There are various advantages to bamboo viscose including: moisture wicking, antibacterial, and hypoallergenic properties.

Closure Information
While there is slightly more of a learning curve when it comes to snaps, they are a great options due to their durability!
Snaps will not wear down over time - even after multiple washes! No need to worry about them getting caught or snagged on anything else that may be in the wash. You will never have to worry about your little one pulling off snap diaper. Since each snap is tight, it makes it difficult for your little one to undo.
Hook and Loop diapers are arguably the easiest to use! There is virtually no learning curve when it comes to this Velcro closure.
Hook and Loop is a great option as it is easy for grandparents, daycare, and babysitters to pick up on! Not to mention how simple is is to get a great fit each time.
Some cloth diapers need to be prepped before use. This is very common with natural fibers as they need to be washed several times before they're absorbent enough for use.
When buying diapers, make sure to check the individual product page for specific instructions.
For all cloth diaper products, it’s always recommended to wash anything new before use, to remove any dust from manufacturing and shipping.
