Muslin cotton and regular cotton can both work well in baby products, but they serve different needs. Muslin is typically lighter and more breathable, while regular cotton constructions can provide structure and durability.
When Muslin Works Well
Muslin is useful for bibs, towels and swaddles where softness, airflow and comfortable layering matter. Multiple muslin layers can improve absorbency while keeping the handfeel gentle.
When Regular Cotton Works Well
Regular cotton constructions can be suitable for products that need a more stable shape, specific surface texture or stronger structure.
