I'm making cloth diapers. It calls for wadding. What is wadding?? Also, what else can I use in place of it?

Answer 1

Wadding is made from a synthetic material such as Dacron -
the trademark name of a synthetic polyester textile fiber.
The function of the wadding is to prevent the cotton pieces from pressing against one another, i.e. to aerate and dry the diaper faster.

You can also use old, well-worn terry towels or old gauze or flannel diapers as wadding material in the interior of the cloth diaper you are making.

Answer 3

Wadding is absorbant padding- I reccomend recycled wool sweaters or blankets for diaper wadding, and also absortbant pads baby's sleeping area.

Answer 4

A lot of cloth diapers that I have has microfiber inside, it's super absorbant. You can buy microfiber towels at walmart really cheap! Just make sure that the microfiber doesn't come in contact with the babies skin, it sucks all the moisture out so that could be a problem. Good luck!

wad·ded, wad·ding.
–noun 1. a small mass, lump, or ball of anything: a wad of paper; a wad of tobacco.
2. a small mass of cotton, wool, or other fibrous or soft material, used for stuffing, padding, packing, etc.
3. a roll of something, esp. of bank notes.
4. Informal. a comparatively large stock or quantity of something, esp. money: He's got a healthy wad salted away.
5. a plug of cloth, tow, paper, or the like, used to hold the powder or shot, or both, in place in a gun or cartridge.
6. British Dialect. a bundle, esp. a small one, of hay, straw, etc.
–verb (used with object) 7. to form (material) into a wad.
8. to roll tightly (often fol. by up): He wadded up his cap and stuck it into his pocket.
9. to hold in place by a wad: They rammed and wadded the shot into their muskets.
10. to put a wad into; stuff with a wad.
11. to fill out with or as if with wadding; stuff; pad: to wad a quilt; to wad a speech with useless information.
This is what i found in the dictionary. I dont really know what else you could use in place of it. It's basically a kind of stuffing. I guess to lock the moisture in so that it doesnt leak through the cloth on the outside. I dont know what else you could use.
