Yup they can be tumbled - its meant to shorten their lifespan, but mine are still going strong... I guess its really a case of em lasting for 2 babies rather than 4 or something.

I did them on high (I think), but don't remember how long (its been a while).

Hi, I just wanted to draw your attention to the fact that tumbling will definately knacker the elastic on tots. We are talking leaky legholes.
The elastic in tots isn't the best in the first place, I have replaced the elastic in mine and also in a friend's nappies, and they are now fine again, but they were completely flat.
You can get them reelasticated by tots bots for about £3, but I was told that they cut into the nappy and it isn't as nice after.
A good compromise is to tumble for about 15 minutes after washing then line or clothes horse dry.
Plus there are environmental benefits of not tumbling of course. (halo)
