  OS diapers seem to be thinning. (Fire Dancer)
Posted: 10:32:52 pm on 3/20/2010 Modified: Never
 
so anyway, i received a small sandy's from a friend. i felt the diaper where the absorbant pannel  was not present and it seemed to be nice and thick. i feel my OS's however in the same locations, and they seem to be thinning out. my mom used bleach on them only once because she did not know any better and i used only a miniscule amount because of bad stains.  this was probably 3 or so months ago. i used oxygen based addative sometimes as well, i did not realise not to at that time, but do not use it any more.  i finally found the instructions on this website and now wash and dry carefully according to them.   i have had these dipes since august. why do these seem to be thinning out a bit prematurely?  any suggestions to stop the premature wear?  i live in an apartment and do not have access to a clothes line to dry them.  i have the regular cotton, bamboo, as well as the sd dipes.

Diapers will get thinner over time, even with the gentlest of treatment, and it's possible that past treatment has caused premature wear on your diapers.  I would guess, however, that what you're feeling is mostly due to the Sandys and OS being different diapers.  I have both Sandys and OS of the same age and always think that the Sandys feel a bit thicker.

I agree. The Sandy's does have at least one or two extra layers than the One-Size and I suspect at least one or more of those layers is in the entire body of the diaper (ie not just the center soaker panel). The cotton ME diapers are indestructible imo so I wouldn't be overly concerned over the occasional past use of bleach or oxy-cleaners.

thanks so much you guys. question... does the same hold true for the sd ones as well? i have noticed that those feel alot thicker than the reg cotton.  also, will the thinning of these dipes effect their performance on our future child?
