Overall Value - The best thing since indoor running water!

I like to use this anti-microbial fabric for inner lining in diapers and feminine pads. Bed wetters also will appreciate its odor releasing characteristic in bedding pads. It is so thirsty!
Overall Value - Silvadur

The Zorb silver is my favorite fabric, because it has silvadur antimicrobial embedded in it, it can help to reduce or even eliminate diaper rash!
Overall Value - I am very satisfied with this product.
-
I add this as an absorbency layer in under garments designed for large women. The antimicrobial silver works wonderfully to control the rashes that develop under the tummy fold.
Overall Value - Zorb Silver Rocks!

I was a little reluctant to purchase this product because there were no reviews. However, I am very glad I did! What attracts me most about this product is that "Zorb Silver is anti-microbial, helps control bad odor, creates long lasting freshness & contains no toxic chemicals, lead or phthalates." Because of it's absorbing qualities, it makes for a thin diaper! I followed the instructions of not pre-washing and had no problems with shrinkage. I used the Zorb Silver as the inner layer of my AIO diaper as well as a single layer for my snake soaker (sandwiched between one layer of diaper flannel and one layer of ProCool Jersey) that is then doubled in the diaper. That makes 3 thirsty, THIN, layers. The Zorb is easy to work with, although a little stiff before being washed. After it has been washed, it loses it's stiffness and becomes very comfortable. I highly recommend Zorb Silver.
