Pop-In Dream-Dri ... isn't?!

[LeggyBlondeNE]

I liked the original pop-in but wanted something that was going to be dry against her skin, so bought a set of the Dream-Dri version.

However, while they certainly dry wonderfully quikly after washing, they're not at all dry against her skin. I assumed the webbing layer was to keep her dry but it seems as wet as the fleece underneath.

Anyone else found this? Was I misinterpreting what the dryness was meant to be?!

(In contrast the Flip stay-dry has been great so thinking I'll get the rest of my nappies from them.)

p.s. sorry, probably unclear, but having bought five of the damn things I@m hoping to find a way of making them work anyway if anyone has advice!

I think the dream-dri refers to the speed they dry after washing. Tbh I found them the same for wetness against skin as the towling ones. It's not the wetness that causes rash but the urea against the skin and I haven't found that either are worse for nappy rash than disposables. The dream-dri are less absorbent than the towl kind tho.

Yeah dream dri is because they dry quickly. They are microfibre I think aren't they? I had microfibre nappies at first and I found they do feel very soggy once wet. Plus once they get very wet they squeeze out easily so I found lots of leaking with a small baby who is likely to be sitting/laying on them lots. A fleece liner stays dry against the skin though and you can shove one of those in anything. It is the toss up between drying quickly and changing nappy more often.

I have a bamboo pop-in if you wanted to borrow it to compare and a pile of tots bots fluffles (shaped 2 part nappy made of microfibre, they are very good really, a good wrap over them solves leaking problems).

I do have a bamboo one, having bought one of those to try first. It took about 36 horus to dry indoors though, so I was ambivalent about it!

Am thinking that cutting up my scraps of fleece from an old project may be the best bet here. I've been using paper ones but despite promises on the box they aren't keeping her dry either and seem to be only good for containing poo.

Fleece is the way forwards, paper liners are rubbish.

But the poo, the poo!

with bf poo just hold the line in the loo and flush, doesn't matter too much if you don't get it all off. Weaning poo takes a bit more scrubbing but you'll be immune to it by then

I've tried flushing the soakers in the loo like that when I've forgotten a liner in just the wrog nappy, but I think T's poo is rather sticky. Probably the daily dose of formula top-up or something!

OTOH, my washing machine does seem capable od dealing with it.
