Why do Mother-ease® diapers contain polyester?
Cotton is a very absorbent fiber but not very durable. Because the intent of our cloth diapers is to take a child from birth to toilet training, durability is essential. Not all parents (or babies) are gentle on our cloth diapers you know! Our fabrics are custom knitted for us. We choose to include a very small amount of polyester in the fabric’s base to provide shrinkage control and ensure product longevity wash after wash. The fabric is knitted in a special way to ensure only 100% cotton touches your baby’s delicate skin.
