If you have to choose, which Zorb fabrics are the best for cloth nappy inserts? In terms of absorbency. Not keen on compression leaks though.
Maximum 800GSM absorbency. I'm expecting up to 30ml-40ml of liquid before changing the nappy. Apparently bamboo absorbs 5mls of liquid per gram of fabric.
Options:
Zorb® Original Silver Fabric (W-201) (Microbial Style) 235GSM
Zorb® 3D Bamboo Dimple Fabric (W-232) 550GSM
Zorb® 3D Organic Cotton Dimple Fabric (W-230) 550GSM
I was thinking about creating the following insert:
Inner layer - ProCool® Dri-QWick™ Jersey Mesh CoolMax Fabric (W-434) X 1 layer. 150GSM
Middle layer - Zorb® Original Silver Fabric (W-201) (Microbial Style) X 2 layers. 235GSM X 2 = 470GSM
Backing layer -
Zorb® 3D Bamboo Dimple Fabric (W-232) or Zorb® 3D Organic Cotton Dimple Fabric (W-230) X 1 layer. 550GSM
Any advice is appreciated.
As you could see, the absorbency levels exceeded 800GSM which would make doing the laundry harder. And mold might occur within 6 months because the nappy insert cannot dry 100%. This cannot be the sustainable way...
I'm happy to consider other Zorbs fabrics!
Thanks in advance
