laundry tab

noun1

1. •
   On certain cloth diapers, a tab (usually made from Velcro itself) to which the Velcro straps of the diaper can be sticked (attached) during washing to prevent damaging the straps or hooking onto other pieces of clothing in the washing machine.

   • Always fold back the hook and loop laundry tabs otherwise they will damage your nappies in the wash. Unfolded laundry tabs are the major cause of fabric balding so please use them. — 2021
