how often do you do diaper laundry? - Page 2

[abbyskeeper]

I wash whenever the pail is full, which is usually every other day. I can't handle the stink if they sit any longer!

[SaraMama]

I used to *have* to wash every day when I had 2 in diapers just to keep up with it...

Now that only Colton is in diapers, I usually wash every other day. Sometimes I'll wash every day if he is having a particularly *stinky* day!

I do feel like that the longer I let them sit, the harder it is for me to get the smell out...

lol, marinade.

ITA!

Depends on the week. Usually twice a week. Sometimes daily if I miss my private time with my......ummmm Angelo's......diapers.

[mom2mygirls]

I wash every other day but thinking about washing every day now

Oh, I didn't mean that they're washed frequently, I meant that they're washed ASAP. When they're clean, they go to the back of the diaper drawers. :LOL We work a vigorous rotation around here to prevent wear and tear. If we didn't wash, we'd have enough diapers to last about a month

[amysuen]

I do them every other day, unless we're busy on the weekend, then they'll wait until Monday, so that would be 3 days. I'd like to wash every day, but I just don't have time.

[witchbaby]

every third day, 'cause that's when i run out! :LOL well, almost. i usually have about 5 or 6 prefolds, but all my fitteds are dirty.
i'm hoping to stay at at least every 2 days once the newbie comes along, 'cause i just can't do laundry that much. it's against my religion.

[todzwife]

I could go more than a week, but I wash every other day because the dipes get RIPE after that long pEEEEEyoooo!

[Undercover Hippie]

We wash every 2-3 days. 2 days is ideal for us but over the weekend we might go 3. If we used every diaper we have I think we could go 4 or 5 days, but things are just getting too stinky by day 3. Those nighttime pee diapers...

I was wednesday night, Friday night, sunday night. so i guess 2day then a 3 day run in there too. I can go up to 5 days thou. I have enought diapers.

[lrmama]

I try to wash every other day, unless the weather is supposed to be lousy. Then I'll work around the sun so I can hang outside. At most I try to go 3 days, because any more than that and I have to do two loads. I can't stand the thought of dipes not agitating enough (but I'll cram every piece of dirty clothing in the house into one load!) Diaper obsession at work, I guess.

[daysofelijah]

I should do it every other day, but I usually end up doing two big loads every third day.

[spatulagirl]

I wash every other day. I don't like to go any longer. But I like having a large enough stash so that each diaper is only washed once a week. I cycle through them and switch them around so I don't use any more than the others.

Me, too! Sometimes evry day if I feel like petting the fluff and it doesn't get in the way of reg. laundry!

[blessed2bamommie]

OK I totally wanted to ask this too! I was noticing what I had left and I didn't wash yesterday. I like to keep the laundry days to 2/wk. I was wondering if this was feasible. My apt washer is also hard on dipes. Soooooooooo how big a stash do I need for a 6 mo who is still ebf b/c her mama may be in denial. Well last observation she only wanred to play, not eat the solid.

eta:: I'mout of dipes now and I'm trying to wash; but, I have a meeting tonight.

[CDS]

good question.. we're going every 3 days between washing, sometime 2 days when I need more AIOs for a outing trip on next day or so so

[Momto2boysNagirl]

I wash every other day sometimes every two days, but with two in dipes the pail fills up pretty quickly.

[Marinerbaby]

I usually do wash every 3rd day which is when Shane poops. :LOL
