Mother-ease Specialised Fabrics

News! Mother-ease cotton One-size and Sandy's 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.

    Cotton Nappy Fabric

    This cotton terry is specially knit with only cotton touching your baby's delicate skin, polyester is knit into the base of the fabric to provide strength, durability and shrinkage control. The result is a very stretchy, comfortable and reliable product. Our Cotton Terry is available in its natural unbleached colour and a range of fun rainbow colours.

    The colored fabrics and bindings are custom dyed using low impact synthetic dyes. Low impact dyes have been classified by the Oeko Tex 100 standard as eco-friendly. Low impact dyes do not contain toxic chemicals, require less rinsing and have a high absorption rate in fabric (less waste in the dyeing process).

    This is the dye of choice for many organic clothing manufacturers that want a diverse set of colors.

    The inside panel remains white for hygienic reasons (stool examination and urine concentration levels need to be comparable between nappy changes).

    Our Cotton Terry is the most durable fabric we offer.

    Bamboo Nappy Fabric

    This terry fabric is specially knit with 70% Bamboo / 30% Cotton touching your baby's delicate skin. Polyester is knit into the base of the fabric to provide strength, durability and shrinkage control. Our Bamboo Terry is available in its natural unbleached finish.

    The bamboo used in our yarn is a man made fiber using the viscose process. It is made from organically grown bamboo and the factory producing it follows strict environmental standards (ISO14001:2004) as well as employee health standards (OHSAS18001:1999). This yarn has been tested free of harmful substances according to Oeko Tex Standard 100 for baby articles.

    Organic Cotton 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.



Leak-proof Covers Fabric

The leak proof fabric used in our covers, All-in-one nappies, betwetter pants and training pants is a soft 100% polyester knit. It's coated on one side with a thin layer ot polyurethane laminate (PUL) making it effectively waterproof. This fabric is machine washable and very quick to dry.
