Microfibre is available in the cleaning aisles of supermarkets its extra absorbant & can be used as an insert for your pocket nappies.
I suppose you could use it as a wipe but personally i wouldnt because of the feel.
We use cheap facewashers as they grab all the poo pretty much instantly.

and then there is micro fleece is this like polar fleece only better?

Yes polar fleece, micro fleece are pretty much the same. You can use this to make nappy covers, liners or even a pocket or AIO nappy.


do you have to have a layer of something else between the bubba's bottom and the micro fibre?

If you were using it near bubs skin i personally would use a separate liner because its got a strange feel. There was talk its not a good idea to have it against bubs skin but lately its been found as fine so there is now just the for & against parties hehe. I personally wouldnt because of the feel as i said.



then there is hemp terry and hemp cotton? absorbant used mainly for absorbant padding?

Yep you can either use them as an insert again for pockets or as an extra layer of your AIO.

pul, only available on nappy websites, what about the other fabrics? hemp and bamboo, are these available at fabric shops generally?

Hemp & bamboo is the same as PUL its online but available all the same.

Hope this answers all your questions :D

cleaning cloths do you use this as a absorbant pad for your pockets? or as a liner or wipe?
Yes the microfibre ones.

and then there is micro fleece is this like polar fleece only better?
yes like poalr fleece, but you use micro fleece as the inner liner and polar fleece for the outer of the pocket

do you have to have a layer of something else between the bubba's bottom and the micro fibre?
yes micro fibre should not touch the skin as it will absorb the skins oils

then there is hemp terry and hemp cotton?:confused: absorbant:yes: used mainly for absorbant padding?
yes thats right and bamboo also

pul, only available on nappy websites, what about the other fabrics?
yes, which other fabrics? Fleece is avaliable at spotlight, but not great quality

hemp and bamboo, are these available at fabric shops generally?
Hmm not sure

Dont forget that suedocloth and velour are great as a liners too.

im just starting to make my own now :)
