Can't remember what to do to soften up my nappies

[TrinityRhino]

I have been drying them on the radiator, was that wrong, they aren't as soft at all as when I got them

I do have a tumble dryer, is that the answer?

cough cough

I would suggest tumbling them for a short while - but not until dry as it wears them out v quickly then air dry off. I take it you live in a hard water area? I've found one of those magnetic ball water softeners in my washing machine has helped too.

I dry mine on the line (not often ATM!) or airer and then blast them for 10mins in tumble dryer.

yes, hard water here, lots of limescale

what nappies do you have? I trashed my terry bumbles by tumbling them, it also wore out my MotherEAse ones quicker too so def tumble first then air dry to protect nappies. I have the ability to select how dry/wet to tumble to, they still feel wet when I take them out but once dry they are much much softer than air drying alone IYSWIM

Put white vinegar in the fabric conditioner part of your washing maschine makes them nice and soft

oh poop ....white vinegar....that was the thing I couldn't remenber that I wanted when I was standing in the shop grrrrrrr
