girls, i had to try the drier technique becoz they are supposed to be shiny inside- so i went to a laundromat and chucked em in a commercial drier for 10 mins-
what do you suppose happened? all the pul melted together and stuck- especially on the red. seperating the squished up outer layer caused the laminate to come away from the underlying material, it sure isn't waterproof now! the red one totally bit the bullet, the others were able to be unwrinkled with less disasterous consequences, but they still aren't shiny so i doubt it's helped any... will try em out and let you know.
i hated the red pea pods and the dark green ones ...i bought mine about 18months ago and found the same problem ..
but the newer version (bamboo) are fab , i have the lighter coulors like the light blue and light green and the brown , and so far no problems .. and he can go for a nap in them and be totally dry to touch on the outside and on the skin ..
apart from the 2 coulors i never really had much of a problem with them , i am about to sell them as ds is waaaaay to chunky for them now and they are hardly used
congrats Charmalea on your baby girl! what a gorgeous name too. i want a girl so i can give her a pretty name. i only have boys, but would love another.
i found a way to keep using the nappies, although the waterproofing is compromised. i put a piece of fleece between the booster and the pul. so far so good. so simple a solution, i cant believe i didn't think of it before.
nah don't feel bad, i just laughed and got creative. i'm nothing if not resourceful. and the sense of satisfaction having outwitted the nappy gods, i'm feeling good. similarly, i successfully turned some of my favourite covers into pockets, and feel smug every time i use them.
