If you have had a diaper with PUL Delaminate...

[The Fancy Pansy]

Was it dried in the dryer or hang dried?


I keep seeing threads about delaminating diapers and think I've noticed a trend, but I'd like more input.

I've only ever had one piece delaminate, and it was faulty from the manufacturer, so I won't vote.

I voted dryer low/medium, but it may have been a flaw in the fabric b/c they were the same color, ordered at the same time, and the manufacturer (Rocky Mountain) replaced them for me w/no issue. That was awesome customer service

I have always had PUL diapers(almost three years now), always dried on high and have NEVER had a diaper delaminate. I have purchased a used one where the PUL has started pulling away from the fabric, but the dryer has not made it worse and it still works fine.

i had one out of an identical batch of 5 diapers delaminate. it was washed on hot and dried on hot just like the others but was the only one to delaminate

I'm not voting either, but wanted to comment! I've never had anything delaminate (have used BG's,FB's and CB's) and I would say they get dried on high heat 50% of the time, line dried the other 50% (indoors and out depending on the season), and for a while I had a super small stash and was drying them every night!

as a diaper maker let me add my two cents: I have found that different diaper fabrics delaminate- and it is a quality issue. Hot press lamination may delaminate more than solvent lamination. I had bought from one supplier and could tell it would delaminate and it did. reputable suppliers have years of experience and have extensively tested.

If i had a diaper delaminate, i would contact the manufacturer

Now I recommend not washing /drying on hot because
1) better for the environment and the pocket book
2) could prematurely age the elastics

I had some really old Sunbaby pockets delaminate. But who knows how many babies they went through before reaching me. They all delaminated within a couple weeks of receiving them. I washed on hot, dried on medium.

I recently had a FuzziBunz pocket delaminate after... I want to say 13 months of use. I washed on hot, dried on medium.

I had my RaR delaminate, it was hung dry inside 50% and dryer dried on med 50%.

I've still been using it even though it looks terrible bunched. This begs the question: should I contact the manufacturer?

The only diaper that I ever had delaminate did it after about 3 washes. The rest of mine are dried on high at home, and no issues at all. I didn't vote.

I'm not voting because I don't use PUL frequently enough to be a good "tester", but we do use PUL hanging pails and wash with every diaper load. I started off hang drying them, but soon got lazy and dried them on medium heat. 3 years of CDing and no delamination.
