 Topic: Bamboo nappies, creams and washing...
Posted: 18 November 2010 at 10:46pm |

Hi there,
Just wanted some clarification...have tried to do a search but not able to find the info I need.
I'm using a bamboo fitted nappy with a microfleece liner.
If I use a barrier cream, such as Sudocrem, do I need to wash the liners separately from the nappies or can they all go in together?
Also, can I use Curash powder with the liner (or without) and it won't leave a residue?
Any other recommendations? I'd like to use a preventative if possible as I have a heavy wetter and long sleeper - perfect conditions for nappy rash!
What is the recommended way to strip a bamboo nappy if necessary?
For general washing I currently do a cold rinse, then a cold/warm wash with 2 cold rinses, then line dried. I use persil sensitive liquid and a canestan rinse as we've recently had thrush.
TIA

I personally avoid using creams with my microfleece liners, but you might be fine just washing them separately. Definitely wouldn't wash them with the nappies though. I use a flushable liner if I need to use cream.
I used to use Curash powder with my cloth nappies, and never had any problems, but I have heard from others that they've had buildup issues with it, so I think the jury's still out on that one.

Different brand, but I have found this table quite a useful guide for what creams are ok use. The washing powder guide is quite good too. :-)

Ahh that's a great list thanks Sally  good thing I use a liner when I put Aqueous Cream on DD's bum (first thing in the morning and after a poo). We use Curash powder the rest of the time, so good to see that's fine to use with cloth nappies (we haven't had any build up problems with it)

LostAmber, down the bottom of this page, it says you can use napisan, baby care range. See under "the bucket method."
