Presented by Courtney Durfee
With Information Contributed by
Ashley Heckman and DiaperSwappers.com Moms
Cloth diapers have grown and changed with the times. They’re just as easy to use as
disposables – daddy and daycare friendly! They are healthier for your baby and the environment
and cost less than disposables over the entire course of diapering! In this packet you will discover all
the options available to you. I will cover Cloth Diaper Types, Diaper Covers, Accessories (Pins, Snappis,
Liners, Doublers, etc.), Diaper Pails and Storage, Washing and Drying, Cloth Safe Creams and Products, Local
Resources and Cloth Diapering Resources.
Feel free to pass this packet on to others and share the cloth love!

Cloth Diaper Types
Flat: A single layered fabric (typically cotton) that can be folded where absorbency is needed most, or
simply folded into a square and used like a prefold. Cotton weaves include birdseye & muslin.
Economical and one sized (can be doubled when baby is older). Receiving blankets can be used (but
need to be pinned). You need a cover to make this type of diaper waterproof. Needs pins or snappi and
many use with a doubler for naps and overnights. There are a variety of folds that can be used with flats.
See the resources and links page at the end of this packet.
Prefold: A flat, layered, rectangular diaper with extra layers for absorbency in the center. Commonly
used with a fastener and waterproof cover. Economical to buy and can be repurposed as burp/cleaning
cloths or inserts/doublers. Great for the newborn stage. You need a cover to make this type of diaper
waterproof. Prefolds can be customized with a decorative fabric on one side or the middle layer.

Pre-Fitted: A fitted diaper made from a prefold. Goes on like a disposable. May have snaps or aplix
(a.k.a. velcro, hook and loop, touchtape) closure, or require pins or a Snappi. You need a cover to make
this type of diaper waterproof.
Fitted: A shaped diaper that includes elasticized legs. Most commonly has an aplix or snap closure. You
need a cover to make this type of diaper waterproof.
Contour: Shaped, like a fitted diaper, but without elastic and usually without attached closures.
Commonly used with pins or a Snappi. You need a cover to make this type of diaper waterproof.
Pocket: A 2 layered diaper that requires the addition of an absorbent insert. The outer layer is most
commonly made of PUL, with the inner (the part that sits against baby's skin) being a "stay-dry" fabric
(microfleece, suedecloth, etc.) that allows moisture to seep through to the insert, keeping baby's skin
dry. Use a fresh, clean insert and pocket at each change. You do NOT need a cover to make this type of
diaper waterproof.

All In One (AIO): The closest option to disposable diapers. Outside is made of a waterproof layer, and
the absorbency is sewn in- no stuffing inserts! Some AIO’s are “hybrids” with a pocket to stuff extra
absorbency if you so choose. You do NOT need a cover to make this type of diaper waterproof.
All In Two (AI2): Similar to an AIO, but with a removable absorbent layer for easier washing and faster
drying. Absorbent layer is usually snapped in place inside the diaper, sitting directly against baby's skin.
You do NOT need a cover to make this type of diaper waterproof.

Diaper Covers
For use with flats, prefolds, fitted and prefitted diapers
Polyurethane Laminate (PUL): The waterproof fabric commonly used for making diapers and diaper
covers. Can be air dried and reused in a day's rotation unless soiled with poo. 3-6 are usually adequate
for a full diapering stash.
Nylon: Not as commonly used as PUL, but a popular economical alternative. Usually found in a pull-on
style cover. Gerber makes a variety of these pull-on covers.
Wool (Soakers, Shorties, Longies, Skirties): Wool yarn can be used to knit or crochet diaper covers that,
once treated with lanolin, are quite waterproof. Wool covers also offer breathability that PUL covers do
not, as well as certain antimicrobial properties.
Hand washing/applying lanolin necessary.
Can be used multiple days without washing.
Interlock (Soakers, Shorties, Longies, Skirties): Wool or acrylic yarn that has been tightly woven into
more of a fabric than knitting or crocheting produces.
Acrylic (Soakers, Shorties, Longies, Skirties): Like wool, but made with acrylic yarn. Can be washed more
often and washed/dried with your normal laundry.
Must be washed after a day or less.
Fleece (Soakers, Shorties, Longies, Skirties): A synthetic alternative to wool, fleece can be treated with
fabric softener for water resistance and used as a diaper cover. Must be washed after a day or less.
Soaker: A term for a diaper cover made of wool, acrylic, or fleece, most commonly in the form of a pullon (rather than wrap w/ aplix or snap closure). See also: Soaker definition in Accessories.

