  bamboo users? (chap)
Posted: 12:41:01 am on 6/7/2009 Modified: Never
 
My MEOS stash is all cotton.  When my second one arrives, I would like to add some bamboo to my stash.  

How do they compare?  Is bamboo as easy to care for as the cotton?  Is there a ton of prewashing  required?

Thanks

I love bamboo, they are soooooo soft and not as bulky as the cotton. I have the OS and Sandy's.  I wash them the same as I do the cotton, but they take longer to dry (the Sandy's take even longer than the OS).  It seems to me that they don't hold in urine smells like cotton sometimes does. I have noticed that stains don't come out as easily even when they are hung in the sun (they will come out it just takes longer).  I have heard that some people are having a issue with the longevity of them, my DS just turned 1 year and they are still holding up nicely, of course; I do have a large amount of diapers to rotate.  You could alway get the 'introductory offer' and try one.

I bought bamboo and I love how soft and trim they are.  I can't compare to cotton since I haven't used cotton although I did buy a couple AIO's which must be cotton and he seems to cry out sooner when he's wearing those vs. the bamboo MEOS.  He cries when he is wet and needs a diaper change.  They do take awhile to dry.  I wash at night and hang dry and they are dry by the next evening in the house - probably sooner if you could hang dry in nice weather outside.

I love the bamboo!!! I started my litle one with bamboo and tried a different style when she outgrew the xs sandys. I think that lasted for about a month. I just sent my order for a set of the small sandys bamboo. They are so much thinner and softer than the cotton. I also find that they don't retain any smell and don't stain as easily.
