Hi all,
Based on recommendations here about how to get more absorbing power out of my fuzzi bunz I bought some mircobiger towels and they are working great. However, they are just full of static and sticking to my other diapers in the dryer. I know you aren't suppose to use fabric softner because it can make the diapers absorb less. I was wondering if anyone had tried these static eliminator sheets from one step ahead?

Wow, that sounds very interesting. I'd be interested to know if anyone else has tried it. It looks like it's a synthetic fabric that helps reduce the static. I'd be interested in the science of it--I wonder if they have an article out there that explains how poly nylon does this!

I don't have an answer on those sheets, but my solution was to just wrap/cover my microfiber towels with flannel, and we no longer have to deal with them sticking to everything.

Just an FYI fabric softner will totally make them ineffective I talked to the manufacturer of the ones I bought and she said they will no longer work if you use fabric softner.
