Hear ye, hear ye!! Lil Helper products DO NOT NEED TO BE PREPPED!

Yes, you heard right. They do NOT need to be prepped!

We know that the norm for a lot of products designed to absorb is that they need to be washed 3-5 times before they even start to soak up liquid (we're looking at you, other cloth diaper brands). But Lil Helper products including our Lifesaver Mats and mattress protectors come to you ready to be used with all the absorption you will ever need, just waiting to wick away your wetness! (*Cue happy dance*)

We do recommend giving the new swag a quick wash at least once in warm or cold water to get rid of any dust that may have accumulated from the warehouse or shipping. You will only need to use ½ the recommended amount of detergent for this short cycle as the items are already clean; you are just freeing them of dust.
