Flannel, cloth in general and another poop incident
Posted: Sat Apr 20, 2024 2:05 pm
Hey,
So, as it stands, I'm a bit confused as to whether flannel is more absorbent than birdseye, gauze or twill. The man I spoke to on the phone swore up and down that flannel was actually 4 times more absorbent than birdseye or gauze and that is why it takes longer to dry. He compared the latter two to the chairs that stack easy but are not that comfortable. Yet ive seen other people comment on here that gauze or birdseye seemed to be as absorbent if not more absorbent than flanel. I don't know, I just felt like trying something different to see if it would be useful for the days my bladder goes haywire.
I figured something out, that is, if I am using cloth on a day where I have more than one wetting, If I change when wet, I am just making more work for myself later. Change when wet is most ideal with midrange disposables, not cloth diapers, because the more you change the more you have to wash later.
In closing, I had another incident where I pooped myself. I made it to the bathroom to poop, but not before some of the poop escaped into the diaper. There were some streaks as well as a fully formed turd in the diaper, but quite at bit of the fecal matter also made it to the toilet. So I guess its an even draw.
Anyway.. I gotta go
Peace out!
