So I decided to make some flannel mama cloth!
I have been playing around with mama cloth for a long as I’ve been making cloth diapers and decided a while ago that I do not like wings, snaps or touchtape on my pads. I found that polar fleece not only provided a water repellent barrier (through use in diapers) but also held the pad in place. I wasn’t sure how flannel would hold, but I went ahead and made one without wings to test it out.
Turns out this is like the best fabric I could have ever used! Because of the way I wash it (with no fabric softeners or harsh detergents) it tends to have a good amount of static cling!
Over time I have come to the realization that mama cloth, for me at least, does not need a waterproof barrier. Weather I’m using a fleece/microfiber combination or just layers of flannel; I’ve yet to have a leak. So I went with flannel outer; top and bottom; and 4 – 6 layers flannel inner (depending on thickness of flannel).
I ended up with 13 new pads! Yay!
