I forgot to specify on my BSRB order...which one do you think?  DS is prone to yeast, so I'm thinking fleece?

 ETA:  I got 2 diapers today, so I could also do one of each?

DS born 8/2010 - preliminary stages of SN int'l adoption - fur mama to 2 shelter dogs;  cloth diapering, babywearing, EBFing mama

    Only microfleece is stay dry.  Hemp and bamboo fleece are not (they are often used in soaker layers and the hidden layer in fitteds.  The bamboo velour is a soft, silky feel, while the bamboo fleece is more nubby, but still soft and can be put against the skin too. 

    Velour is the most common in a layer next to baby's skin.

    I'm pretty sure microfleece is stay-dry because it's made of synthetic materials, not because it's fleece.  It's going to behave very, very differently in a diaper than natural, absorbent materials like bamboo fleece are.  I have a tendency to forget this and think "stay dry barrier" whenever someone mentions fleece, and that's not true (case in point: the bamboo fleece inserts I made work great).
