The ecological impact is equally substantial. Diapers end up as household waste and take 500 years to decompose. Bambinex diapers can be used for years on end without losing any of their efficacy. They are the best possible choice for your wallet and for the planet.

The diaper and its accessories

Bambinex washable diapers for adults are all-in-one pads for moderate incontinence. Adding a washable insert increases the absorption of the diaper, making the diaper suitable for heavy incontinence.

1. A washable absorbent diaper;
2. A washable insert;
3. An absorbent "stay-dry" lining;
4. Biodegradable protective and absorbent paper.

First use

Before using the washable Bambinex diapers, you MUST wash and dry it at least three times.

Washing a clogged up diaper

In some case, the washable diaper may lose its absorption capacity because of residues that have settled inside the molecules and clogged them up.

Clogging factors

• Water too soft or very hard;
• Not enough water during washing;
• Using products or substances that clog up the diaper;
• Using too much detergent which has not washed out properly;
• Not using enough detergent, which leaves traces of urine and stools.

Effects of clogging

• Quick to leak;
• Baby’s skin gets irritated;
• Unpleasant smell even after the diapers have been washed;
• Fading diaper colours.

Scrubbing the diaper

• Submerge the diaper in a preparation made up of water, washing up liquid and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) for 24 hours. Add 20g of sodium bicarbonate per every litre of water.
• Machine-wash the diaper at 60°, using a long cycle which includes a prewash and a rinse. Do not add detergent or laundry.
• After drying, the diaper should regain its absorption capacity. Do the whole thing all over again if necessary.
