I ordered some zorb online last summer and have yet to find the time to see it into a liner. Has anyone used this? Can it be washed alone if I just layer it beneath my fleece or will it completely unravel?
Any advice would be appreciated
 
I'll be following this thread too.
I am thinking of sewing my own liners (and lap time pads for a certain Mr Eddi) and am still undecided whether it is worth paying the extra to order zorb from the UK.
 
ive 5 ready made fleece liners with zorb,find it is the most efficient material at absorbing moisture quickly and absorbs a large amount of moisture evenly through out the liner.you do need to use fleece both on fop of zorb and underneath.it is not good to use alone.i love this material.
 
Do you sew your layers? I fear that neither I nor my little sewing machine will be able to handle that thick of a chunk
 
i buy these liners ready made in the uk,apparently thre is a company in the US that uses zorb in there liners.zorb does not seem very thick.
 
I use Zorb for the liners I make for my own piggies and for The Piggy Lounge customer orders. I also use it for the cuddle cups piddle pads. I have never used it solo in a cage so not sure it would unravel or how it would perform but it works great when sewn in. It's quite lightweight which helps with washing and drying and as absorbent as a double layer of cotton batting which is what I used before (in liners).
 
I have used zorb without sewing into liners, and they've held up fine. Just don't wash with anything that's covered with hay. Once hay is stuck on it, it's very hard to get off.

If you're in the US, you could buy liners from piggybedspread. I'm sure they use zorb in their liners.

:D I use Zorb in my mini bed pads in the Trixie boxes, in the round fleecy hides and under the wooden huts. So I've got a LOT of Zorb! Zorb does not shrink, fray, rip or stretch. It is amazing stuff. It is easy to wash and dries very quickly. The Zorb is not sewn into the mini pads, but can be removed for washing separately.

So you wash it alone? Does it hold up?
