pocket diaper insert for pennies

I am really excited to share my first Frugal Friday tip.
I’ve had my suspicions that this would work
but I wasn’t positive.

I’ve been dealing with some stink with my diapers
for quite some time.
First
I thought that after I got my new washer
I wasn’t using enough soap
but after stripping my dypes
and boiling my inserts
and increasing my soap
I was still having odor issues.
The only time they weren’t smelly when soiled
was if they’d been dried on the line.
I suspect it has something to do with the sanitizing power of the sun
(there’s a spiritual lesson here…)
I prefer to dry them on the line.
I think diapers flapping in the breeze

are one of life’s sweet pleasures.
But
the weather
doesn’t always cooperate with my washing schedule.
Seems more often than not
lately
diapers have gone in the dryer.
Anyone who’s used them
knows that microfiber inserts take a long time to dry!

So
I bought a package of 25 16x16 micro fiber towels at Sams for $10.88
I had the presence of mind to prewash some
(I planned to return them if they didn’t work for inserts)
although
I didn’t expect them to turn the rest of my diapers
green
Lovely.
I think I’ll wash the rest of them by themselves!

All that to say
that
one towel
folded in thirds

makes an
easy to wash
quick to dry
non-bulky, but plenty absorbent
pocket diaper insert
that cost only pennies gotta love it!
