    Green Kids inserts gone stiff?

    The bamboo inserts for my Green Kids nappies have gone quite stiff, is this normal? Is there anything I can do to soften them up again (line dry don't have drier). I have a couple of Hemp inserts which are also a bit stiff. My little girl has a brace on for her hips at the moment and the stiffness is making it more difficult to feed the nappies through the brace at the back, and the GK are pretty bulky anyway.

    It can get quite stiff! I find a good scrunching with the hands will help to soften it up quite a bit.

    Thanks for that Raven - I never thought of that, scrunched up a load today and they do seem much softer - so simple!

    Mine never go stiff, but that could be cos I dry them in the shade and not the sun most of the time?

    I find with the hemp that a really good snap and flick works well but my bamboo are still quite soft so I'm not sure why yours are stiff . I wonder if the machine spin is too fast? Keep hand scrunching I think!

    My bamboo are alot softer than the hemp. Drying on the line definetely makes a difference. I usually put mine in the dryer.
    I do the flick thing too. Works ok.
