Our products don’t contain PFOS, PFOA, lead, dioxins, heavy metals, BPA, or any kind of phthalates, including DEHP, DBP, BBP, DINP, DIDP, and DnOP. You can rest assured knowing your skin won’t be exposed to these chemicals. Read Blog Article
This fabric features SILVADUR Antimicrobial to keep bacteria, fungi, or algae from growing on the fabric. It also controls odors and keeps fabric smelling fresh.
Multiple tests have proven that SILVADUR is safe for the skin; it’s been tested on bamboo, cotton, and polyester. The testing used 10 times the recommended amount of SILVADUR to make sure it’s safe.
Two layers of Zorb will work as well as 8 layers of flannel, 6 layers of french terry, and 5 layers of organic fleece.
This fabric cannot be washed before stitching or serging it between 2 layers of fabric.
Chemicals (like super absorbent polymers) aren’t used in Zorb products, so their super absorbency lasts as long as the fabric does.
CPSIA certified, meeting stringent standards by the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission on lead and phthalates and flammability.
All Zorb fabrics are designed to absorb more over time. Using multiple layers of Zorb can increase how much your product absorbs. You can make your product as absorbent as you’d like.
This one-of-a-kind, super absorbent fabric captures and thoroughly absorbs moisture, making it comfortable to use for any purpose. It’s also hypoallergenic, so you’re less likely to have an allergic reaction. Antimicrobial silver has been tested on bamboo, cotton, and polyester to ensure it’s safe for consumer use. It reduces the risk of bacterial growth and acts as an antiperspirant for your fabric.
Our fabrics are designed to be super absorbent so you can create the products you need without needing to constantly replace them! We make our fabrics with the most absorbent fibers available. The fibers in the fabric are then twisted together to create an even more absorbent fabric.
This fabric is designed to be sewn in between layers, so you can produce a super absorbent product that matches your brand.
This fabric is ideal for use in bibs, cage liners, cloth diapers, diaper inserts, dish mats, dog diapers, face masks, activewear, menstrual pads, nursing pads, bed pads, soakers, period panties, pet potty pads, and washcloths.
The absorbency will allow the fabric to soak up more and leave fewer wet spots. If you need a fabric that will last for years, Zorb Original Silver Fabric is perfect.

☀️ Read about UV Protection in Fabrics - Your Total UPF Rating Guide
Important Note about UPF Ratings:
Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) indicates how much UV radiation (both UVB and UVA) a fabric allows to reach your skin. For example, a UPF 50 fabric blocks 98 % of the sun’s rays and allows 2% (1/50th) to penetrate, thus reducing your exposure risk significantly. A UPF 30 fabric blocks 97% of UV rays and allows roughly 3% of UV transmission. UPF 15 indicates that the fabric blocks roughly 93% of UV rays and allows about 7% of available UV radiation to pass through.
UPF 10 to 30 = Fair Protection
UPF 30 to 50 = Good Protection
UPS 50+ = Excellent Protection

We strive to provide high-quality fabrics suitable for a diverse range of applications. It is important to note, however, that we do not perform absorption testing on our fabrics. The absorbency of any fabric can be significantly influenced by the design and construction of the final product in which it is used.
Key Points:
Product Design Influence: The ultimate absorption capacity of a fabric in a finished product depends heavily on the product's specific design and construction. Variations in design can lead to significant differences in performance.
Recommendation for Testing: We strongly recommend that customers conduct their own testing to determine the absorption characteristics of our fabrics in conjunction with their product designs. This testing should consider all elements of product design and the interaction between different materials.
Interactions with Other Materials: The performance of our absorbent fabrics can be affected by the use of additional layers or materials. For instance:
Variability in Performance: Due to the myriad of factors that can influence the absorbency of a fabric within a specific product design—including material combinations, construction techniques, and external conditions—we cannot guarantee specific results without proper testing.

Zorb Original Silver Fabric is a wonderful product.
I cut the fabric into 3 inch strips, and use the strips in my belly poouch skin folds, to reduce inflamation caused by friction, humidity, and sweat.
Zorb Silver fabric relieves my itchy, burning skin folds.
I've tried other moisture-wicking fabric with antimicrobial silver, but these small packets are very expensive. I use Zorb Silver fabric because it is less expensive, and helps me feel better - no itching and no odor.
Thanks for a great product !
Easy to order, quick to ship and a perfectly packaged product. Love the Zorb I ordered and so pleased with Wazoodles Fabric
First time buying and using Zorb, absolutely love it! I am making reusable panty liners and it’s perfect! Will definitely purchase again.
I love this product! I've been using this for years now in my ginuea pig cage pads! It's amazing to have 6 little guys and have no smell! Even during the Nov. earthquake where I had to go 4 days with no cage maintenance there was NO SMELL! I will order this for as long as I have pets!
I like to use this anti-microbial fabric for inner lining in diapers and feminine pads. Bed wetters also will appreciate its odor releasing characteristic in bedding pads. It is so thirsty!
I was a little reluctant to purchase this product because there were no reviews. However, I am very glad I did! What attracts me most about this product is that "Zorb Silver is anti-microbial, helps control bad odor, creates long lasting freshness & contains no toxic chemicals, lead or phthalates." Because of it's absorbing qualities, it makes for a thin diaper! I followed the instructions of not pre-washing and had no problems with shrinkage. I used the Zorb Silver as the inner layer of my AIO diaper as well as a single layer for my snake soaker (sandwiched between one layer of diaper flannel and one layer of ProCool Jersey) that is then doubled in the diaper. That makes 3 thirsty, THIN, layers. The Zorb is easy to work with, although a little stiff before being washed. After it has been washed, it loses it's stiffness and becomes very comfortable. I highly recommend Zorb Silver.
This Zorb will be used for charity for Girls who have nothing personal tho use for there monthly periods ..They cannot go to school or if the do product use is mud straw rags any thing they find ..So our hearts are in this project and Try to raise donations to be given to purchase this product ..Thank you for having such an antibacterial wonderful product in bulk to do many pads it takes a lot of work …50 yards does 1000 pads ..3rd each girl gives us 333 girls product
