Let us know how they come up.

It's very naughty and shortens the nappy life but I often put mine through on 60 (whatever the make) as I find 40 can leave some stains.

Here's wishing you clean washing!

Right well first wash done. One of the bamboozles apears to have some staining to it inside, so I may have to try washing at 60 next time. The fluffles came out the machine feeling dry and still lovely and soft.
I have rigged up my old airing cuboard with the combi boiler in to make a nappy drying cuboard and will look at putting in some sort of heater for when the central heating isnt on and its raining outside.

Looking good!

I knew you'd like the Bamboozles, I'm a sucker for anything in Bamboo, it feels so lovely! Here's hoping they dry quick enough for you

If one of Seren's gets stained I find bright sunl;ight is ace for bleacing them out. I know at this time of year that can be a problem but it is the best thing ever. I nearly always wash my nappies at 40 degrees, even those that say wash at 60 degrees.

Well its the following morning, and the drying is as follows:
The fluffles were completly dry within 1-2 hours of hanging to dry!
The terry and bamboo nappies have both taken much the same amount of time to dry, although one of the bamoozles which was the furthest from the boiler is still not dry and I think it will be a while before it is.

This is making decision making a lot harder for me. I think I will get a little oil radiator in the next day or two ready for the next wash and see what difference it makes. Because the drying process slows down over night because the radiators are off, so the boiler is cold.

I am really enjoying reading your diary. It is seriously tempting me to give cloth a go. I am just worried about drying! Can these all go in a tumble drier?

such a god idea to do this thread. its helping me loads and fun to read

Glad your enjoying reading!

In answer to your question Lynnie, yes you can tumble dry the nappies, but if you were to opt for the fluffles you would find that they air dry within a couple of ours on just indoor airers!

I have made my decision I feel and I love the fluffles they are very fast drying and soft and easy to use Ireally cant fault them. Plus Minxy sent me a link to a site that is doing them with a 10% discount for the month of Feb.

Ihave also been having great fun finding custom designs for wraps which the lovely lady at weenotions is making for me.

Perhaps these cute cloth bum pics of Noah yesterday will help convince you further!

he looks soooo cool!!!!

if the drying time was not an issue which would be the best so far?

Well it would e a toss up between the bamboozles and the fluffles. The bamboozles are avaliable in colours, so can be washed with coloured stuff and show up stains less, and are a bit slimmer and more sustainable for the environment. But the colour nappies are applix only so cannot be used from birth.

Although I dont think the microfibre on fluffles can stain, they have a built in fleece liner, they are cheaper, they can popper so can be folded to use from birth, and have a pocket for night time stuffing. also cheaper as they do not need to use the power of tumble drying, will never go hard if your in a hard water area.

I just find both fit really well, feel really nice, perform brilliantly and Ireally cant fault them.
