Polyurethane laminate (PUL) is a soft, polyester knit fabric laminated with a layer of waterproof polyurethane on the back. Unless they are made with wool or synthetic fleece, most waterproof cloth diapers made today contain a layer of PUL.
PUL is made in 2 thicknesses: 1 mil and 2 mil. Otter Babies products are made using 1 mil PUL, which is breathable and flexible, yet provides excellent water resistance. The laminate side is wipe-clean and can be used to line diaper covers; however the PUL laminate should not be in direct contact with skin as it can be uncomfortable (like sitting on vinyl). Elasticized PUL with the laminate side facing out should never be used against skin--as it may cause a rash. This fabric is made in the USA.
1 mil PUL is recommended for: cloth diapers, nursing pads, menstrual pads, training pants and mattress covers.
2 mil PUL is recommended for: diaper pail liners, wetbags and water-resistant tablecloths or shower curtains.
