Cloth Diapers 101: What is a Stay Dry Doubler?

What is a stay dry doubler and why would I need to use it?

A stay dry doubler is an absorbent insert made of a layer of fleece, a fabric that will wick moisture away from your baby's bottom, as well as two layers of absorbent microfiber. These are ideal for those who use natural fiber inserts like prefolds or cotton fitteds, but need additional absorbency at night and a way to keep the moisture away from baby's bottom.

"I am absolutely thrilled with this product! We use prefolds with Andrew during the day and its always bothered me to know that his little bum was wet when his diaper got wet. With these doublers, he stays dry! Thanks to the Stay Dry Doublers, I may actually be able to use prefolds at night again..."

The Stay Dry Doubler is different from a stay dry liner because it has microfiber to absorb. Stay dry liners are simply a layer of fleece to wick moisture away without added absorbency.

Stay Dry Doublers are also a bit different from the bumGenius Diaper Doublers, also known as Newborn Inserts. The bumGenius Diaper Doublers are only microfiber and have no layer of fleece, so we do not recommend placing a bumGenius Diaper Doubler next to baby's bottom. bumGenius Diaper Doublers are great for inside a bumGenius 4.0 or other pocket style diaper.
