Bambinex Washable Diapers for Babies / Kids Description

The ecological and cost-effective choice

Washable diapers are becoming increasingly more successful thanks to their many advantages. These diapers will save you over 600 € per child, taking into account the price of washing powder. The ecological impact is equally substantial. Each child uses around 6,500 diapers, which 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, even if you have several children.

Designed to respect the delicate skin of your baby and his comfort

Disposable baby nappies often contain products that may irritate baby’s skin or cause allergies.
The washable Bambinex diapers are made from bamboo fibres, with the bamboo crops grown without pesticides nor fertilisers. As a material, bamboo comes with numerous benefits. It is :

• Antibacterial and antiallergic;
• Exceptionally soft;
• More absorbent than cotton (as used in disposable diapers);
• Retains its full absorption capacity even after many washes. If anything, its absorption capacity only increases.

Bambinex diapers are soft, comfortable and super-absorbent. The breathing multi-layered structure lets the air through but traps the moisture. This ensures the perfect temperature inside the diaper and prevents baby’s private parts from getting irritated.

The diaper and its accessories

The washable diapers are made up of several sections and accessories. Working outside to inside, a fitted diaper consists of :

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

1. The protective wrap

The protective wrap makes up an impermeable barrier that traps the moisture once the diaper has been soiled. The wrap comes in a colourful pattern that brightens up the diaper.

2. The washable diaper

This is the actual nappy.

3. The washable insert

It is the most absorbent part of the diaper and covers the critical areas. It is removable.

4. The absorbent "stay-dry" lining

The lining is a washable inlay film in microfibre that absorbs the moisture and keeps babies bottom dry.
It is indispensable if you are treating baby’s bottom with diaper cream, oil, talcum powder, etc. to avoid clogging up the diaper.

5. The Biodegradable protective and absorbent paper

The protective paper gathers the stools and as such acts to protect the washable diaper.

Bambinex Washable Diapers for Babies / Kids Usage

First use

Before using the washable Bambinex diapers, you MUST wash and dry it at least three times. The news diapers are covered in a very thin layer of residual was and oil, which are necessary as part of the processing procedures during production. These need to be removed to open up the fibres and to activate the absorption capacity de the diaper.

Storage

We recommend keeping the soiled diapers in a bucket with a lid or in a leakproof Bambinex bag for 2 to 3 days before putting them in the washing machine.

Washing and maintenance

To keep the washable Bambinex diapers intact, it is imperative that you observe the following instructions :

• Wash at 40°C. If the child has been ill, wash at 60°C.
• For badly soiled diapers, run a prewash cycle.
• Select a cycle that includes a rinse, at this will get rid of the detergent residue and raise the diapers’ service life.
• Dry the diapers at a moderate temperature. Ruffle the diapers around by hand after they have dried to soften them up.
• Only use washing powder that has been especially formulated for coloureds, ideally Bambinex washing powder.
• Do not use more than 30 grams of powder (2 tablespoons) for 5 kg of laundry.
  PLEASE NOTE : Liquid detergents, fabric softeners, stain removers, household soaps, essential and non-stain oils all contain residues that soil the diapers.
• Chlorinated products, bleach and vinegar may end up spoiling the diapers.
• Do not iron the diapers.

How to fit

The reusable Bambinex diapers are fitted like a traditional diaper, albeit with the following differences :

• Fold out the protective wrap, with the tissue facing outward;
• Place the washable diaper in the middle of the protective wrap;
• Fasten the insert on the inside of the washable diaper;
• Put in an absorbent liner. Fold in two for boys;
• Put in a sheet of protective and absorbent paper;
• Close and fasten the washable diaper;
• Close and fasten the protective wrap.

Every baby is different, so you may need to adjust your fitting technique to suit the infant.

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.
