There are many questions and options out there when making the choice whether to used Modern Cloth Nappy or disposable. Do you buy flats or MCN; snaps or Velcro; front snaps or side snaps; cover or no cover. The list goes on and on and can be a confronting and confusing time for most.
What works for one may not work for another, baby’s are all different and nappies fit differently. What works for Mitch doesn’t work as well with Moo. I found also what worked when Mitch was a new born doesn’t work in the same way now he’s a toddler.
There are so many different choices and trying to get your head around it can be daunting to say the least, what size to get, what type of material is best etc.
The various components for cloth nappies are made from a variety of fabrics. Bamboo, cotton, hemp or fleece are the main ones, with PUL or wool often used for covers. PUL is a breathable polyurethane 
laminated fabric that provides a water barrier. Wool is lanolised to provide water resistance, and needs airing rather than washing when wet. However, these covers will need relanolising every couple of weeks.
The type of fabric used affects drying time. Natural fibers usually take longer to dry than synthetics. If you prefer natural fibers, you’ll want to make sure you have enough nappies to get through a few days of wet weather – or get a tumble-drier. Check the laundry-care information before you buy.
