I have used small amounts of comfort in the past to soften nappies every now and then. The problem with it is that it coats the fibres with a greasy residue. If you use it once then it will wash out after a few washes so not a permanent problem. If you use a small amount every now and then you just have to accept that absorbency will be reduced a bit. If you used it all the time then I think the build up would prove to be more of a problem - does that make sense?

As far as I am aware, Comfort is no different from any other liquid softener.

Bold 2 in 1 on the other hand is clay based and works great with nappies (& towels).

I agree here. We've recently started using Comfort for our normal washing and I notice that in particular towels arent as absorbant... they are lovely and soft (so really nice to wrap yourself into) but dont seem to absorb water as well as before, its seems to 'sit' on the top - if you know what i mean

So I definitely wouldnt try it on nappies...! :(
