Water temp for a soak...I'm a little worried?

I am rocking a soak right now in my laundry sink. I did straight hot water. I have no idea how hot our water is. As dumb as this sounds, I can stick my hands in there for a few seconds without feeling the need to pull it out...but its still hot. I am worried about the PUL in my pockets. Should I be? I'm wondering if I should go add cold water but the tub his completely full....I'd have to pull the drain for that and Im not sure I could stick my whole hand down there to find the plug!

    It'll be fine. Now if you had boiled water and put your diapers in boiling hot water then that might lead to problems

    I wouldn't worry about it messing up your diapers, but in the future I'd use warm water for a soak.  Using hot can allow stains to set in, so you should always pre-wash or pre-soak diapers in cold or warm water.

    Thanks. I had already washed them and did a cold pre-rinse. The dipes are stain free.
