Just accidentally washed ...

Two disposable nursing pads in the washing machine. Ugh! Now the "clean" clothes have these disgusting gel balls all over them. And the kicker is, I don't even need them for leaking, I just use them for at work after I'm done pumping so people can't see the hard nips!
What is the worst thing you've ever accidentally washed?
** Edit** I rewashed the clothes and most all the gel balls were gone. The little teeny tiny ones were zapped up by the dryer!

Re: Just accidentally washed ...
two $50 bills.
They came out of the wash in pieces.
I was so p!ssed at myself!
lately, a disposible diaper
in the past, something yellow with a hot load of whites
Holy Cow! What kind of crazy washer do you have? I've washed money a bunch of times but I've never had it come out in pieces!

This made me lol. Thanks!
I've never had trouble with a washing machine destroying money like that either.
$100 - I'd be upset too!
Have you had the opportunity to rewash/rinse your clean clothes yet? I'm curious as to how difficult it will be to get rid of the gel balls.
I cloth diaper so I haven't had the gel ball issue with diapers, but a day or so ago all those white water proof cloths you can put on the changing pad were dirty so I grabbed a puppy pad (DD likes naked butt time).
She peed on it and was covered in those gel balls.
They were the hardest things ever to get off her skin! I must have gone through a bazillion wipes...
Good luck with your laundry!

If that doesn't work, maybe if you run them through the dryer the balls will dehydrate and fall off easier? Just a suggestion...
It's a Maytag Neptune. The money went through with H's work jeans, so I think it was more the jeans that did the shredding than the wash itself.
That actually happened to me too - but the gel balls came from a diaper. I don't know how that ended up in the washing machine! But I rewashed everything and it all came out fine. I hope your clothes do too!
chapstick. Ruined all of the clothes in the load.
I cloth diaper now, but with my older two, they would always wake up with those little gel bits on their tushies... yuk! Hope they come off theclothes easily!
I used to do this ALL THE TIME in high school; sometimes Stain Stick worked and sometimes my clothes were trashed.
I accidentally washed a breastpad a few months ago. It got huge and puffy but didn't actually burst. I thought it was cool but DH thought it was gross and made me throw it away, lol.
OP. hope your clothes come clean!
