Unique, three-dimensional engineered dimple pattern provides greater retention, superior hold, faster distribution of moisture and less leaking under compression

Instantaneous Absorption

Our fabric is so absorbent that it will almost instantaneously absorb ten times its weight. It also soaks up moisture 20 times faster than many other materials, including bamboo, cotton, and hemp knits.

You don’t need to wash or dry the fabric to activate the absorbency. Our Ready-AbZORB technology means the super absorbency is already activated.

Two layers of our Stay Dry Dimple LITE Print Fabric will replace six flannel layers, four French terry layers, and three fleece fabric layers. You can double or triple your layers for supercharged super absorbency.

No Super Absorbent Polymers

Our Zorb fabrics don’t use SAPs (super absorbent polymers). Because we don’t use chemicals to make our fabrics absorbent, their absorbency won’t fade over time. Indeed, the fabric’s absorbency will last for the product's lifetime.

Ideal Uses

This fabric works well for many of the everyday products we use, for ourselves and those we love.

Use it for bed liners, bibs, burp cloths, cage liners, cloth diapers, diaper inserts, dish mats, dog diapers, face masks, fitness wear, menstrual pads, mop pads, nursing pads, period panties, pet beds, pet potty pads, washcloths, and yoga towels.

Our fabrics will work for you whether you’re getting sweaty or cleaning up after your baby. Not sure which material you should use? Order a swatch before you commit!

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

Important Note about Absorbency in 3D & 4D Zorb fabrics:
These fabrics are designed to be absorbent and made without the use of any chemicals during manufacturing. Our Ready-AbZorb process helps eliminate the need for pre-washing for absorption and also reduces the shrinkage. However the fabrics are made in large batch sizes on industrial machines and sometimes the fabric may not absorb as desired from when you receive it, or sometimes after cutting and sewing. In such cases, we recommend running the fabric through a hot wash and medium dry cycle; this will help remove any handling residues and activate the super absorbent fibers that might have been affected by handling.
