there is no such membrane. It is just skin which is composed of skin cells. Although, it could be said that skin is partially semi-permeable since it sucks oxygen and excretes sweat and vapor.

How do you wash cloth diaper covers?

Washing covers depends on the material. For wool covers, they must always be handwashed and line dried. For laminated polyester covers, they can be washed in warm water, gentle setting, with the baby's clothes. It is not recommended that they be washed with the diapers. I prefer to hang dry the covers although most will allow for 20 minutes in the dryer at a low setting. Generally, I just handwash my covers daily and let them dry overnight with ivory detergent (this is one of the few dishwashing soaps that are considered a detergent and not a soap. Using soap will undermine the covers waterproofing ability).


What covers the outside of the body?
