I put a brand-new Kissaluvs diaper on my baby and it didn seem very absorbent, although I keep reading how nicely absorbent these are. Why am I having trouble?
Cotton fleece and all unbleached fabrics need several good hot washes/drys before reaching initial absorbency. The fabric finishing used to create that fleecy softness needs a little roughing up in the washing machine to gain its feet, as it were. After the first 4-ish washes, you should have a good starting absorbency. After continued use and washing, you’ll find absorbency picks up considerably and fairly quickly. See the care instructions for complete laundering details.
