I have 5 (new) thirsties duos that I need to prep. I am planning to hang dry them when we use them, but should I put them in the dryer once to help "seal" the PUL? Also, since there are so few, do you think that I can handwash them in the sink with a little detergent?

In my experience the hemp portion of the liner takes a TON of preps to become fully absorbant.....like 5-6. You can try and handwash, but may have some leaks for awhile.
As for sealing the PUL...I've never done this and have had no problems, but I know some people like to do one run through the dryer, it's up to you really.

It's just the PUL outer covers, no inserts. We are using them with prefolds, which we have already prepped.

Ohhh! Sorry, my bad. I was just stuffing my duo diapers so had them on the brain. If I havr a small load of CDs to prep I just do it with a load of regular laundry making sure to use a CD safe detergent and no softener.

Thanks! It seemed silly to just wash 5 covers by themselves. Should I dry them?
