Smart Bottoms question

[LBS2012]

I lurked back over to TB and saw someone just asked about Smart Bottoms. I'm considering them simply because of the airplane print. Do they still wash up as easily as a workhorse or fitted would? 

Side note, I think I finally found a good wash routine & detergent combo for our newly softened water.

Well, they're an AIO, so I hang mine to dry (personal preference). Otherwise, I think they wash as easily as anything else.

And yay for a good wash routine!

I wouldn't consider a fitted the model dipe for washing up easily. So many layers.
Smart bottoms wash up great tho.

Oh and what's your routine?

Rinse & Spin, warm, water plus
Cotton/Normal, hot, extra heavy soil, water plus,  Puracy detergent - 2 pumps
Bulky/Large, hot, light soil, water plus, no detergent



I couldn't find a good balance with Tide. If I used enough to get the dipes clean, I had to do far too many rinses. If I used an amount that could be rinsed out with only 2 extra rinses, I was getting barnyard and ammonia.

Another vote for smart bottoms love. I blame LBW for my new obsession

SAK I believe you said they are more generously cut than the OS Simplex? My DS has outgrown is OS Simplexes *boohoo* and while his Large Simplex still fits, I do love the SB prints.

Crud. Double post. Sorry.

I don't know if I'd say they're more generous but they are cut pretty wide. Let me go find two and compare

Ok yeah. The smart bottoms are def bigger


This is with the right side and top aligned


Here's side by side

I don't have a large simplex to compare it to. Only the OS.
