yes pls...what sizes are they? Ive seen some similar elsewhere on web but they are 20x20 too big for my box

Ive pm'd you hun x

Woah 20x20 is huge! Mine are 8x8 so they fit perfectly folded in half in any wipe container or even those little plastic ones for the diaper bag. I will contact her now and find out for you

What detergents do you ladies use for your cloth diapers? We use Win Green, which is so far the closest thing I can find that works. Where I bought them sells Nellies Soap Flakes, but our water is super hard and it doesn't clean them.

Any suggestions?

I mostly use All Free and Clear..I've tried a few different things. Here is a great site you can look at, I don't know what they carry where you are so maybe you will recognize some

I will have to take a look for All Free and Clear perhaps... I don't see mine listed!

 

[mommyof3co]

yeah that's a US site so I wasn't sure if they would have the same. Purex Free and Clear is another good one if yall have that

I've seen Tide Free, but I don't think it's a 'good' one, so to speak. I might try the Nellie's Soap again now that we have Calgon to combat our hard water.

I might look around at some different diapers today too... I'm in a mood to buy some I think!

We use Ecover. There aren't really any other eco-friendly detergents available here, even though it doesn't rate highly for nappies we haven't had any problems so far.

 

[mommyof3co]

Yeah I don't like Tide free...it made everything smell like a lake, yuck. Ecover detergent actually isn't good, but their fabric softener is the only one ok to use with cloth but nothing with PUL on it

 

[Shifter]

Like I said, we haven't had a problem with Ecover and I read somewhere that it's one of only a few detergents you can use with nappies that you don't need to use half measures of. Can't for the life of me remember where I read that though

You can also use pins but I much prefer a snappi...so much easier to get a good fit.
