Cloth Pad Fabric Comparisons:

Upper Fabrics(will go up against you)
Silk noil/Raw silk:Raw silk or Silk Noil, is a heavy weave of silk that has not been stripped. This heaviness of fibers come from a protein created by silk worms, called Sericin. Sericin is a natural protein and has proven anti-bacterial and anti-fungal qualities. Feels nubby in texture but not scratchy.
Organic Bamboo Velour(OBV):Bamboo velour is naturally anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and sustainable!!! It is very soft and silky.
Organic Cotton Velour: Super soft cotton fabric. Very breathable.
Organic Hemp Fleece: Hemp has antibacterial properties and is perfect for treating and preventing yeast infections. It is soft and textured. Hemp fleece starts off really fluffy but depending on the quality of your water can loose its 'fluffiness'.
Minkee: Polyester material. Very soft, cuddley and silky. Wicks moisture away from you so you feel dry. Is not absorbent on its own, the moisture only passes through. Does not hold stains.
Cotton Flannel : 100% cotton, soft but will become pilly from washing. The cheapest option for mama cloth material. Available in tons of colors and prints. Will hold stains easier because it is 100% cotton.
