Question about microfiber!

[TheBatMom]

Everyone always says that it's a big no-no to have microfiber right next to the skin. I've always listened to this, but I'm curious as to why. So what is the exact reason that this is frowned upon? Thanks everyone!

MF is very drying to the skin. My DS actually got a blistery rash when DC got an insert flipped up the wrong direction. I don't send diapers that that can happen to anymore.

Microfiber, not to be confused with micro suede. All my microfiber inserts have a stay dry side which is OK against the baby's skin, just don't put it on upside down. The inserts you stuff in pockets etc... do not have a stay dry side and shouldn't be used on their own. For some reason I confused the two when I was learning about cloth and didn't realize most MF inserts have a stay dry side that's MS and meant to be against the skin.

99% of my MF inserts are only MF. I have 3 that have a stay dry side-but they're for an AI2 system, not pockets

Why the heck doesn't Flip just make their inserts stay dry on both sides?

This would be brilliant.
