Cloth Diaper Delimas - HE Washers

For those of you that have an HE or front loader washing machine you know how great they are for the environment and saving water. It is ironic that they are not so good at getting cloth diapers clean. Diapers need a lot of water to slosh around in. I never had an issue with stinkies until I upgraded to an HE machine. I actually miss my top loader for diaper loads.

If you ever peek into your washer mid-cycle you will notice that there is hardly any water. Diapers absorb the majority of the wash water. Also, HE washers determine the water level by the weight of the load. Since diapers are lighter even less water is used. Your diapers end up rolling around with barely any water.

If you have an HE washer that allows you to customize the amount of water the washer uses, you are lucky! My washer has no such option :(


So I simply add a bit more to the washer.

Do a prewash/ rinse cycle first. This is important to remove any solid waste that may be left on the diapers. Then start your wash load as normal. When the washer is done filling I add about 2 pots of hot water to the load. Always follow with an extra rinse at the end of the cycle.








Now the water level is where is should be, right up to the bottom of the drum. Not too much water but just enough. The diapers now have a sufficient amount of water to agitate.







I believe in keeping it simple. This process may seem like a pain but it is so much easier than constant stripping, soaking, unnecessary sanitary cycles, additives, boiling, etc.

This process may not be for everyone, but it has been a LIFESAVER and a time saver for me :)

SposoEasy Diaper Review

I love trying new diapers, it is my business so I have an excuse :) I am extremely critical when it comes to diapers. Give me a diaper and I will analyze the heck out of it.

There has been a lot of buzz about the SposoEasy so I just had to give it a try. I am an absolute fan of natural fibers. Cotton washes up beautifully. No stripping, no build-up and no stinkies like man-made petroleum fibers have a tendency to do. The best part of the SposoEasy? It is easy..daddy easy. Sposo = husband.


When I first opened the package I was shocked how trim it was. The SposoEasy is extremely trim. Could a diaper that is so trim be absorbent? We will see....

As seen here there is no leg casing which can lead red marks on baby's cute little or chubby :) legs.

The interior consists of a cotton flannel backed with cotton loop terry.


The diaper seemed flat upon arrival but once washed it fluffed up beautifully! And dried almost as fast as my pocket diapers, unheard of for all-in-one diapers!








The laundry tabs are ingenious. My biggest complaint with aplix is the curling which is caused by washing and drying. I have to say that I do not like aplix at all because of the curling, lint collecting and diaper snakes. These hidden wash tab solves that! LOVE them! The SposoEasy is the only aplix diaper allowed my my stash.






Once fastened, the aplix tabs are completely hidden and ready to be washed!
















Here is a medium SposoEasy on my 19 month, 25lb son. PLENTY of room to grow! The SposoEasy sizing is different that other diaper brand that you may be accustomed to. They run large!












Great fit around the legs which is extremely important!
















Look how trim it is! Love this dipe!












Verdict: I LOVE this diaper! Great fit, super trim, dries fast. Everything I could ask for in a diaper!

UPDATE 3/1/09
My husband "helped out" last night by getting Jackson ready for bed, nighttime diaper and all. Let me just say that I am very particular about the nighttime diaper routine. Well, my dear husband grabbed a SpsosEasy off the top of the diaper stack and put it on him. I was busy getting my daughter ready, came downstairs and Jackson was asleep. My first reaction was "what diaper is he in? is he wearing a wool cover" Nope, he was in a Sposo. Well, I was not going to wake him just to swap out his diaper. Fast forward 12 hours: I knew I would have wet sheets and jammies to wash.....well, he was DRY, bed was DRY too! Not one single leak! The inside was completely saturated. One truly amazing diaper!
