Which diaper (cotton fleece, fleece/terry combo) is most absorbent?
One of our retailers did some comparative absorbency testing and found that the size 1 cotton fleece diaper absorbed the same as a premium chinese cotton prefold diaper; the fleece/terry combo absorbed approximately 10% more by weight. Of course, lab testing doesn’t address the real-life use/absorbency of a diaper (e.g., your baby doesn’t wet the whole diaper at once and let it drip dry!). The only difference between the fleece and combo diapers is the outside layer. On the combo diapers, the outside layer is knit terry, which is heavier than the cotton fleece. The soaker layers are exactly the same.
