I need a CBI to replace my FLIP Inserts

ABColeslaw · December 2014

I've had it with the lack of sunlight, I don't like not being able to sun and it is depressing looking at my AIOs with shadows on them. So I've decided to put my AIO and WAHM stash away for the winter. I have like 15 covers, 30 FLIP Inserts and 24 Prefolds, so I won't be suffering. My thing is, the FLIP inserts are just as bad as the AIOs, they all need a good sunning. I used Charlie's bleach on them last week and it didn't make a freaking difference. SO annoyed. I even got a UV lamp....nope. So what I'd really like for this winter and next are Charcoal Blend inserts that are the shape and function similar absorbency wise as the flip inserts. Any recommendations? I supposed I could just say eff it and sacrifice the flip inserts I have and just come to peace with never selling them.

Lemon juice?

Also Tide tends to get my stains out better. But I'm not sure what you're using.

Can you sun them on the dashboard of your car? Or is the weather where you are just not making it possible?

There are been like no sunlight. Its been just drab for over a month. I normally do take the worst of em out to the car and had been fine doing that until the end of October and then nothing has helped. Ugh.

Also, I use Charlie's soap. My sensitive skin kids don't do well with tide

Yup, I couldn't remember, but I thought that was the case.

I'm in the same situation as you. I won't see any sun until April. The Midwest seems to be in perpetual overcast/cloudy for about 5 months of the year.

What about Buncha Farmers?

I've seen it used on the Twinkie Tush members. I've never tried it myself.

it's worth a shot. lol I'm going to try it out on an insert first. I have 5 elementals that I can't even look at until a sunny day. Of course she always wants to poop in Jules, Carroll, Audrey, Oops, and Maathai. I swear, if she is constipated the only logical course of action is to put her in a HTF print. Well done Lola, well done.

Have you tried the Charlies pre treat spray? I've never used it on diapers, but it's great at getting stains out of clothes

I've been curious about Kawaii charcoal inserts. Can't recommend obviously but they are pretty inexpensive if you wanted to take a risk. Has anyone used them?
