Diaper Swappers

Who uses dryer balls? Have you found they are causing your diapers to pill more than before you started? All of my prefolds are getting really pilly and I'm trying to figure out what is causing it.

Do sweater shavers work on prefolds? anyone know?

I started using dryer balls a few weeks ago and I haven't noticed anything yet? I don't have prefolds though.....I have wipes, pockets, fitteds etc.....

Maybe that's normal for prefolds?

Where did you all find your dryer balls??

jedibunni · 05-05-2006, 09:49 AM

I actually found mine at Walgreens....but it was in the section that sells the "seen on TV" stuff.... they were only 9.99!

I use them, and have for a few months now. Nope don't notice any extra pilling. I find my diapers are actually softer now with the dryer balls.

i do know that for a month or two my prefolds got all pilly, but i think that was part of the breaking in process and the dryer balls actually helped (this happened about 4months after i got my prefolds)

we use dryer balls cause Mia is allergic to fabric softner....I haven't noticed any problems with them. No pilling and I do have some prefolds.

I got mine at Walgreens too!
