Fabrics |
Bamboo |
| |
Latest addition to the Modern Cloth family of fabrics. Super absorbent, and especially soft to touch, it's a highly renewable source, and so very environmentally friendly. |
Flannel |
| |
A traditional nappy fabric, it is a densely woven and brushed cotton. |
Fleece |
| |
Hydrophobic material, with heavyweight fleece used in covers or the Outers of AIOs and lighter weight or microfleece used as liners or inners to keep moisture away from baby's skin. |
| Hemp |
|
Stronger and more absorbent than cotton , it is a porous (breathable) fabric with natural antifungal and antibacterial properties, making it ideal for use in Modern Cloth Nappies. |
|
PUL |
| |
PolyUrethane Laminate - applied to fabric to make a moisture proof yet breathable layer. |
|
| |
Soft absorbent cotton fabric covered in tiny loops. |
Velour |
| |
A very soft blend fabric, generally 80% cotton, 20% polyester. |
Wool |
|
Used in Soakers (a Wool Cover) and Longies (a Cover with extended pant legs) it is super absorbent, and the loose knit means it evaporates moisture quickly. |
