Quick question: As most of you know we use Terry's with either PUL/fleece wraps or pockets, but just of late Oliver's had some quite smelly wee's , I have washed the nappies as usual, have pre rinsed with napisan, washed at 50 with added antibacterial.. but this smell is still there..It seems to be in the wraps more than the Terry's. Does anyone else have this problem? Any idea's? Not sure weather to risk washing the wraps at a higher temp just in case it fooks them.

Any suggestions?

Maybe try a strip wash? Use extra detergent, as high temp as poss and then rinse rinse rinse!

thats cos your child doesn't wee much hehehehe - you try it out on Izzys butt that pees like niagra falls - they dont work quite so well

Izzy pees out her butt???Have you had her checked out

you derwyn! you know what I mean!

lol true she doesn't wee much.

zee i have this problem too, dita doesn't wee much but her wee is meggaaa strong and smelly, and i rinse the nappies, then wash them at 50 with non bio and they still come out smelling of wee, i find there better if they are dried on the line but the weather lately fooks that!!

whats napisan?
x

napisan (I use bio something?) is a sanitiser that goes in the wash

you could try vinegar on the nappies too
it neutralises smells, off topic of nappies, but i had a few incidents of dog peeing bed, vingar on it gets rid of smells

Thanks Ladies, I did a strip wash yesterday..well a pre rinse-wash-rinse and rinse again and then out on the line. It seems to have done the trick, but not sure if its be being a bit obsessive but I can still smell it slightly on the PUL wraps, am thinking its cos these are the oldest of the wraps.

psst !!

julie !! glad u joined the dark side muahaha XX

Lita I have got your booster ready to go

here it is https://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=4944&id=103374916391524&saved#!/photo.php?pid=25550&id=103374916391524&ref=fbx_album

lisa is it you who makes them??

Yeh I do Laura

I had a huge order to finish last night, now I have a very sore blistered thumb from the scissors

oops!! i just spent a small fortune on little lambs nippa nappys

teach him to leave the credit card lying about!!

on the subject of liners...is it normal for them to just sort of push the poo to either side??? the ones we use are shiny on one side and rough on the other, but the bf poo just seems to end up on either side of it (although we have nice clean rectangles in the middle haha)

I think so - they dont grip the poo too well, eps not bf poo

if you have an old fleece blankets you could chop it up and give it a go - the poo sticks to it much better, less likely to escape out the legs and back, in fact i don't think we have had a poo explosion in cloth when using fleece liners

its fleece liners iv ordered. dont fancy the flushables having read a few forums all saying they have accidents occasionally. im not switching alasdair to clothbums, im gonna get him out of nappies after crimbo.

hmm back to those fleece liners maybe i will give them a go but i still have a roll of liners - don't always use them cos they don't seem to do much

lol I still have 2 rolls of the sposie liners too!

We will get you to try a fleecy one ya know then you'll see why we went on and on and on and on pmsl!

hm! well ok, I think it was maybe already posted but where oh where might I get some fleece liners??? (also lisa, I haven't forgotten about the inserts haha I just haven't got as far as finding the measuring tape to measure them to harass you about an order!)

lol no worries I have a sore thumb (aka skinless ) from so much cutting!

If you have a textile shop near yoo that does remnants or even on the roll fleece its MUCH cheaper - like £3.50 for a metre and you will get loads from that plus you can make them the exact size and shape you want - good idea to make a couple test them and see if you want them wider on the bum etc

If you don't want to make your own then ebay has a few - but they only tend to be rectangle or hourglass in bog standard sizes

or maybe these http://www.amazon.co.uk/10-Pack-Fleece-Nappy-Liners/dp/B000Q8UAX8

http://www.babykind.co.uk/boostersandliners.htm#fleeceliners these are a good shape, but at 60-75p each NOT exactly cheap

I think the diy route is probably a good one - do they get fluff on the bum? Maybe if I rinse wash them first that will reduce fluffage....
You should get yourself a special pair of gloves lady! Some nice floral gardening gloves would do the trick
I reckon 60p is a bit much considering we need possibly 30? (vague guess) so will see if the haberdashery near my mama is still open.

Hi Mari, we went with the DIY route too, worked out so much cheaper. Bought a meter length (100x140cm) for about £4 and managed to get a good 25-30 liners.

The fluff doesn't transfer, best to wash them 1st but they work like a charm (and don't budge once in situ, which was our pet-peeve with the disposables)
This is one of mine (I did some hour glass one too but got bored of cutting lol

awwwwwwww the airplanes are adorable! i will have a look online too for some fabric, I always seem to be saying 'oh yeah I'll look later' haha but I really will, I just have a 16 week backlog

also, don't know if this is any use to anyone http://direct.asda.com/Bambino-Miofresh-Nappy-Cleanser/002650237,default,pd.html
