Success!

I felt a little silly running four washes just for two diapers and just hoped it would be worth it. After washing the Applecheeks 4 times in hot water without any soap I tried them once more and they did not leak! So there you have it folks, if your diapers leak don't give up on them right away, there is hope!

Now that I like Applecheeks again I will tell you one nice thing about their design. The opening for the covers is in the middle instead of the back where it usually is this allows the insert to agitate itself out in the wash so you don't have to remove it before washing. Clever.

Leaky Cheeks

I am ready to give up on my Applecheeks diapers because they always end up leaking. I started reading on their website to see if there was anything I could do and I learnt about stripping. Even when using the proper amount and type of detergent cloth diapers can get some build up which causes them to repel instead of absorb. By washing them in hot water without detergent a few times in a row you can 'strip' them and they will be back to their usual useful selves. At least that is what they say. So here is hoping, stay tuned for the result.
