The puke tends to slide around over terrys compared to muslins.. Can you tell I've caught a lot of sick Fleece is the best if its been washed a few times in terms of soaking up and catching chunky pooky... But muslins are just really handy as they are absorbent as well as big... I still can't leave the house without them.. they're called sicky blankets in our house and I have a range of them. Terry towling ones, muslin ones, cut up old fleece ones.
My mum said she used the muslin for folding up and putting into the terry's nappies as a kind of soaker way back when, so that is probably their first intended use and over time, people have just found other uses for them... but having a reflux baby I honestly cannot recommend them enough.
