Key

Cotton is manufactured with pesticides

But it’s a reliable All-Rounder otherwise

Go straight to Cotton Nappies

Bamboo is made from a fast-growing crop without pesticides

It’s very soft and silky to touch

It’s not so quick to absorb, but will hold a lot

Microfibre is man-made

It absorbs very quickly (like those ultra-absorbent tiny towels for the gym)

It needs help to ‘store’ moisture from a natural fibre

Some people don’t like the feel of it

Hemp is an eco-friendly natural fibre

It absorbs a lot, but takes time to do so

It’s very slim for its absorption capacity

Over time it can get a bit ‘hard’
