Will this fabric soak up baby's pee?

Every diaper has to have some absorbent fabric, for the obvious reason, to soak up urine. But people can be unsure whether a fabric will absorb. This is why we classify our fabrics as "stay dry" or "absorbent" - to help you find what you need.

Here's your quick cheat sheet:

If it is an natural fiber, it will absorb.
  • cotton
  • hemp
  • bamboo
  • viscose or rayon
  • combinations of these

If it is a synthetic fiber, it will not absorb.
  • polyester
  • nylon

If there's a rule, there's gotta be an exception, right? Here it is:
microfiber terry - made from synthetic fibers and yet very absorbent
