How are you washing your diapers? Do you have hard water?

Sounds like you may need to strip your diapers.

I rinse cold, wash warm with Tide, and rinse cold again. I do have hard water and use Borax in the wash with the Tide....any suggestions?

The detergent may be building up on your dipes causing them to repel. I looked up Tide here (http://www.diaperjungle.com/detergent-chart.html) and it's only got 1 star for cloth diapers. I would switch detergents and strip your diapers. I was looking into stripping my cloth diapers last week and here are some really good sites (http://www.zany-zebra.com/stripping-cloth-diapers.shtml) & (http://www.theclothdiaperwhisperer.c...hat-smell.html)

I had had some OS FuzziBunz that leaked due to poor fit and I stopped CDing for a few months. I sold that set and bought several different kinds that we're currently trying out. I know how frustrating it can be! I hope this helps.
