What to do with MF inserts??

Ace08

As of this morning I am fed up with MF inserts!  I've had mold issues in the past, found and corrected the problem and things have been great since.  This morning however I noticed my inserts are starting to get moldy again.  So frustrating.  I wash very 1-2 days and leave the lid off my dp.  Are MF inserts just more prone to things like this or is it just me?  My pockets and prefolds are just fine. I think I'll just start stuffing with my prefolds, I hate the way MF feels anyhow, and how everything sicks to it. But what should I do with them, I don't really want to just throw them in the garbage.

I've never had a mold issue with my MF inserts. I'll admit that I actually don't mind my MF inserts...there I said it You could sell them...someone would buy them I'm sure.

 Same here. I like to use a newborn mf and then a hemp or bamboo insert in my pockets together and it works really well.  I am on a swap site and you can definitely sell the microfiber, depending on quality and brand I have seen them being sold from a quarter up to $1.25 a piece.

I've never heard of mold with MF...are you drying them on high heat until they are thoroughly dried?

Yep!  Then I dry them a little more just cause now I'm paranoid.  I don't know what the heck I'm doing wrong!

Do you pull out the insert right away at the diaper change or wait to do them all at the same time on laundry day? 

I do it right away.  The only time I might not is if we are out.  I sometimes just put it in the wet bag all together and then as soon as we get home I empty it in the dp and remove the inserts then.  It's never more than a few hours, is that long enough to cause mold?

Nope. Maybe you just have bad inserts??

I recommends alva baby 3 layer bamboo inserts. My LO got away with one of them till she is now 9 months and still sometimes can. We usually use 2 in her pockets and never have leakage. They are extremely thin and absorbant. Or I really like Joey bunz hemperoo inserts. I seperate them and use one of those behind one 3 layer bamboo insert. Cottonbaby has them and does free shipping.
