BBH Bamboo Drying time??

[V8]

Hey All

I washed my new BBH three times, and hung them out this morning before 11am, have just taken them off the line at 4:45pm and they are still damp. It's an incredibly hot and sunny, humid day, i would have thought they'd be well and truly dry by now. Or do they just keep a lot of moisture in and that's how they are supposed to feel??

Ta!

I have the same problem with my BBH Bamboo's. They take forever to dry. I usually put them on the line and then finish them off on low in the dryer - they should feel completley dry after a good stint in the dryer (just make sure you have the setting on low).

At least a day for us - that is on a very good day (sunny windy) Closer to 2days though.

Overnight on the heated towel rack for us. They do take aaaaaaages to dry :yes:

That's a bummer. I have just folded them all and put their inserts in, if i put them in the dryer, i'd have to take them apart again wouldn't i?

Also, we don't really have a low setting on our dryer, just an automatic dry thing... weird.

yeah it says hang the out first thing in the morning.
but most of the time they're still a bit damp so i put them in the dryer for a little bit.

Its hard when you only have a few. I have enough so I leave em for almost 2 days (winter may be different story)

[mama anne]

yep, 2 days around here.
to check they're completely dry i stretch out the elastic and feel in the gathered bits.

As of late it takes around 4 hours but in mild temperature it's definitely over a day.

I guess you have to expect that from a very absorbent nappy. Worth the wait though :yes:

Thanks guys, didn't realise that they took that long to dry. But as you said, it's worth it to have that kind of absorbency.

BTW - He has christened his first BBH with a lovely big poo! lol

I only have one so far :gloomy: But yeah, it takes a while to dry! I hang it up first thing - say 7ish then leave it out until 7pm if it is a warm day. then it is dry. But on other days where it is not so hot, i put it on a clothes airer in the hotest room in the house with a fan blowing overnight.

I don't know how i'll survive in winter - which is why i bought an extra 3 hemp ones!
