Have ruined my nappies and wraps. Has anyone tried Bambino Mio Lite wraps?

Some of my fuzzis and nappy wraps have started leaking. Not just normal wicking but actually leaking through the fabric. I couldn't understand why until I looked closer at the laundry labels and discovered I have been confusing fahrenheit and centigrade and as a result have been washing them on 60 when they should only have been done at 35. I am guessing that over time this has weakened the PUL so they are now leaking. I can't believe I have been so stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway the result is I need some cheap wraps. I can get 3 mio lites off ebay for a tenner. I will have to go back to using prefolds as we can't afford to replace the fuzzis and I have prefolds and terries from stuffing the fuzzis. Has anyone tried the mio lites. I'm just a bit worried that the wide band of applix might rub on ds's tummy. Need to know if they are any good as can't afford to make any more mistakes.

" But the reason I washed them at 60 was because I was worried that 40 wouldn't be enough to kill off poo germs. Is 40 hot enough? "
yes i wash all mine at 40 unless ds has had diarhoa then they get blast of 60.most people i have spoke to wash them at 40 too.

Thanks Kittypants. I thought wet nappies would be clean enough at 40, it's the pooey ones I wasn't sure about. Also I dry pail so I always imagine bacteria and germs multiplying whilst the nappies are waiting to be washed. So I always thought the hotter the better, although am finding out that's not always necessary.
