Okay, so I know refluffify isn't a word, but I like it!
I have a couple of old snappi tots bots bamboozles that I was going to give away, but in my aim to not spend anymore money if I don't have to I am going to keep using them at home. The problem is when I got them they were a bit .... crunchy.. I guess? They aren't fluffy anymore, anyway (I was actually pretty disappointed - they were 2nd hand, but I was expecting soft fluffy like another I had). It also makes it really hard to snappi them as the loops are kind of flattened out and don't grab the snappi as well as they should. It was okay early on when we used tighter fitting cover,s but now we use mainly woolies/flongies over fitteds, so they need to be snappiable.
So - is there any way I can get them fluffy again?? They are "minimum 90%" bamboo...
yes I find the dryer helps, but does not last super long.
I am a little naughty and about every 3-4 months add just a touch of fabric softener to the wash. Since I mostly use tots cotton and terry flats I find they need that extra touch of help to stay soft. I have not found it affects absorbtion (from what I can tell anyway).

I find a few minutues in the dryer helps my Tots Bots Bamboo nappies to refluffify - also scrumbling (don't think this is a word either!) - when dry, grab a chunk of the nappy in each hand and rub against each other - this helps to soften them a bit! On a good note - the scrunchiness is a good sign of the bamboo being at it's best absorbancy!
Happy New Year!
