Have you ever felt the soft side of a piece of velcro? Not the hard plastic hook one, the one that is supposed to be all scraggly and soft?
I propose a cheap, soft blanket made from plastic! Using the same technology used in velcro making, a plastic sheet it cut, and velcro fibers are applied. It
is cheap, soft, comfortable, and can be mass produced for disaster stricken areas! And, no need to wash, or worry about it getting wet! it's plastic, so it won't get soaked when wet, and will dry easily.
See Link for side of velcro that the fibers would be made from.
(?) Velcro Fiber

So, the idea is (to simplify greatly) fuzzy
blankets made of synthetic fibres? |
|
|
I'm confused by your link. Is the side of
the Velcro you mean the one indicated
by the red circle and the arrow and the
label that reads "this side"? |
|
|
Yes. It is cheap, water proof, and can be mass produced easily. Not so sure about whther it can be warm or not... |
|
|
would it help or hinder eneuresis troubles? |
|
|
I thought the benchmark for sticky blankets was an army one. [po] I think it could take "water retention" to a whole new level. |
|
|
//would it help or hinder eneuresis
troubles?// It is so fuzzy, so water-
repellent and so cheap that it would be
bound to. Where can I buy one? What
am I saying?? Where can I buy a dozen??

Erm... in all honesty, synthetic blankets are not altogether original? |
|
|
But this is: //a cheap, soft blanket made
from plastic!// and it is //cheap, soft,
comfortable, and can be mass produced
for disaster stricken areas! And, no
need to wash, or worry about it getting
wet!// What more could one possibly
want? |

|
I'm disappointed. I thought this idea would also use the hard plastic hook side to prevent drafts. |
|
|
I was thinking, maybe the other side of the velcro could be an add on, that you could use to make a thicker blanket from. They would stick together, considering that they are velcro. |
|
|
I'm not sure what I big square of velcro would feel like (may be very itchy) but if its comfy then its a good idea. [+] |
|
|
And this differs from other fuzzy
blankets made of synthetic fibres in the
following ways:

No, I just couldn't think of the first item
on my list. |
|
|
Ah. I was sure it was bound to happen
sooner or later. |

I think this would have great applications in child rearing. I can see how a velco blanket could help keep my 3 year old in bed after I have put her to bed. |
|
|
And if they get strong enough to pull open a whole blanket of velcro, then the rrr-iii-iii-pppp will let parents know when they are trying to sneak over to the toy box. |
|
|
Plus, if it is water proof - then you don't have to worry about them having to get out of bed to use the potty in the night. |
