smelly breast pads

Can you dry them in the sun and see if that clears it up?

They smell when they are dry too. So far Ive always dried ithem in the conservatory often in the sun depending on the weather.
Havent tried a hot wash but will try that today

dumb blond question....how do I do that

I had to strip my ones once. You will probably find a thread on stripping in the cloth nappy area.

It's something like
-Hot wash
-cold wash with vinegar and baking soda
-cold wash with vinegar
-cold wash

I just did mine by hand in a bucket and chucked them in the last rinse cycle with my clothes. Then hung them up in the sunshine.

Also, I find my thicker ones get a bit funky smelling when they don't get completly dry so I often leave them in the hot water cupboard overnight.

ETA, once I tried washing them with Am-O-Lin which is what I use on Jody's nappies. I don't know why but that made them really stinky! Like a sour/off fruit kind of stink Yet Jody's nappies and clothes smell delish!
