anyone know anything about this?

    Yeah it sounds like it has delaminated.

    YOu would still be covered by warranty, so see what the ebay seller says. Did they give you a receipt of purchase or anything? If they refuse to do anything - contact Nurture Nappies - they are the Australian distributor for Bumg's and will be able to honour the warranty for you.

    HTH.
