Fabric in cloth diapers
Does anyone know what the absorbent layer in the cloth diapers is? There seems to be a layer of fleece on one side and flannel on the other side but haven't figured out what is in the center.

Do a Google search to find out.

I'm not sure either, however, while researching feedsacks, I see walmart sells them in bundles and people make diapers out of them because of their absorbancy....Hope you find it and let us know. Learn something new everyday. Hugs

Found this.....
Bamboo is a material being used in cloth diapers these days due to its sustainability and absorbency. Bamboo is a good, green option since the bamboo plant is rapidly growing and regenerates itself quickly. According to allaboutclothdiapers.com "Bamboo is naturally anti-microbial, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial. This porous fiber absorbs moisture and wicks it away from the skin, leaving baby cooler and drier than cotton or synthetic materials." Birdseye cotton is a classic cloth diaper material which has been used for years. The weave of the cotton collects the moisture. This material is fast drying, making it great for line drying. |
You can buy the fabric. I bought a bolt of "gause" like Curity used to make their cloth diapers from. I don't know where to buy it now as the store I bought mine from closed. You could google gause for making diapers.

Bamboo is not as eco-friendly as they like to advertise as it takes a lot more to break down the fibrous material. Cotton is just as sustainable and has been made into fabric for years. How much bamboo grows in the US?

Plenty of info about making cloth diapers on line. My boys' diapers were commercial gauze, some pre folded and others had to be folded.

Years ago, when my son was born in 1977, I made my cloth diapers using birdseye. It's much softer then the Curity gauze and very absorbent.
