Inner Fabric Choices

As of September 24, 2008 all scuttlebutts bamboo is Oeko-Tex 100 certified as well as 100% certified organic! Want to know what that means? Click here.

Bamboo is a fabulous choice for diapering.
It's antimicrobial and hypoallergenic, so it's perfect for those sensitive bums, and it's 3-4 times more absorbent than cotton. Plus it's 100% biodegradable and a quick growing sustainable resource.

We have several different bamboo fabrics for you to choose from when building your custom diapers. Below are some of the pro's & con's as I've experienced them about each one....



Bamboo Velour

Squishy, silky, and luxuriously soft with a deep pile, it makes a heavenly diaper. Super easy to pin, they just slide right through with no effort. I have not experienced any pin holes on my bamboo velour. Very stretchy.
One drawback is that it doesn't stay so silky soft after multiple washings; it tends to feel more like terry cloth after a while. Still soft, just not as luscious.


Bamboo Fleece
Fleece doesn't have the thick, silky fibers that velour has, however, this is unlike any fleece you've ever felt. It's soft and drapey, light weight and trim. The -most- absorbent of all the bamboo fabrics. An excellent choice for heavy wetters & night-time diapers.
Bamboo fleece is not as stretchy as the velour and terry. Pins will leave holes. Snappi's are recommended.

Bamboo Terry
Thick, soft loops make the terry nearly as absorbent as the fleece. Very stretchy and does not get pin holes.


Colored Cotton Velour-limited availablity
Can't go wrong with cotton for diapers...it's been used since, well, forever! Cotton velour is soft and luxurious, but not as silky as bamboo velour and it doesn't have the same deep pile. It stays soft through multiple washings, and it's durability is proven.
