Does rather depend on that its made out of. Much will be glass fibre -
and that does not really hold water that well.


It doesn't feel like glass fibre. It is very soft and does not affect
my skin even if I squeeze it. It is drying out well. I think I have
been lucky.


Rockwool is a common one, although there are other products that are
becoming popular which are less irritating to the skin.

Its quite common on older places with no sarking, for snow to get blown
into the loft - often in significant quantities. Usually that would melt
and dry out in time, and you would not be aware of it unless you looked
in the loft for some reason.


Thanks. This is all highly reassuring. I only looked when I became
of the rainfall in my flat :-)
