New mom. Tried these and planning to get a stack. Anybody who is using it for a long time, are there any leakage issues? How u wash n dry? Thanks

I've been using these for 4 months with no leaks. I love that I can fold the front soaker for extra absorption for my baby boy. They are my go to diaper for nights and outings. As far as washing, in my high efficiency washer I do the "rinse and spin" cycle, then I do the "sanitary" setting with an "extra rinse". I hang these to dry (cause I love them so much)!

Been using these for over 3 months (since birth). No leaks - only time it has it's because I didn't get the leg fit right and laid her on her side. That's been fixed since we found the perfect setting. I wash about 10 diapers at a time, plus about 20 washcloths we use as wipes, and the wetbag we use. All on a cold wash/rinse. Once every month or so a hot wash/cold rinse. They work very well if you hang them in the sun - stains bleach out and dry quickly. These also dry very quickly in the dryer.

I have one that I use as a night time diaper only. No leakage issues at all. They do need to be stripped regularly though. They micro terry on the inside of the soaker flaps gets stinky quickly. As far as a regular wash cycle I just cold rinse hot wash and cold rinse

Haven't been using them that long with my 20 month old but I've never had leakage issues. They are one of my favorite. Prewash wash hot, 2x rinse and dry on low. They dry super fast.

I rinse all my cloth diapers in cold water then I wash in hot. Sometimes you can do another rinse in cold after the wash. I use these diapers for overnight use. My daughter goes 11-12 hours and I might have had 1 or 2 leaks in 6.5 months. I really love these diapers. My only con is the price.

I haven't used them for super long, but the past few months have been fine and we haven't had any leaks at all. I love this brand and have been super pleased with other versions of their AIO as well. We wash every two days- cold rinse no soap, hot cycle with half detergent and booster, extra rinse. I just dry in dryer but I know I should try line drying more. They dry really quickly, super nice.

Sorry, but I haven't tried. I always wash them by hand, which I feel is far better when dealing with smaller items. Based on the apparent quality, it should be OK, but this is speculation.

I actually remade my batch of deodorant because I wanted to add more essential oils. I re melted and repoured in the tubes. If you are only using them for yourself I see no reason not to reuse them after hand washing.

They are incredibly absorbent. I use(d) them mostly while nursing and there wasn't anything they couldn't sop up. The only thing that I've found to be better are homemade ones with flannel, chenille and a layer of natural batting in between.

So far, I am using seventh generation free and clear detergent because I got a great deal on them.. I am planning to use my home made one (borax, washing soda-baking soda and vegetable based bar soap) on them from now on (she is six months) i dis it once a month ago and it seemed fine. I will update this when I do. :)

I have to say that I have never had an issue with these pods. I love the product and have used them since they came out on the market. Also I just throw the pod on top of the clothes and start the washer and go,

What a great idea!!! They were very clean when I got them -- but I do recommend just wiping them out with a micro-fiber cloth (switching out for another clean one often) to make sure any dust is out. Then they won't be wet when you put the M&Ms; in.

Some people boil them before first use, i don't believe i did. To clean them i first shake off any solids, then rinse them in the toilet, tub, sink or hose them off. Machine wash with regular baby detergent (some use special diaper detergents but i choose not to for flats, the special detergents are more often used for stuffed diapers). Every couple weeks i machine wash and then hand wash with dish soap, the dish soap helps break down any build up of baby powder or rash ointment in the fibers. Really these diapers are great and low maintenance cleaning wise.

I have 24 and a newborn. He goes through them really quickly. We tried to wash every other day, but we were diaperless, waiting for the clean ones to be done in the dryer. That's too close for comfort for me. I plan to pick up at least another half dozen for a total of 30. Even if he starts going less frequently as he gets older, it'll be worth it to know we won't run out on laundry day.

I wash mine on the "hand wash" setting of my machine but if you don't have that I would wash on "delicate". I line dry mine - you would be surprised how fast they dry! Maybe 2 or 3 hours?? Hope that helps!

No, I always wash and hang dry. Even wash in sink and hang dry if working in camp. The first time my co worker threw the set in the dryer for me I was like noooooo. But they didn't shrink and have been in a dryer a few other times. Like I said hang dry is good practice. Product lasts longer.

I've been using mine for quite sometime with no leaks at all. I love this set. They are holding up very well, even with dishwasher cleaning. Would definitely buy again.

I wash mine in a lingerie bag with my dark colors and line dry. I also hang them to dry each time I use unless it's time to wash.

I wash them without any trouble at all. I have a couple sets that I swap out while one is drying, so far so good.

I have used them in both the washer and drier. Be aware though if the garment is thin and wrinkles you will dry wrinkles into the garment. If the clothing is a small item like socks or a larger item like a wool sweater that won't wrinkle it should dry fine. With larger items I would make sure to adjust the item a few times so that the middle doesn't stay damp. I am not the manufacture or a clothing specialist but what I'd like to think of is a professional house wife/mom.

You put them over the prefold cotton cloth diaper to keep the moisture from leeching onto your baby's clothing. If you don't have some sort of barrier, you will just have a wet baby! These are great because they are reusable and easy to wash. They don't last forever though, so don't be suprised if you end up needing to buy more after a few months. This brand is a little more durable so far than the store brand at Babies R Us though so we'll see!

We've never had an issue w/that? We use the soap mix up too fast to see any of that. I once had a leaky container for the soap mix. It leaked a lot, but again, that was never an problem for us. But if it happen's, I'd wash out really well, and try using it again, or try a different type.
