Mama Cloth help-TMI warning!

KylieNic

I rarely come on the boards anymore, but I do have a question about mama cloth. I purchased one Tululah Bean minky bean to try out mama cloth. I used it once, washed immediately after use (used my regular CD detergent and vinegar), and it came out smelling something awful. I tried spraying it with peroxide, then soak in vinegar and water, but still it stinks! I really want to get into mama cloth, but the stink is really holding me back! Any thoughts?

Hmm, no ideas there. I've never had that problem with my Imse Vimse mama cloth. I can't imagine what else you could have done to care for it any more properly. I'd probably be contacting the company to ask this question. Really odd...

yeah...odd. I've had no problem with smell after washing PIMPs...and I'd don't do anything special for them.

Never heard of that, but if it's made of minky, I wonder if it doesn't breathe well and if so, why they would select that material. I use Party in my Pants and have never had that problem.

Just wanted to throw in an update because I really didn't want to give Talulah Bean a bad rep because I genuinely LOVE the "bean". They are incredibly soft, I didn't have any leaks, and I managed to go swing dancing all night without a problem or discomfort. I doubt I will bother to try another brand because I am definitely sold on this one.

Anyway...turned out that just sprinkling baking soda and allowing that to sit overnight fixed the problem. However, I must give a rave review to Talulah Bean's costumer service. They responded to my email within a few hours and literally emailed me back and forth until the issue was solved. I was seriously impressed!

Try soaking it overnight with three or four drops of Tea tree oil.

Edit: Oops just noticed the update! Glad you found something that works
