My Wambamboos aren't nippa-ing properly - help!

I love my WBBs but have started having problems getting the nippa to grip the fabric properly. It's as if the pile is too thin. What am I doing wrong?

How are you drying them?

Too much direct on a radiator sort of squishes it down. Rub them together viciously as you take them out of the wash and they plump up - if you can tumble them at all, rub them lots, then tumble and it brings it back up again.

agree with flame , even my cotton nappy's don't nippa well when line dried, the nippa just seems to 'slip"

I either tumble or line dry outside, never on radiators. Tumbling alone doesn't seem to cure it, but will try rubbing them, thanks.

what temp do you wash them at? anything above 60 degrees will shrink the bamboo, same with the hot setting on the dryer

I wash at 60 and dry on Delicate (my dryer only has the 2 settings - normal and delicate, but maybe even that is too hot?)

It's just a thought, may be some other reason, is there anyway you can find out how "warm" delicate is, it's so difficult when tumbling as there seems to be no way of knowing how hot your machine is
