I first take all the diapers and inserts and run them on a cold RINSE cycle.

The last rinse is mostly to get all the excess soap out of the diapers, so I am not sure if you would need that with underwear.

If I really cared, I could get more inserts (instead of paying for another diaper entirely.) </strong> Alright, I must know — wait just a minute here! The text in your comment box is green.
