@egram The mold you’re talking about via the orange spots is from the bacteria Serratia marcescens, it’s the same bacteria that grows the orange/pink scum in areas like the shower/tub or bathroom areas. It is essentially harmless as it lives on human skin, however I wouldn’t want to be willingly...

@osh This happens to us with pocket diapers if I don’t change my 12mo in less than 2 hours. 2 hours is the absolute maximum length of time before she starts leaking also around the legs, so I typically keep it around 90 minutes but that leads me to believe it’s an absorbency issue. You could try...

@defoehorses I’ve seen that about borax too, but unfortunately the alternative (mineral build up, or diapers not getting clean enough because of such) with water as hard as ours is virtually worse. I sadly learned the hard way, it was burning my poor baby’s skin and it took me quite awhile to...

@defoehorses I use Biokleen powder, but I have to add borax to every load or I’ll end up with mineral build up, I learned the hard way. Our water is just as hard as yours. I use Charlie’s brand of borax, it does not have a scent.

@lcnolen2022 I feel the opposite, esembly is super super bulky on my mobile 9 month old. You can see her kinda shift her butt around when she sits and you can tell she’s like sitting on a wad, she protests the esembly diapers but doesn’t with pockets. The more she moves around the more they seem...
