Pockets in the dryer

loregopar

Sooo, how bad is it for pocket diapers to be dried in the dryer? Weather here is unpredictable, and we live in a forested area so I have to chase the sun just to try to get rid of stains.

So I dry all of my dipes in the dryer. Is that really that bad?

I dry mine in the drier a lot lately because its been raining every afternoon.  As long as you do it on a low setting I think its fine.

I live in Washington too, by the way, I know what you mean!

I dry mine at the lowest setting (which is air drying). If you throw a dry towel in, they'll dry a little quicker

It's just harder on the elastic, velcro, etc. -- it'll wear out faster.

I line dry inside when the weather is bad outside.

I dry the inserts in the dryer, but the actual pocket dipes? No. I do not dry outside because we are in a condo where that is against the rules. I have a drying rack in the nursery. The pocket dipes dry QUICK! (2 hours maybe)

I've been drying them for the same reasons. It is supposed to wear on them though.

Maybe I should try line drying inside like a pp said...2 hours you say? My thirsties covers take longer than 2 hours inside...hmm

my flip dries that quick, too. Maybe my standards for "dry" are just too low
