I won't need my Fuzzibunz OS dipes until well after baby comes in December so I decided to let a mom at church give them a test run since she CDs.  She said she uses "baby detergent, no dyes, chemicals, or fragrances".  I just wanted to make sure it was okay for her to wash it in this before I handed them over with no other instructions.  I think she uses GDiapers so I guess that's what she's been using on them.....  Thanks mamas!

    Dreft is too mild to really get them clean.

    Gawd no.  That stuff has so much perfume and additives it's disgusting.  I sort of feel sorry for the people that fall for the hype.

    ha! I was given a small bottle of it. I opened it up, got a whiff of the extream baby powder scent and threw it out.

    I'd let her use them as long as she was willing to use a different detergent (heck, if she was only using them a few times to try fit or something I'd probably provide the detergent).  I'm really sensitive to detergent perfumes, though, and I think Dreft smells like ick and not being able to breathe.

    I'd lend them only if she promises to use a CD safe detergent, definitely not Dreft.

    Yep, Dreft gets a big no for me. Maybe if she was borrowing clothes, but not dipes. I need them to work.

    Dreft would get a big no from me, too.

    When I loaned diapers to someone, I typed up "proper care" instructions and gave her the detergent I use. (She was using my dipes as a trial to see if she liked cloth, so she didn't have any previous experience or anything.)

    I would probably do it that way again, even it was someone who wasn't a newb to cloth, just b/c we all have our own way of caring for our diapers. Hopefully they would be understanding and not think I was overbearing or picky!
