Almost all of my nappy stash is bamboo - and I only have 1 nappy with a problem. It was one of the first I ever made, and it was used in a really high rotation (and wasn't that well sewn, with snaps moved around etc). I will easily be able to use most of my stash on the next bub without buying anything else (of course, I will and have bought some NB stuff, LOL - and will have to replace more if it's a boy!) as it's all still in great condition. We wash at least every 2nd day with other whites in our top loader, use minimal euclan detergent, line dry...
I'd be using a small bucket to wet pail your nappies for the toxic wee factor and washing every 2nd day. Better to save your nappies (and the environmental costs of replacing them) with a bucket of water every other day IMO.
