The Latest Batch of One Size Bamboo Cloth Diapers!
These cloth diapers are for sale at Serenity Tree although a few of them have already sold. They are a fitted cloth diaper, which means that they need a waterproof cover to keep clothing dry. They are made with bamboo inners and inserts - so everything that touches your baby has bamboo fibers in it. I love using bamboo blend fabrics because the bamboo fibers have natural anti-bacterial properties. The anti-bacterial properties in bamboo fabric come from the "bamboo kun" which part of the bamboo fibers. And, like other natural fiber materials, such as cotton and hemp, bamboo is also a very "breathable" fabric meaning that air can circulate through it and cool the body.
The bamboo fabrics that I use in the cloth diapers I make and sell are a blend of bamboo, cotton, and in some cases, polyester. I use a heavy weight 80% bamboo and 20% organic cotton fleece in the inserts of my diapers. The fleece layers are on the inside and the bottom of the inserts. They actually have 4 layers of this heavy weight bamboo/organic cotton fleece. The fabric that I use on the top of the insert and the inside of the diaper (that touches the baby's behind) is 80% bamboo, 17-18% organic cotton, and 2-3% polyester velour. The polyester is in the "backing" or back side of the fabric and serves the purpose of holding the fabric together better. While the fleece is a more rugged fabric, the velour is softer and needs the extra stability of the polyester in the back to get maximum durability. I hope you enjoyed learning more about Joyful Baby cloth diapers and the bamboo fabrics that I use in them!
