Do these wick moisture away from baby's skin?

Yes, quite well! With cotton pre-folds, I sometimes find that my son's skin is wet when I change his diaper. These leave his skin feeling as dry as it would be in a disposable!

No, I don't think so. My son cried each time after pee. It must be wet and uncomfortable. I stopped using it and switched to paper diapers.

These are made from cotton, so they don't wick moisture. But, when used inside of a pocket diaper, they soak up all the moisture away from the diaper itself, which keeps baby dry. If you put them inside the diaper, however, right up against baby, they're just going to absorb, not wick. As an insert, though, they are very good at keeping baby dry in combination with whatever material your diaper is made from.

Yes, they seem to pull the moisture in & the top soft layer stays seemingly dry against the skin. I haven't had any issues with these against babies skin and use them as my overnight doubler.

No. That's the beauty of diapers like these. They have a built in waterproof lining. Just remember to take the insert out when washing or it won't get clean and won't dry. Only issues I've had w these (and they are by far my favorite!) is that if your baby pees a lot (bigger babies and overnight) it can leak....but so do ALL the other brands out there, so stuff extra inserts in. Good luck!

These absorb well for us. There the only prefolds I've ever tried. I also boiled for about 40 min and they quilted up nice and thick and shrunk significantly. They lay perfect in a cover I don't imagine I'd be able to wrap around my baby and snappi them. This might sound dumb but I didn't realize before I bought them, these stay very wet on babies bottom. Definitely use with fleece liners or it's like a wet rag on their bum every time you change them :\

They are very effective at keeping shirts dry. Heads up that they are a bit itchy though. My first son had no problem with it and my second refused to wear them.

No, I haven't hung damp clothes on them, and for the same reason you ask the question. I'd love to see a definitive answer here.

They are warm and damp. You pour a solution with water and olive oil or just water over the wipes when you refill the warmer, and in a short time the wipes will be warm and damp, ready to use. They are much more comfortable for the baby at changing time than cold Wet Ones.

Because they don't have any microfiber on the outside they can be used right up against baby's skin. These are my absolute favorite doublers, they are super soft and incredibly absorbent for how thin they are.

Morgan P, These are very soft, and not likely to irritate delicate skin, but there is no "feel dry" layer, so baby will feel wet, and they will hold the moisture against the skin. As long as you're changing baby at least once or twice during the night, it's probably fine.

Yes they do - I'm currently using med/large gpants. Might have to double them over in the small ones. They scrunch up a little bit inside the plastic gpant, but not to the point where they touch the outside (fabric) part of the gdiaper. I just kind of hold it in place with my hand while I pull the diaper up and over kiddo's bottom.

Yes they do but it never bothers me or my baby. I bought these for a friend and she loves them too.

'Bought for husband, he does not wear anything under. It is made to keep you warm and "wick" away any moisture is you happen to sweat. He LOVES them. Sometimes wears a shirt or sweatshirt over! well worth the price. they wash really nice too!

Retained odor is only if the diaper is not adequately washed of all ammonia. And rashes from microfiber only occur if the material is directly touching the baby's sensitive skin because of it's over-drying tendency. This is not a problem with these diapers, because there is an added layer of microfleece on top of each absorbent flap to protect baby's skin.

No, and you don't want them to be. Safety comes from having your hand on the baby at all times when you are changing. There is a single, connected strap for securing the device to a changing table. This is the best purchase I have made, why? Babies pee a lot on the changing table and you don't need a load of laundry each time that happens. You want to wipe and go.

I typically wear cotton, but use these for traveling when I'll be doing a lot of outdoor activities like hiking, biking, etc. I wore both cotton & these in Costa Rica & these were far superior in wicking & drying after washing. My cotton ones were all sweaty & stuck to me. I'd guess these would prevent the yeasty beasties if you're sweating & continue wearing them more so than cotton.

You can put the bamboo side against the baby's skin...just not the microfiber side. These make for a great AI2-style diaper when paired with a cover, and you don't need as many covers this way compared to pockets!
725558
Yes. The only fabric you cannot use directly against the skin is microfiber. These are bamboo on top of microfiber so they would be fine against babies skin.

No they don't. They function pretty well in that regard. BUT they don't breathe!! Because of the plasticized backing, they retain moisture against your skin. I was disappointed in this purchase and ended up buying another batch of pads that I'm very happy with from a different supplier who didn't use any plastic in her liners.
