As the saying goes, "the new is a well-forgotten old", that is, very often new ideas are firmly forgotten by the old. For example, the idea of reusable diapers, seemingly long and completely discarded, has now acquired a new life. Of course, today's reusable diapers are radically different from old ones made from gauze, which were used by our parents.
Each manufacturer produces reusable diapers according to their technology. However, the basic principle is always the same: the diaper is made up of panties and several absorbent layers. As they are most often used silk liners, liners from bio-cotton and microfiber. There is also an intermediate layer that keeps the absorbent layer in place and increases its absorbency. Both disposable and reusable diapers have their minuses and pluses.
