How It Works!
The Positively Posh line of breathable fleece diaper covers are made out of fleece and cotton knits. The fleece by its nature repels moisture. Cotton by its nature absorbs. So you say, how can this combination work?!

Fleece, since it does not absorb liquids, cannot transfer moisture through its fibers to the cotton knit.   The only thing that can cause the waist band to become damp is if it is touching a saturated diaper.

The fleece soaker, and all Positively Posh diaper covers, are designed to have a rise longer than most diapers within the same size category. If you are having trouble with moisture wicking you can take several actions.

Trouble Shooting Tips!
1.  Sizing Up: You can size up your diaper cover so that there is enough distance in the rise between the diaper and the waist  band.

2. Lower Rise: You can use a diaper with a lower rise, which will increase the distance between the waist band and the diaper.

3. Frequent Changes:  You might also need to change the diaper more often to prevent full saturation of the diaper.

Things to Keep In Mind!
1. As with all breathable systems, the absorbency of the diaper is paramount! In my opinion and daytime soaker should last between 1-2 hours. If the soaker does not last as long as you would like, I would suggest adding absorbency to the diaper.

2. Fleece can be reused depending on the saturation of the cover. If your fleece cover is retaining odors quickly, then I would recommend changing more often, or adding absorbency to the diaper.

3. Fabric softener. There is a debate on whether or not fabric softeners should be used on fleece. I personally love fabric softener and the way it works with fleece. However, others are not. Fabric softener has been said to increase the repellent nature of fleece. My advice would be to use fabric softener at your own personal discretion.
