Drying pocket diapers?

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
I have started using my one size pockets I have a few kinds ... bum Genius, hault pockets (snaps) and happy heiny's. I was going to line dry the covers and use the drier on the inserts but as you all know having a newborn is a little more work than I thought and I really don't feel like separating out the covers so I have been drying them in the dryer. Is this a problem? Is it going to be a problem?

It can definitly cause more wear to them and wear out the velcro more. We do always put ours in the dryer (except when we start hanging clothes outside in the summer) but try to pull them out after about 15 minutes. They are usually dry by then and then let everything else continue in the dryer. That way there is less wear on them. I hope this helps.

I always dried my pockets in the dryer. Do it on low heat (eventhough I didnt)
It can seal the PUL for you to minimize leakage, but at the same time it can get the PUL crunchy and cause leaks.

I usually hang my pockets to dry. If I don't feel like going outside and actually hanging them, I'll just toss them over the shower curtain or on the indoor drying rack. If you do them at night, they'll be dry by morning. But if I really need a diaper, I'll toss a couple in the dryer for 15 minutes or so and that's usually all it takes.

I have always put everything in the dryer and have never had a single problem. We used the same set of FuzziBunz on my first two kids, in the dryer every time, and even using bleach occasionally :, and they were fine to use on my third child. (I sold them b/c I wanted tons of pink, but they were fine.)
