 Topic: why do you strip??
Posted: 11 July 2008 at 5:27pm |

I have been wondering why you need to strip nappies as I have never had to do this. I am told it is because my nappies are all cotton so don't have a soap build up.
Why do you strip your nappies? Do you get soap build up because of the washig powder you use? or because they are made from synthetic materials?

I've only stripped them once and it was because they were smelling a bit swampy even after washing.
I'm not sure if it was caused by soap build up or if Benjy had particularly pungent wees but stripping did the trick.

I've only stripped mine because I left a couple in a nappy bucket and forgot about them for about a week or so (I don't actually know how long they were in there cause mine usually go straight in the machine)

It probably because of the material they are made out of, hemp and bamboo in particular hold alot of wee compared to normal cotton nappies and so can eventually smell. Thats my guessing anyhow.

I've stripped for a couple of reasons - once when they started to smell quite badly of amonia, twice when Leo had bacterial infections (to make sure there wasn't any bacteria lurking in his nappies) and I always strip nappies before I sell them on to make sure they're in the best possible condition for their new owners.

So you don't necessarily have to strip nappies because they are synthetic?

No, I wouldn't think so.
All the advice I've seen around stripping is as a solution to leaks from soap powder build-up or odours.

It wasn't till after I posted that I re-read the title and realised that it was a little ... suggestive!!
