How to prevent stains on my BG?

[Croc-O-Dile]

I noticed today that my two BumGenius diapers had stained even though I sprayed them and washed them the very next day. I started using a wet pail today with baking soda to help prevent the stains from setting and it worked on my other ones great! But my BGs are still stained.
Obviously I line dry them, since it says you can't tumble dry BGs. And it's been really hot and sunny lately, so I thought maybe the sun would help take the stains out. But nope.

I don't know if it's just weird coincidence that the only two that have stained are both BumGenius or if maybe they just stain easy.
Anybody else had this problem? Or have a solution?

You don't want to wet pail BGs (unless you mean their fitteds?) because of the PUL...letting them sit in water like that isn't good. You can tumble dry though, I only do that with mine and never had any issues. I've had mine seem to stain but then with more washing it almost always lightens/disappears, maybe it will fade with time?

Oh, I didn't know that! Thanks for the heads up. They're the BG 3.0 OS, and I have to say, I haven't had a problem with them taking forever to dry or leaking, which were two complaints I'd heard a lot. The only problem is the stains. I mean, they're not on the outside at all, but still. I know they're there, which is enough to bug me.

Hopefully you're right and they'll just fade with washing.

Do you use fleece liners? I use them in all of my nappies to catch most of the poo and prevent stains! And if poo does get on them, I scrub them straight away with cold water and a Vanish bar before I dry pail them and touch wood so far, no stains.

I love my BGs, too, but wish they weren't white inside!!!


Congrats on Olivia, she's just beautiful, I saw her pic in the other thread xx
