Micro-fiber doublers

November 21st, 2005


In order to add lots of absorbency to diapers without sacrificing quick drying time, I make microfiber and flannel "doublers" to lay inside the diapers. These are cut from thick water-absorbing microfiber towels, but many other materials work well for these. Natural fibers work best, but there are a few exceptions to that rule, including these microfiber towels, and a polyester knit called "alova suedecloth." For these doublers I’ll use two layers of these towels, plus two layers of flannel. I just serge the whole stack together, but a wide zig-zag around the edge will work just as well.

    First off thanks for all the helpful information.
    My hubby and I are thinking about having a baby so I’ve been overthinking every little thing. lol Like cloth diapering, for instance, which I’d really like to try. (Not even pregnant yet so I’m not sweating it at the moment.)
    However in my search for info I came across this whole reusable menstrual pad thing. Wow! Such an awesome idea! (Especially if your going to be doing cloth nappies anyways.)
    I was wondering if you had heard anything about Microfiber causes yeast infections? I think it sounds silly but I’m planning on trying to make my own. I don’t have much money at all so I don’t want to go out and buy a bunch of Microfiber that may end up being bad for me.
    (I doubt I’ll be brave enough to attempt to make my own diapers though. Rather leave that to the experts such as yourself.) ;)
