Tazzy Tots: FAQ

The Tazzy Mat is made from 100% OEKO-TEX® Certfied Cotton. Both top and bottom layers are cotton. In the middle, it has a thin layer of TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) which is a waterproof backing to stop any liquid from soaking through.

The Tazzy Mat can hold up to 1.5L of liquid. A toddler typically pees about 50-150 mL at one time. Newborns, even lesser.

So this gives sufficient coverage for leakages, blowouts, or while toilet training.

You can wipe off any solids off the top. For the liquids, since they are abosrbent fabric mats, they're not wipeable like a plastic mat or foam mat. Liquid is meant to soak into them.

However, they are specially engineered with circular hex weave design to dry fast - so a machine wash and hang dry should get them up and running pretty quickly. Within hours.

Yes. Unlike other waterproof play and change mats, we use OEKO-TEX® cotton for both top and bottom layers. We wanted anything that touched our bubs to be free from nasties!

The top layer is houndstooth printed and the bottom layer is the same color in absolute. Waterproof core is the middle layer so they're waterproof either way.

Tip: some people (me!) like to use the back side for messy play!

We use TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) as the waterproof layer in our mats.

Unlike traditional plastics like PVC, TPU is non-toxic, free from chemicals like pthalates and highly durable (it can last way longer than other waterproof sheets). TPU can also be recycled or repurposed, helping to lower the overall environmental footprint.

TPU is 100% waterproof so be rest assured of no leaks whatsoever.

This is what took us one year to get the fabric engineering right. Our mission was to achieve fast drying technology using natural materials like cotton, unlike other brands that use polyester and microfiber.

We engineered the circular hex weave design technology that gives our cotton mats the natural ability to wick moisture faster and dry faster while retaining it's hypoallergenic and waterproof abilities.

PS: you can spot the little circular hex weaves in the mat if you look closely.

The Tazzy Mat is suitable for newborns right through until your child doesn't need it any more, usually 5-6 year olds when they are fully toilet trained.

The Tazzy Mat can be washed normally in a washing machine (cold recommended) and can be line-dried. The mat dries within hours if line-dried. The Mat can also go into the dryer on a low heat.

Most mats in the market grow mould because they're stuffed with padding or sealed with plastic coatings that trap moisture inside. The Tazzy Mat has no padding or plastic coatings at all. The Tazzy Mat is just 2 breathable cotton layers with a thin TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) barrier sandwiched in the middle. There's nowhere for damp to hide.

To keep it mould-free, all you need to do is:
- Wash after accidents (don't leave it sitting wet for days)
- Make sure it's dry beofre folding or storing
