Cloth Diapering

who used BG organics with snaps?

I have the BG Organics with snaps (i think they call these elementals now). They are OS AIO and have two layers inside which are already sewn in. Does anyone else have trouble with these staining really badly? Ive been using sized AIO's and 3.0s but just started with these last week (my preemie finally grew into them!) and have had almost no trouble with staining with the sized AIO's and 3.0's. They come out of the dyer almost perfectly white! I live in the midwest and it is december so theres not alot of sun for me to try and sun them.

Anyone else had this trouble? Did anything take it out? I realize by the end of diapering that we will have staining, but Id like to keep these as nice as possible!

Re: who used BG organics with snaps?

  • They do stain pretty easily. In general, natural fibers tend to stain easier than synthetics (BG sized AIOs and pockets) but I've found those to stain especially easily.

    Sunning will take it out. I usually rinse those really well right after LO poops in them too and that helps.

  • Yeah those stain by far the most of my diapers since they are organic cotton.  I am going to try to sun them when we have sun again.  I've heard drying them in the sun with a bit of lemon juice can improve it greatly.

  • These are the workhorse dipes in our stash. I love them. The staining comes out completely with sun.

  • I've noticed that the staining will also lighten up with a couple washes, but definitely sunning them removes the stains.  I love these diapers for overnight because I think they are super absorbent and easy to put on LO at night when I am half asleep.
