What is the difference between a Cloth like exterior and a Plastic exterior?
All disposabe briefs should have a waterproof barrier as the outer layer. The more advanced higher quality briefs are made with a cloth like exterior sometimes called a soft non woven backsheet that are waterproof and make less noise when the patient moves. In the past the most briefs had polyethylene or “plastic” waterproof barriers that make more noise. Many of the economy briefs today continue to have polyethyene backing.
