one h@ll of a mess! went to change loads this afternoon and somehow a diaper had gotten into the machine with the last load. What a D@mn mess! All of that absorbent stuff that gets put into them had completely coated the inside of the machine. I spent the better part of an hour cleaning it out.
Hopefully there's not enough left of the stuff to plug the washer or the septic system. Anyone ever had this happen. |

Let the kid play on a "slip and slide" wearing only a diaper. Hilarious. That damn poop catcher will be dragging the ground like my whitey tighties in about 10 minutes. It is amazing how much they can hold before they burst. ETA: I see that you are in IA, so you probably don't want to do that for a few months unless you are planning on vacationing in the Miami area, or are in real tight with CPS. |

.... ah so you mean the internal components of the diaper. that's a lot better than the stuff I imagined was coating the inside of your machine.  Quoted:

NOT A POOP THREAD!! Just a bad stuff in the machine thread! .... ah so you mean the internal components of the diaper. that's a lot better than the stuff I imagined was coating the inside of your machine. That absorbent stuff in disposable diapers can be ridiculously nasty stuff. I expands to eight times its original size when wet and holds sixteen times its weight in water. You don't want to know what happens when a trailer loaded with that stuff (in handy one ton bags) has a leaky roof plus a poorly sealed bag and it hits a downpour. The trailer looked like the Goodyear blimp due to the expansion and the additional weight had all the tires on the trailer and the truck mashed down and ready to explode. And it was only one bag out of twenty-two in the trailer that got wet. The trailer was scrapped on-site and the highway department had to come with bucket loaders to clean up the slimy, wet mess and haul it to a landfill. The twenty-one good bags had to go back to the shipper for disposition. Thank God it wasn't my trailer. |

Never thought of this happening, I got a 15 month old at home. Fortunately we just bought a new LG front loader that has a steam setting and we can run a steam cycle if this happens. But does sound like a mess. That stuff would clog the filter and pump if it got into them. Front loader drain pumps tend to be on the puny side. A DD Whirlpool pump on the other hand will pretty much push thru anything that can fit in the hose. |
