For full-time cloth diapering, you’ll need 20-30 diapers, washing every 2-3 days.

Yes! The diaper is suitable for newborns. Its one-size-fits-all design adjusts as your baby grows, starting from 6 lbs.

Yes! The diaper is adjustable and designed to fit babies from around 6 to 35 lbs.

No, your baby is never too old to start wearing cloth diapers. Our diaper is adjustable in size and can fit toddlers as well. Switching to cloth diapers can be especially helpful if your baby is potty training or has sensitive skin.

The diaper features:

✔ A waterproof outer shell that prevents leaks.
✔ A built-in pocket where the absorbent pads (called inserts) are placed for customizable absorbency.
✔ Two types of inserts made of highly absorbent material to soak up moisture (included with the diaper).

To use, adjust the diaper’s size with the snaps on the front, stuff the inserts into the pocket, and your baby is ready to go!

1. Adjust the size by snapping the rise snaps on the front to fit your baby’s length.
2. Stuff the insert into the built-in pocket for absorbency.
3. Place the diaper under your baby and pull the front up to the belly.
4. Snap the waist snaps for a snug but comfortable fit. Make sure there are no gaps at the legs or waist to prevent leaks.
5. Check the fit by running a finger around the edges. The diaper should be secure but not too tight.
6. Your baby is now ready to go!

Tip: For baby boys, make sure to point his privates downward before fastening the diaper to help prevent leaks at the waist.

Every 2-3 hours or immediately if the diaper is soiled or fully wet.

Not always. If the diaper still feels dry and absorbent, it can last a little longer. However, if it is fully wet, you will need to change it.

• If the diaper is wet: No need to rinse. Place it in a dry pail or wet bag.
• If the diaper is soiled: If your baby is not exclusively breastfed, remove solids into the toilet before storing the diaper. Breastfed stool is water-soluble and can go straight into the wash.
• If you rinse the diaper: Let it dry completely before adding it to your storage container.

Important: Do not soak dirty diapers. Keep them dry until wash day to prevent odors and mildew.

Cleaning poop from cloth diapers depends on whether your baby is breastfed or eating solids.

✔ Breastfed poop: It is water-soluble, meaning you can put the diaper directly in the wash without rinsing. Breastfed baby poop washes out completely in the washing machine.

✔ Formula-fed & solid food poop: Once your baby is on formula or solids, poop is thicker and needs to be removed before washing. Simply:

• Shake or plop solids into the toilet.
• Use a spatula, or diaper sprayer to remove as much stool as possible.
• Dispose of the waste, let the diaper dry completely if rinsed, then place it in a wet bag or dry pail until wash day.

Tip: Using diaper liners (disposable or reusable) makes cleanup even easier!

Yes! Many daycares accept cloth diapers. Check with your provider to review their policy and reassure them about the ease of use of modern cloth diapers (forget your grandpa’s diapers!).

No! Cloth diapers do not cause more rashes than disposables. In fact, many parents find that cloth diapers reduce the risk of diaper rash because they are made from breathable fabrics and contain no harsh chemicals like those found in disposables.

Remember, prompt changes help prevent diaper rash!

Yes, but use a cloth-safe cream and only as much as needed to cover the affected area to avoid buildup. Avoid products that contain zinc oxide and petroleum.

Not if they fit properly and are changed regularly! Check for gaps at the legs and waist and adjust absorbency if needed. For more tips on preventing leaks, check out our complete cloth diaper guide.

Many parents find that babies in cloth diapers potty train sooner because they can feel the wetness more naturally.

Not at all! Today’s cloth diapers are designed for convenience and ease of use, this is not a return to the 50s. Our diapers work just like disposables. Give cloth diapering a try, and you might just find it addictive!

No, cloth diapers do not restrict movement. While they may have a bit more bulk than disposables, babies adapt quickly and move comfortably.

The diaper is designed to last from infancy to potty training and can even be reused for future siblings.

The snaps allow the diaper to adjust in size so it fits your baby from 6 to 35 lbs, growing with them from birth to potty training.

