No, they can't. And if you do try to wash them, not only will they not come clean, but they will also fall apart. That is why they are disposable diapers. If you want diapers that can be washed and reused, then cloth diapers are the kind to use. Just be sure to wash them with very hot water and, if possible, use a chlorine bleach with the detergent to be sure they are sanitized, as well. But I would also recommend running them through a second rinse, just to be sure there is no detergent or bleach residue. Hanging them in hot sun to air dry or drying them on the high heat setting in the clothes dryer will help ensure that they are sanitary.
