Do you notice these diapers having a lot of lint in them from the dryer while breaking them in & professional quality?

Yes, lint is very normal when prepping cloth prefolds. It takes a few washes and dries before they are at their full absorbancy. These are great, and we have been using them for about a year and they keep getting fluffier and softer.

I think there was a good deal of lint in the first 2 wash/dry cycles. I washed and dried them 4 times to prep them. I love them, they're my favorite diaper. I have 18 of these, 12 Econobum, and 18 BumGenius 4.0 pockets.

Haven't noticed it yet. My husband only uses them at night. He doesn't move much. They are washed, bleached double rinsed daily. You cannot use a dryer or the waterproofing wears off. Hope this was helpful.

No they don't come out linty at all! There is actually a lint filter in the agitator that catches the lint.

I put mine through a cold rinse, like all urine-contaminated items, to ensure that I don't set the odor. (Probably an excessive caution - I don't remember doing that with diapers forty years ago!) Then I wash them in warm water, put in the dryer briefly at low temperature (with other laundry, or with clean dry towels) to remove excess moisture (they do hold a lot!), then lay out flat to finish drying. However, I have forgotten to take them out of the dryer sometimes, and they seem to be just fine.

I was wondering the same thing because I have a combination washer/dryer, and since I throw in a load in the morning before work, I would have to include them with the clothes at that time. At least they'll be clean little guys I guess!

The short answer is no. I have had no problem with them except they are not soft but I have noticed they are getting better with each wash. Having so much cotton in them (820 grams) I expect them to last a long time and to get progressively better with age, and yes I will buy them again as I am impressed by them.

I am not sure. I have never done this. I have never had any lint problem with them from any type clothing, but have never gotten them wet. I have three full closets of them (5 boxes) and love the way they look. They are sturdy enough for blazers. Sorry to not be more help.

I put mine in the washing machine yesterday and now they are shrunk. I came here to try and find how to fix them, but looks like I'll have to buy new ones

I have stop using them because sneakers were getting filled with lint. I was leaving lint behind everywhere else as well.

Yes. Mine get covered in lint/fuzz and I have wiped them with a damp cloth to remove fuzz/refresh adhesive. After one or two times of this, they need to be replaced.

I wash mine after each use for sanitary reasons. They have held up VERY well in both the washer and dryer. I also recommend using Nellie's laundry soda and no fabric softeners. The inserts can go either on top of the diaper or in the pocket or both.

**WARNING** I prepped with the method of 2 times washing (with no soap) using my he steam cycle, hot rinse, then put in them in the dryer, delicate cycle, low temperature. I planned to iterate once more, but when I took them out of the dryer, I found the fabric around the piping frayed and damaged. I am devastated. I don't know if this was from the prepping with washer/dryer (I'm can't imagine so), but I'm not happy with this product and will not buy more. The diapers look 5-7 years old, and they're brand new.

Yes they are. I hang dry mine, though, because I use them to make coconut milk and don't want any dryer lint sticking to them..

I have seen the same thing and at times have changed what appeared to be dry underwear. I assume it may be one drop or dampness. I have returned 2 units for credit for this same problem .the returns were handled very well.

No. Mine did not. There was a lot of lint in the dryer filter, but all towels give off a great deal of lint. I didn't dry it with colors.

yes - in fact i'm thinking of buying some new ones - I have used them for about 3 yrs and they're getting kind of dirty inside and i'm sure if i wash them - all the labeling will come off. Figure for the price, they've lasted a long time.

never had this experience. I've laundered them a few times, and I have an upright high efficiency machine, which tends to be rougher on everything, but I haven't noticed any issues with these towels.
