tried to get some fleece from my local shop

[nuddle]

they had never heard of micro fleece, and polar fleece, they showed me, and I just couldnt imagine using that inside a nappy, it was that thick fabric fluffy stuff, that would just make the bum sweat I reckon... maybe they had the wrong stuff, can someone try to explain exactly what it is, or post a picture of some fleece liners??

i dont think 'normal' shops sell microfleece?

[Milliner]

Spotlight sell micro polar fleece it's thicker then the normal microfleece

[Zada]

spotlight have some microfleece its called little additions or something. Their polar fleece isnt too thick either

[nuddle]

thats a bit annoying, there is no spotlight near me...

[Zada]

what fleece did they show you? Was it like trackie pants fleece or double sided?

yeah, like this thick fleece, really fluffy, both sides... hard to describe I guess.

sometimes it's called baby fleece too.... it might have pictures on it (it's good for baby blankets..)

Maybe someone could send you some?

sorry, what does Wick away mean?? I was looking for something to catch the poo really, so I dont have to rinse the whole nappy...

[Zada]

just means that the wee goes straight through the fleece so bubs bum stays dry KWIM? But yea catches poo too lol

[nuddle]

so does the fleece not get too hot in there?

[Zada]

nope not hot:no:

[Shanaynay]

Not hot - spesh when you compare it too what a sposie must feel like!

I use polar fleece for liners, no probs at all! It's the stuff thats about $8-$9 a metre at Spotlight?

Hi,

I did my first batch of nappies with lincraft polar fleece- premium antipill. It is quite thick but worked well. I have since bought my fleece from another internet site in nz and is alot thinner and therefore is alot trimmer - don't feel it has made any difference to absorbancy though. I guess though it works out more exy as it was $9 per metre plus postage whereas local stores are on special atm and are around $7 per metre.
