Ugh Elastic Issue BG 3.0s

jacksjerseygirl

One of my diapers on only one side has the elastic stretched all the way out - I don't know what happened. It was fine when put in the wash - none of the others have issue but when it came out of the dryer it was stretched.

 

Any remedy other than tossing it? Thanks!

I would see if it falls under warranty.  It should if you bought them new and it has been less than a year since you bought them.

ditto.  give cotton babies a call.

Do you think there is anything I did wrong to cause this? I use CC and on occasion I add in some baby oxy-clean (not eff I know) but it helps when we run into any stink issue. And on occasion I also use vinegar instead. 

Maybe I'm drying on too high of heat.

If it's not under warranty (like if you bought it used), you could fix the elastic is you are okay at sewing (with a machine) or know someone who is.

You don't even really need a sewing machine- you could fix it with just a seam ripper and hand sewing.

That said, dryer heat and vinegar can both shorten elastic life.  It is best to only use vinegar occasionally, not with every wash.  I doubt baby oxiclean did it- most likely the elastic got caught on the agitator of our washer and got yanked hard enough that it couldn't recover.  If it was just elastic age/wear and tear, both saides should be stretched out.
