Tumble drying bamboo

[Ceolas]

Anyone do it? Does it ruin the nappies?

I have a couple of bamboo nappies and have it in my head that they must not be tumbled. But they take about 3 days to dry and it's driving me bonkers.

Are they terry loop bamboo, like bamboozles or a bamboo fleece like babybeehinds?

hot tumbling (or even sitting on too hot a radiator) can flatten the fibres on the loop fabric making it less absorbant, but the modern baby pop-ins I have say they are OK to be tumble dried on a low heat setting.

I would always use a low heat setting to TD nappies regardless of what they are made of.

Em, I have a bambeasy and a few little lamb boosters. Terry I think.

Also have the pop in and they are a cotton/bamboo mix.

I have been roasting my poor nappies on high heat!

Washing or drying bamboo too hot can make it shrink, so a coolish dryer cycle should be fine. Mind you I remember Flame saying she dried her bamboo on the radiator without any problems...

I usually dry mine on a rack that hangs off the radiator to make sure they aren't in contact, and they have been dried at full heat before (thanks to a button happy DD ) without any detrimental effects.

yup, mine were radiator dried. they weren't always as fluffity as they could be, but no nippa issues, and same absorbency as ever

I have tots bots bamboo ones and I have tumbled them ready for use in nov.

I bought Bamboo/cotton mix sheets which can't be tumble dried - it's a PITA!
