Mother-ease™ Fabrics

New! Mother-ease cotton One-size nappies are now available in rainbow colours.

Mother-ease pride themselves on their fabrics. Both the soft, stretchy, knit terry and the soft, waterproof laminated polyester used for the Mother-ease™ nappies and covers are custom made especially for Mother-ease.

Nappy Fabric

This knit terry is available in cotton/polyester and bamboo/polyester and is knit in such a way that only 100% natural fibre (cotton or bamboo) touches the baby's skin. A small amount (15%) of polyester is included in the fabric base to enhance the durability. This makes them the ideal nappy fabrics - soft and natural on baby's skin, yet able to withstand at least 2-3 years of hard wear and washing. The cotton fabric is available in white, unbleached or seven fabulous rainbow baby colours. The bamboo fabric is naturally beige.

Organic Nappy Fabric

Mother-ease's 100% certified organic cotton fabric is grown in the USA and knit in Canada. It is beautifully soft, environmentally friendly and totally safe for your baby. The fabric is unbleached and naturally beige. Choose this fabric if you want only 100% cotton nappies. The fabric is easy to wash and durable.