Parents love cloth diapers because they are a safe and practical choice.

• Unlike disposables, cloth diapers are made from 100% fabrics with no mysterious chemicals touching your baby's delicate skin.
• Cloth diapers are designed to last for years. One-size-fits-all cloth diapers can grow with your baby from infancy to potty training, eliminating the need to buy thousands of disposables and saving parents the headache of figuring out the right size with every growth spurt.
• Many parents also find that cloth diapered babies potty train earlier because they can naturally feel wetness, helping them recognize when they need to go.
• Parents also love that it is an alternative to single-use diapers. Cloth diapers can be reused hundreds of times. It's an eco-friendly choice that significantly reduces waste.
• And let’s not forget that cloth diapers come in the most adorable designs, letting you style your baby with every change!

Cloth diapering is growing in popularity, especially among eco-conscious families. The cloth diaper market size in the U.S. is projected to grow significantly, reaching an estimated value of almost $1 billion (USD 930.28 million) by 2032. Source: Fortune Business Insights.

Absolutely! Cloth diapers washed properly are just as sanitary as disposables.

You can store dirty diapers in:

• A plastic or metal laundry basket (preferably with holes for ventilation).
• A diaper pail with a liner.
• A wet bag placed inside a container or hung on a hook.

Recommendations:

• Leave the container open to allow airflow, which helps slow the growth of bacteria.
• Keep the container in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing it in the bathroom, as moisture can promote mildew and odors.
• Do not soak dirty diapers, just keep them dry until wash day.

Washing every 2-3 days is recommended to prevent odors, stains, and bacteria growth.

1. Remove solids (if baby is eating solids) before washing.
2. Run a prewash with cold water.
3. Do a long, heavy-duty wash with enough detergent using warm (104°F) water.
4. Rinse well and air-dry or tumble dry on low.

Tip: Ensure the washer is not under or overloaded. Aim for a 2/3 full load for proper cleaning.

For a complete wash routine, check out our cloth diaper guide.

Many mainstream detergents work well as long as they are free of fabric softeners and excessive additives. Avoid homemade detergents, as they may not clean properly.

Tip: You can check the Fluff Love University Detergent Index for cloth-safe detergent recommendations.

No, it reduces the diaper’s absorbency.

To keep your cloth diapers absorbent and long-lasting, avoid using:

• Borax (use Calgon instead)
• Bleach (oxygen or chlorine)
• Fabric softeners
• Laundry boosters
• Pure soap
• Dryer sheets
• Sanitize cycles or high heat cycles in HE machines

Tip: Use Calgon instead of Borax to soften your water.

Yes! After running a cold prewash cycle, you can add other items such as your baby's bibs, pajamas, and other clothing.

Use a water softener, such as Calgon, or a detergent formulated for hard water. Extra rinses are not recommended.

Be careful! Do not add your water softener to your washer’s fabric softener compartment, as that compartment is meant for fabric softener and is dispensed during the cycle’s final rinse.

Air drying is the best way to extend their lifespan, but tumble drying on low heat is also an option. Never dry cloth diapers on radiators, as high heat can damage the fabric and elastics.

Tips: Avoid stretching the elastics while the diapers are warm, as this can cause them to wear out faster. Allow the diapers to completely cool before stuffing and using.

No, high heat can damage waterproof materials and elastics.

Sun-drying is a natural and effective way to remove stains. Position the lining (the fabric that touches the baby’s skin) directly under sunlight for the best results. Keep the waterproof outer layer in indirect sunlight to prevent damage from UV rays and high heat.

Tips: To prevent stains, rinse soiled diapers in COLD water as soon as possible. Hot water will set stains. Using diaper liners can also help minimize staining and make cleanup easier.

Try adjusting your washing routine.

• Not enough detergent: Use more to fully clean the diapers.
• Machine too full or too empty: Aim for a balanced load (about 2/3 full).
• Skipping the prewash: A short cold prewash removes waste before the main wash.
• Wash cycle too short: Use a long, heavy-duty cycle (ideally at least 90 minutes) for a deep clean.
