Pocket |
The best way to describe a pocket nappy is an AIO with an opening like a pocket across the top of the back, essentially a shell with a stay dry inner and a waterproof outer. These nappies can be stuffed with your choice of absorbent material such as a flat nappy or a prefold. Generally the manufacture or reseller will recommend or suggest what to use inside the pocket. |
Pop!-Cover |
The outer shell required for the Pop!-Nap to snap into. |
Pop!-Nap |
A pocket that snaps in and out of a cover. Very economical as you don't need to buy as many covers as Pop!-Nap's. Still needs an insert inside. |
Prefold |
A flat nappy that already has the layers built-in. Such as 4 layers on the sides and 6 layers down the middle. These would be referred to as 4x6x4. Generally, these nappies get folded into thirds and laid inside a waterproof wrap. They are very versatile as they can be used as the absorbent material inside a pocket nappy, or as a additional booster inside a fitted nappy. They also come in various sizes from prem to toddler, to provide a better fit inside different size covers. |
PUL |
Stands for poly-urethane laminate which is a special coating applied to fabric to make it water resistant. Although the breathable aspect of the fabric means air can circulate, it doesn't mean you will be able to draw in enough air to fill your lungs and breathe if you hold it over your own mouth or nose. |
