The volume of LO's peep and poop was so small when we started using them that I guess it didn't matter that they weren't at their max absorbency - we didn't have any leaks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-did-you-prewash-your-bum-genius#post-115604 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 13:41:44 +0000 Mrsbells 115604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: @pelikila: Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-did-you-prewash-your-bum-genius#post-115262 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 09:39:32 +0000 heffalump 115262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: I was pretty overwhelmed with the diapers when I got them and thought I'd do something wrong. But 8 months later they work great and have held up well. Try not to get overwhelmed too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-did-you-prewash-your-bum-genius#post-115261 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 09:39:32 +0000 pelikila 115261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: No drying between. Just hot washes (first with soap followed by washes with no soap). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-did-you-prewash-your-bum-genius#post-115258 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 09:37:34 +0000 Mrsbells 115258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: ok thanks.. I will look in the box for the wash instructions </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-did-you-prewash-your-bum-genius#post-115257 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 09:36:50 +0000 heffalump 115257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: I didn't dry between. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-did-you-prewash-your-bum-genius#post-115251 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 09:35:17 +0000 heffalump 115251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: It should give you instructions in how to wash them when you get your diapers. But it's different than what I've read online..... so really I have no good advice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-did-you-prewash-your-bum-genius#post-115250 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 09:35:12 +0000 Mrsbells 115250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: @pelikila: So did you just repeat the wash cycle multiple times while they diapers were in the machine or did you actually take them out after each cycle and dry them and then wash them again? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-did-you-prewash-your-bum-genius#post-115249 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 09:33:39 +0000 pelikila 115249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I did around 3 hot washes (only one with soap). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-did-you-prewash-your-bum-genius#post-115234 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 09:28:33 +0000 heffalump 115234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I washed them 3 times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-did-you-prewash-your-bum-genius#post-115157 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 09:04:51 +0000 Mrsbells 115157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am expecting to receive my diaper stash today, and I plan to put them in the laundry some time this week. On the bum genius website it states that it takes several washes for the diapers to reach their max absorbency, I was just wondering how many times you prewashed them before you started using them. I was planning to just wash them once. </p>
