I've just put mine through a 60c wash by mistake as well. They look fine.

Thanks, I'm trying to get lansinoh/kamillosan off them and it hasn't come off at 40

The lace is nylon so if you keep on doing them on hot they'll end up a bit less white, but should be ok otherwise.

60deg.... mine always went in with the nappies at 60 and are fine

Let me know if you manage - I had Boots washable pads that kind of waterproofed themselves with Lansinoh

I emailed Avent who said the max temp was 40
I think I will try hotter anyway

I also emailed the lansinoh & kamillosan people

Kamillosan came back with this:
"Thank you for your email and feedback. We would like to inform you that Kamillosan has a paraffin base. We request you to kindly try a product available in the market which is suitable for the breast pad material and a paraffin base."

I have no idea what they mean??

I've just found this on the Lansinoh site. I have to say I tried the washing up liquid tip and it didn't work for me though.

I have presoaked them and applied vanish - it seems to have shifted it
