Bleached
versus Unbleached
Cloth Diapers Bleached diapers are
white
because the cotton yarn was bleached in the factory
prior to weaving the material. Cotton is naturally an
ivory or light brown color. The bleaching process
turns the cotton fibers white and also removes the
natural cotton oils in the fibers. In doing so, the
strength of the fibers is reduced and the resulting
woven material is slightly less durable. The bleaching
process can lead to additional pollutants being
released to the environment through airborne and
waterborne emissions. Recent improvements in bleaching
technology have reduced but not eliminated this
impact.
Because
unbleached
diapers retain much of their natural cotton oils in
the fiber matrix, they are softer and more durable
than bleached cloth diapers. Unbleached cloth diapers
must be washed at least 2-3 times after you receive
them before they become absorbent. We recommend
washing the diapers in hot sudsy water and drying them
on high heat and repeating as many times as necessary
for the diapers to become absorbent. You can test the
absorbency by making a pocket of the diaper and slowly
pouring 1/2 cup of liquid into the diaper. If it pools
and does not soak in fairly quickly, keep washing.
Depending upon the detergent you use and the hardness
of your water and the natural variations in cotton
materials, you may have to wash these up to 5 times
before they become fully absorbent. Do not, under any
circumstance, use fabric softener as this causes the
fabric to be coated and thus repels moisture. Despite
the added effort necessary to break in these diapers,
they are extremely popular and by most accounts, well
worth it.
This fitted diaper is available in unbleached fabric
only.
