Hi clothie mums,
After seeing all your enthusiastic comments about the Pop-In Dream Dri I bought one and thanks, it's fantastic! Use for nights with booster and not a leak to be seen. My only problem is that it doesn't seem to wash up well. I have been washing with my Fuzzi Bunz (stored in dry pail then washed with cold rinse followed by hot wash with ecostore liquid). My FB seem fine with this system but the DDri comes back with some poo still in the side seams!! I probably sound lazy but I really don't want to have to have to resort to nappy scrubbing. Have any other DDri fans had this problem? Should I soak immediately? Would love your advice! |

Hmm I haven't had that problem, however, they don't seem to be that great at soaking up the pee for my heavy wetter even with boosters. After all the good feedback I was so hoping I could use them as my night nappy :(,
Maybe soaking immediately and giving it a bit of a swish round in the water, (maybe use an old dish-scrub-with-handle thingie) and that may help. ------------- Kiara is 3 and Teagan is 2, now we're expecting our long awaited 3rd! http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Kalimirella, do you use a night booster as well? I find them fantastic for both my boys overnight, never had a leak - this is with using the night booster and usual booster though.
Sorry no ideas about the washing thing, as we've never had a poo in one... I know the scrubbing thing is nasty, could you take it out after the rinse in the machine and just scrub around the stitching then? I use rubber gloves and an old kitchen dish brush... it shouldn't be so bad once most of the poo is rinsed off. ------------- Mama to DS1 (5 years), DS2 (3 years) and... http://alterna-tickers.com" rel="nofollow">

I don't scrub nappies, but I do rinse pooey ones out under the hot tap in the laundry before they get dry-pailed. This gets all the excess off and they come out of the wash clean (I do rinse, then cold wash then spin - only do a hot wash once every few months when I remember). We only have one pop in dream dri, but DD does often poo in it in the morning and we haven't had any problems with the poo remaining in it! ------------- DD 4yrs DS 2yrs http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Just to add I find that all my nappies seem to do this. Ie the poo stays in the stitching.
So in my bum genius, fuzzi bunz, bummis wraps, pop in and ecobubs. I've thought about scrubing them, but can't be bothered. I've tried rinsing them under the tap,but again it still stays in there. The sun works, but haha don't see any of that at the moment. ------------- http://alterna-tickers.com">

| thanks everyone. Arohanui, I've taken your advice and started giving them a little scrub between rinse and wash and that seems to do the trick. Cheers |
