They come out of the washing machine almost dry and need a quick line dry or a five minute blast in the dryer to finish them off.
Why is microfibre a quick dry fabric? If you looked at the material under a microscope you'd see that there're squillions of strands that make up the yarn. The fluid is held between each strand rather than being absorbed into the strand itself. This means that during the spin cycle almost all of it is spun out. Much like your polar fleece jumper.
We knit the microfibre yarn onto the base rather than weave it to ensure that it does not shrink which means the microfibre nappies will last and last.
The nappy has a velcro fastening as I found that using poppers was just a pain when you are doing night-time changes in the dark. As long as the velcro is closed back onto its laundry tabs before it goes into the wash it will keep doing what it is supposed to do for years. We also have a unique cross-over velcro tab designed to fit your baby from very tiny through all the shape changes they will go through till they get to the stage that they do not need nappies any more. (Yes, this does happen eventually!).
We have added elastic to the back seam - something that many nappy designers miss out. I think that this is because they have not had to manage an explosion when every thing shoots up baby's back.
I have also found the softest elastic to use around the waist and leg of the nappy. This baby-soft elastic along with the adjustable waist band will stop any rubbing and chaffing as I hate seeing those red marks on a little one. The elastic will last for years. Ensure you use the dry bucket system and your nappies will last for baby after baby. Dirty Littlelamb nappies only need to be stored in a dry bucket until you have enough for a load. There's no need to soak nappies anymore as washing machines, detergents and nappy materials have advanced so much since Grandma's day.

A guide to the different fabrics Littlelamb produce...
COTTON NAPPIES are the great all rounder. They're robust, will last successive babies and have good absorption. All our organic cottons carry GOTS certification. With careful laundering they should last 3-4 babies.
BAMBOO NAPPIES are more absorbent than cotton enabling us to make a slimmer nappy whilst still keeping good absorption. They are also so, so silky and soft and with careful laundering will last two babies.
MICROFIBRE NAPPIES are made from polyester fleece and are the quick-dry nappies of the washable world. Like a fleece jumper they come out of the washer almost dry. With careful laundering they should last three babies.
POCKET NAPPIES are made from a combination of Oeko-tex bamboo, polyknit and microfleece fabrics - giving you the ultimate fabric nappy. With careful laundering they will see you through to potty training.
