we son be super drooly and soak through normal bib in half a hour . he can wear these bib for a few hour before they need change . they wash and dry well -lrb- do not fade -rrb- . the only thing be they be kind of big and ugly so he only wear they at home . when we go out he wear silly Billyz Bandana bib which be just as absorbent but a smaller bandana shape .
