  holes in diapers (dots1978)

Hi Ladies,

After about 17 months of washing my son's MEOSs, they are starting to look a bit beat up. I'm noticing small holes around a lot of the seams.

My detergent is Tide free n clear for a high effiency washer. I use maybe a quarter capful of the stuff, and then about every other wash I use a tablespoon or so of vinegar. I do dry nappies in machine on medium heat.

Any suggestions on how to better care for nappies?

Before anything else, I would be curious to know what fabric your diapers are made of! Some people have had problem with premature wear with bamboo diapers. At first glance, your routine doesn't seem off; I don't know your detergent, so I don't know if it's too much or too little, but that should only have an incidence on build-up, not on wear and tear. Drying in the drier is harsher on diapers, but they shouldn't be worn out after 17 months of that I would think!

Have you used any other additive? Bleach, Oxygen bleach, borax, etc.? Have you boiled your diapers or done anything else to them?

ME guarantees their diaper for taking one child from birth to potty-training, so if you haven't done anything weird to them that would void the warranty, you may want to contact them and see if they can do anything about your situation.

How often are you washing your diapers?  I would think if you only have enough and are washing daily that would take a toll on them faster than usual, but they should still last through at least one child!!
