Wicking sounds strange lol!

 

[Eala]

Think of wicking like in terms of candles - the flame moves down the candle wick In terms of fabric/nappies, wicking is when wetness moves from the inside of the nappy, to the outside, either because of compression, or the outer fabric being tucked under, etc etc. It tends to be in cotton-outer nappies, things like Issy Bear Day Babies. Basically, somehow the moisture gets past the waterproof layer, and it ends up spreading across the outer fabric. Sometimes it can happen with vests and trousers too, wetness can wick onto them as well.

How does the wet get through the PUL though? I sold our Mini Lala's because they kept doing this

I can't decide if this is the *best* thread ever...or the worst......

 

[SBB]

It's the best thread.

The wicking gets through, because the cotton is absorbant and it is next to the inner around the leg. The waterproof PUL is in the middle, but because they meet at the edge around the legs, it seeps into it basically.

with a PUL outer it won't soak up the pee like cotton does, otherwise they would be the same.

Does that make ANY sense at all?!?!

[flubdub]

Oh I see. So it doesn't like, magically morph through the PUL (yes- that is what I was imagining). It comes from the sides?

 

[SBB]

Yeh it just comes through where the fleece inner meets the cotton outer at the legs. No it doesn't magically morph through
