How much prewashing for new WNNN before I use them overnight

Just got my 2 gorgeous new WNNN and am just wondering how many times I need to pre wash them before I dare use them overnight? Also I've never understood this but do I need to dry them before another prewash or can they just be washed again and again straight away? I have always dried my fluff between prewashes so of course the whole process takes ages :roll:

Thank you :lol:

You dont need to dry them before each prewash hun so dont worry about that. Just redo them while they are wet. I got some new wnnn's last week and i prewashed them twice and they worked ffab over night. Obviously they become more absorbant as time goes on but i found twice was enough. Hope that helps xx

I got away with one prewash and using it under wool, but I'd say do 2 to be on the safe side :) Enjoy!

You don't need to dry them in between as PP said, it's all about abusing the fibres so that they open up and more surface area is exposed and they can absorb more. Drying will only really help in that process if it's tumbling, if you're not tumbling then you may as well just leave them wet and do a few prewashes in a row.

Pre-washing, what's that :giggle: I am far to impatient for pre-washing, new nappies go straight on, I just add a wee bit extra boosting x

I do one pre wash, but that is because Katie has very sensitive skin. I have never had a trouble with the absorbancy after just one wash,
