Congratulations Jen & Andy!You are the winner!
Hi! LeAnn from Giggle Britches here again. With the fall season and cooler
weather on the horizon, fleece sleepers and pants are hitting the racks in all your favorite department stores. Cloth diapering moms know fleece is a big time material in the cloth diapering world. Many wonder if these items can be used as covers. As long as they are 100% polyester, they can! So what makes fleece so great? Read on!What is fleece?
Polar fleece (usually just referred to as fleece) is a synthetic material meant to mimic wool. Made from 100% polyester, fleece is designed to allow moisture to transfer through the fabric, or wick moisture through the fabric. When used as a cover, the moisture is pulled away from the diaper to the outer surface of the cover. It spreads out and evaporates into the air.Benefits of using fleece as a cover:
- Highly Breathable
- Lightweight
- Easy to care for and clean
- Fast drying
- Very soft and comfy
- Great for heavy wetters and nighttime diapering
- Less expensive than wool
- Bulky
- Synthetic material, unlike wool
- More likely to retain urine smell than wool or PUL covers
- Compression leaking
With winter soon approaching, I have pulled out our stock of the Stacinator fleece covers in this adorable snowman print. I am giving you the chance to win one in a size newborn (6-10 lbs, 13" waist, 6-8" thighs, runs a little big). Don't have a tiny baby - this make a great gift too! Giveaway ends 10-4-10.
WIN IT!!
