What type of velcro is this?

Do you know that kind of velcro that doesn't snag on things? I have a lot of Carters bibs and a few other things that have it -- it's not scratchy and it only attaches to what it's supposed to. It doesn't hold on to lint, hair, etc.

I was just thinking about how wonderful a pocket diaper made with that would be. But I don't even know what to search for because I don't know what it's called. Anyone know of any diapers made with it?

If I knew how, I would totally convert my pockets to this!

ETA: I know velcro is a brand name. So, what "hook & loop" fastener is this?Wink

    hmm. sounds interesting.  Some of our bibs have something that seems like it might be this. But I still get laundry chains of bibs for some reason, so I don't know if it would be that helpful with pockets.

    I guess you could always cut up the bibs and sew those parts onto your pockets. :) 

     

    Maybe someone at a fabric store would know?

    I'm thinking you're talking about touch tape. It's kind of stiff and doesn't have the 'fluffier' quality of Aplix. You definitely can find Touch Tape diapers out there but I think only wahm made diapers - I don't think I've seen any brand name ones.

    Yep, I bet they would know at JoAnns.

    I really love bGs except for the quality of the velcro tabs and microfiber stink. Lately I've been stuffing them with hemp, which solves the stink problem, but I still get annoyed with the tabs.
