Fabric technology has come a long way since we first started making pads in 2008 and it’s time to take advantage of it!  Zorb is still by far the superior absorbent core fabric but waterproof fabrics have improved greatly.

When we first started Tree Hugger Cloth Pads we used generic fleece found in any local fabric store.  Then we upgraded to Windpro fleece which is higher quality which means longer-lasting pads.  Now we have upgraded again!  The biggest difference is that it is waterproof rather than water-resistant and it’s thinner!  We have been working on this for months and sent out dozens of prototypes (with different backing options) for people to test for us.  Keeping a grippy backing was very important to our testers.  The feedback was overwhelmingly in favour of this Softshell fleece over our current Windpro and also over an even thinner “PUL-type” backing that we also considered. Our testers were excited for the extra security this new softshell backing provides as well as it making the pads thinner!
