ABSORBENCY
Fitted
- Fitted diapers have three different materials used to construct the diaper shell. The inside that touches baby's skin is a velour, the hidden middle layer is organic bamboo fleece(OBF) which is an absorbent material and the outside which is either a velour or a printed fabric. Fitted diapers are breathable diapers and absorbent but are not waterproof. Many families have their children to go cover less and change when the outside of the diaper becomes damp. To be complete waterproof we recommend a wool cover.
Hybrid
- Hybrids are similar to fitteds, except instead of a hidden layer of OBF in the shell it’s poly fleece. The poly-fleece allows the diaper to absorb differently than a fitted diaper as the fleece deflects the liquid back towards the inside of the diaper dispersing the liquid throughout the diaper, rather than saturating through all layers. This allows the outside of the diaper to remain dryer longer. Hybrids are completely breathable but they are not entirely waterproof. Many are able to wear cover less , since the outside does not become immediately damp with a pee. To be completely waterproof we recommend a wool cover.
Each kind of absorbency servers a different purpose. Fitted diapers are the most natural and absorbent, great for naps or long car rides. Hybrid don’t become damp on the outside as quickly as a fitted and are great for day time wear and small outings. Both absorbency can be worn without a cover for a period of time before they become damp. To be completely waterproof we recommend a wool cover.
Inserts and Boosters
Toddler, One Size, Petite all come with a double layer snap in insert. The insert has 4 layers of heavy organic bamboo fleece topped with matching velour.
Newborn diapers come with a lay in insert and booster system. Both insert and booster consist of 2 layers of heavy organic bamboo fleece topped with matching velour.
Heavy wetter, no problem! You can purchase a matching print or velour topped booster with an additional 2 layers of heavy organic bamboo fleece.
MATERIALS
- OBF- Organic Bamboo Fleece - Is the most absorbent materials used in Lilly & Frank diapers. It is a bamboo viscose and organic cotton blend.
- OBV- Organic Bamboo Velour is a super soft and silky. It is typically a undyed natural cream color. OBV does change over time, as you wash your diapers you will notice the OBV appearance becoming more towel like, or Sherpa. Sherpa diapers are actually more absorbent than brand new velour! Occasionally, we offer dyed OBV, which provides the opportunity of soft silky obv in bright beautiful colors. It is a bamboo, organic cotton spandex blend.
- CV- Cotton Velour and organic cotton velour is offered in a variety of colors. It is a cotton, spandex blend.
Leg Finishes
Lilly & Frank cloth diapers come in a few different types of leg finish. Most of these are available through our custom order fabric groups while the more traditional serged, comfort serged and turned are offered at stockings. Edge finishings all come down to individual preference, to find out which your prefer I recommend trying one of each.
Why do L&F diapers cost what they do?
Materials. I use only the highest quality of materials I can find. From the label to the organic bamboo fleece, velour and prints my main focus is quality first. Materials are shipped in from all over the world. There is fabric cost, shipping, duties etc.
Preparing materials. I preshrink all prints to avoid wing curl and to keep L&F diapers looking beautiful even after many washes. I prewash the organic bamboo fleece 4x's before the diapers is constructed to insure proper shrinkage AND to open the fibers so that L&F diapers are ready to wear when it arrives to you.
Fair wages-locally made. L&F diapers are handmade in Canada from local and imported goods. I have a wonderful team of women who works along side me, they are invested in their work and they care about that they do. From the first cut to the last snap it takes a few hours to create just 1 diaper. When you purchase Lilly&Frank products you are supporting Canadian jobs, handmade Canadian products and fair wages.
