Getting started with cloth

Using cloth diapers is simplier than you may think - after all, the diapers were invented by a mom like you! Here are 10 tips to getting started on your journey:

  • SELECT A SIZE: Check our online size chart to find the right fit.

  • PICK COLORS: Leave generic diapering to your friends using disposables.

  • AMOUNT NEEDED: Purchase 12-16 diapers to get started. Look for bulk discounts!

  • ACCESSORIES NEEDED: You will need a washable diaper pail. You may want an optional diaper rinser or mini-shower to rinse soiled diapers over the toilet.

  • TRY IT ON: After receiving your order, try one on with an insert in before washing the entire lot to ensure a perfect fit. You cannot return washed or soiled diapers.

  • DIAPER CHANGES: Simply plop solids if any in the toilet, separate the insert from the diaper and place both in your diaper pail.

  • YOUR FIRST LOAD OF LAUNDRY: Empty diaper pail contents into the washing machine. Soak or rinse/spin on cold and then run a hot water cycle with half detergent. Rinse with cold water. Line dry or dry on low setting in your dryer.

  • YOUR FIRST WEEKS: Like any new routine, getting used to cloth diapers takes time and patience. Your first few diaper changes and washings may take some getting used to... don’t give up!

  • ENJOY THE EASE: Once you get into your groove, you won’t even think twice about using cloth. Plus, you will never have to worry about running out of diapers, making midnight runs to the store to buy diapers, storing bulky boxes of diapers in your house or buying diaper rash ointments and creams. In other words, all you’ll ever need to diaper your baby is in your home... where it should be.
