TBH I normally just chuck the nappies in with whatever else needs washed at 40 as I do at least a load a day. Anything 'dirty' now just flicks into the loo.

When I do a nappy wash, I set the machine to 60 and once it has filled up and sloshed around a bit with the detergent I turn it off then leave the nappies to soak a while before putting it back on to finish the cycle.

P.S. I know i am probably stating the obvious but.. you do know that "white" vinegar is actually a clear colour and called distilled vinegar often.

u not stating the obvious as even tho i have a degree i am clueless! i looked in tesco & saw clear distilled malt vinegar - it was the word malt that put me off. is this the stuff or is there something different just called distilled vinegar?
sorry to be thick!

ds1 will have grown out of his current Sam I am nappies before long. we were given these by a friend but she has none in bigger sizes to pass on unfortunately! as i don't know much about the different types i am after advice on where to get the cheapest ones. i can't afford the prices i have seen for new ones all at once! even 2nd hand on ebay seem to be a lot. have put a wanted ad on freecycle but if i don't get any replies does anyone know where to get cheap ones from?
thanks for any help.

if it is clear (like water) called distilled (or even distilled malt) on the supermarket shelf near other vinegars then buy it. As long as it is not brown then it'll be the stuff you want.

use terry nappies just as good and will last for years easy to wash and dry. You can use nappy nippas instead of pins and any wraps.

Terries ar ethe cheapest & can be folded diffrently as required to fit a growing babe. About £12 for 6 in mothercare but you can get them cheaper if you hunt around online. You'll need wraps or plastic pants to go with them.
Personally I prefer all-in-ones & buy Boots versions of Kooshies, £7 each full price but I often find them on the reduced shelves for half that!

So my little one is now going swimming and we used the sample packs of Huggies Swimmers. Inside there is supposed to be a coupon for money off, but we bought our nappies in feb, opened them in march and the coupons expired dec 05!!

Wrote back to huggies saying how disappointed i was as i wanted to buy more little swimmers with the promised coupons but couldnt. returned the expired coupons to them, and they sent me £2 off Huggies/andrex/kleenex etc.

:T brill customer service!

excellent :-) there are swimmers samples out there with up to date coupons in too, probably cheaper than buying a whole pack lol! i used a mothercare washable and put a sample swimmers in the bag in case of accidents, so he could go back into the water if he wanted to. i was really impressed with the huggies swimmers.
