To do with americans and used underwear

how pathetic is that??!!!!!!????????? I cant believe they are stopping what is obviously a useful working outlet.

Sun bleaching is the best ? put them on the line in sunny weather and stains disappear. I swear! It?s great!!!

I?ve even put them indoors on the window sill when it?s been rainy, and the stains have still gone!

Don?t fuss with chemicals etc. Good ole sunshine, even in Blighty!

Mind you, not much outdoor line drying at the mo? ? looking forward to summer just to see my nice line of well order nappies blowing in the breeze on a sunny day. OMG I?m so sad!

i don't let dd eat too much tomato based food LOL.

seriously, i soak in the pail with nappisan, wash @ 60 degrees with Fairy and extra NS.

that's it.

deffo the sun is the best and I also, strangely, heard that a frost can help so leave 'em out overnight!

but did i read somewhere that the bamboo nappies shouldn´t be washed higher than 40 or have I just made that up?

Bamboo can be washed at 60 perfectly safely. It can be washed up to 72 degrees safely - over that and it trashes the fibres.

I don't like napisan - too strong and it ruins wraps.

Emma

okay, thanks!

Oh NO!!!!
How am I going to sell all my Bamboozles now? GUtted.

It does seem completely rediculous

Jilly - I have always found I got more for my nappies on the nappylady classifieds bit anyway

makesachange - what d'you use instead of nappisan?

PHP (Perfectly Happy People) Nappy Soak from Mothercare is an alternative to Napisan - it is a bit more enviro friendly..phosphate free and all that. It works for us anyway!

I think it must be the tomatoes that are our problem - they are his fave!

i'll check that out, thanks.

dd isn't keen on tomatoes but she'll eat them in cooking iyswim.

spag bol is a fave but she hasn't had it since i put her back in cloth.

watch this space............

Paddlechick - DD had a few poos that just didn't shift no matter what I tried... I think that some children make it differently!!!

UPDATE

OOOOOOH, NEWS!

A member of another forum has copied a post from an american forum they use - this is the communication from ebay:

Quote:
Thank you for taking the time to write eBay with your concerns. I'm happy to help you further.

"We will allow the sale of used cloth baby diapers on the site. The only items that we will end are adult used diapers and items that are marketed in a sexual manner or that contain sexual innuendo.
Thank you for your time.
Regards,

Along with this:

Quote:
I am sorry for the confusion. If some legitimate diaper auctions were removed we apologize. Our policy is that used cloth baby diapers are allowed to be listed. The only items that we remove are used adult diapers and any auction that has a sexual innuendo or is marketed in a sexual fashion. I hope that this clears up the misconception.

Thank you for your time.

Phew! That adult baby thing always makes me cringe!

Phew. Thanks flame.

excellent as it should be

Paddlechick666 - If I soak (which I rarely do) I use a few drops of tea tree and lavender.

I sometimes use the Cotton Bottoms nappy bright stuff in the wash, but PHP is pretty much the same.

I just don't worry too much about stains - the nappy is clean and fresh so that's enough for me. It's a bit like why bleach a sposie... "white" does not always mean "clean".

But I understand people wanting bright white nappies as well... just as long as they understand they're reducing the nappy life.

Emma

notflame - just had an email from ebay (UK) saying that we CANNOT list nappies...

I have emailed back with your quote and asked them to get their decision sorted out once and for all... not much point in us having to offer used cloth only on Ebay US.

Mind you, like I've said before, I'm not an ebay fan, and I'm trying a few things on Tazbar. Nappy Lady, as mentioned, is of course a good option too.

But - what the bloomin heck are ebay talking about - nappies - "a sexual nature" MY GODS are these people STUPID??? or just childless...

Frankly, and yes, TMI, the only thing sexual about babies, having babies, post baby and nappies is what you did to get them, IME. How people have more than one I'll never know

I've just heard someone else say that on another forum too - Ebay don't seem to know what they are doing.

Someone on the ebay forum said something like "Feel free to fight to list nappies if you want to encourage paedophiles"

I mean wtf?!?! Yes, because listing nappies encourages them... they wouldn't feel like weird perverts without the listings

Thanks for the updates on the ebay situation....I got a bit side tracked by my poo-stain problems for a while there (lol).

Hope they clarify soon - I'm expecting LO no.2 in Aug and have already started on my mad maternal nappy purchasing in preparation

I had a brief look at the ebay forum yest - I had to stop reading it..some people have very strange ideas!!!

I mean, if you ARE such a perv surely there's not much difference between a nappy, and baby towels, bedding and clothes etc???

And as for the people who think it is disgustingly outrageous to put your baby in someone elses worn nappies........

how can bloody nappies be considered sexual??? they sh*t in them for gods sake!

erm, stacey i think that's the attraction, for the adult ones anyway!

eeeeeeeeewwwwww are there really people that sick out there? sh*t isnt remotly sexual is it?
