Which Fabric?

The majority of our clothing is made from organic cotton. 

If it's wool it is likely to be made from soft merino - one of the hardest wearing yet softest wools you can buy.

Modern washable nappies now come in a variety of fabrics, we commonly think of real nappies as being made from cotton, but new hi-tec nappies are now made from polyester, bamboo and hemp. Polyester towelling makes great nappies because it is very absorbant but dries very quickly; this is because the liquid is not absorbed by the fibres, instead it is held between the fibres and when spun the liquid simply spins out, leaving the nappy almost dry. Cotton, bamboo and hemp absorb the liquid into their fibres and so take longer to dry, bamboo takes the longest as it's fibres are super long and strong, followed by hemp then cotton. Cotton/polyester or Bamboo/polyester mix fabrics give you great absorbancy without extra long drying times.

We often recommend people use a thirsty fabric such as bamboo for night time nappies as these will absorb more liquid by volume of fabric, bamboo is also silky soft next to your baby' skin, and because it grows like a weed it is not sprayed with pesticides and chemcial fertilisers when it is growing so it is naturally 'organic' in nature.
