    the bumgenius v.2 has a six month warranty
    the bumgenius v.3 has a twelve month warranty

    i've been washing our MCN on a baby cycle in our front loader for 15 months, the baby cycle is 60 degrees and it's a long two hour cycle - hasn't caused problems for the nappies, they're in great condition, but i do separate some nappies using zipper bags.

    contact where you bought the nappies and describe your washing regime. Nine nappies is too many not to at least attempt some resolution to this.

    best of luck

    ps - does your machine have a metal drum? that might make the washing seem hotter than it really is, when you take stuff out.

    don't have any experience with your particular washing machine to offer.

    REREAD your OP and just realised, you said you used a COTTON cycle, but BG are made of SYNTHETIC fabrics? They are PUL outer and suedecloth inner - both synthetic fabrics. The BG inserts are microfibre - also synthetic. Most washing machines have sepearate cycles for Synthetic and Cotton fabrics. I don't often hear people mentioning a Baby Cycle, so my machine must be unusual to have that. but all the baby cycle is, is a pre-wash, slow long wash (water efficient), thorough rinse. I guess other machines must have the same thing, maybe just called some other name.