Accessories
Pins: Special safety pins used to fasten certain types of diapers.
Snappi: An alternative to pins. 2-3 is usually adequate for a full diapering stash.
Aplix, Touchtape: Velcro
Liners: Piece of fabric or paper that is laid into a diaper to protect the diaper from creams, make
removal of poo easier, or provide a "stay-dry" feeling on baby's skin. Most of the paper liners on the
market are flushable. Fleece liners are easily and cheaply made by cutting synthetic fabric store
microfleece into rectangles.
Inserts: Separate absorbent layers for use inside pocket diapers.
Doublers: Extra (usually smaller) inserts for use in combination with primary inserts.
Soaker: Another term for the absorbent layer of any diaper. See also: Soaker definition in Covers.
How Many do I need?
Newborns will need between 10-12 diaper changes a day. After 3 months your baby will need 6-10
changes a day. The numbers below are the bare minimum amounts recommended for full-time
diapering by parents who specifically use each kind of diaper. Less of each would be required if you use
more than one type. Each amount listed is per child in diapers.
Flats Two dozen diapers, 4-6 covers, 2-3 snappies, and at least one set of pins
Prefolds Two Dozen, 4-6 covers, 3-10 doublers, 2 to 3 snappies, and at least one set of pins
Fitteds/Pre-Fitteds One to two dozen diapers with 5 to 10 covers
Pockets, AIO's and AI2's 12 diapers
Cloth Wipes 2 1/2 to 3 dozen
Pails and Storage
Wet Pail: A dirty diaper storage pail that employs water and/or additives in which dirty diapers soak
until wash day. Covered diaper pails with water and some detergent is a common combination. Wet pail
users must be extra diligent about the safety of little ones. Pails should lock and be in a closed off
location to prevent babies from drowning.
Dry Pail: A dirty diaper storage pail that does not use liquids to soak diapers. Dirty diapers are sprayed
or wiped of solids (or left alone), and then simply tossed in the dry pail until wash day. A common
combination is a “wetbag” in a covered garbage bag or a hanging “wetbag” on a doorknob.
Combating Pail Stink: Though some moms use commercially marketed diaper pails with success, the
most common solutions seem to be simple lidded plastic trash cans, buckets, or tall laundry hampers.
Most seem to agree that the more air that can circulate around the diapers, the less stink they have (and
their home still smells normal as well!). Cleaning the inside of the pail on wash day goes a long way
toward getting rid of any smell, as does a few drops of essential oil (like Tea Tree Oil) on a small piece of
cloth tossed into the pail and some pail liners even come with a piece sewn in for this purpose.
Washing and Drying
Some diaper brands have specific washing directions but the following holds true for most diapers:
Detergent: You cannot use just any detergent on your cloth diapers. Those with whiteners and softeners
may cause your diapers to repel (instead of absorb) moisture. Common advice is to use a very small
amount of detergent to wash diapers, in order to help prevent buildup and skin irritation. Charlie’s Soap
is a great additive-free detergent to use on your clothes and your diapers and costs less per load!
Pre-Rinsing: Most cloth diaper users do a cold pre-rinse with no detergent in their washing machine
before doing the actual wash cycle to rinse away urine and any leftover solids.
Washing: Wash routines may vary according to your detergent, washing machine, type of water, etc.
Extra Rinses: Some cloth diaper users do extra rinse cycles at the end of their wash in order to ensure
that all of the detergent has been washed away.
Drying Methods: Some diapers and covers require line drying, and some can be machine dried. Line
drying diapers with aplix closures and/or PUL may help extend the life of those components. Drying
diapers on the line in the sun also helps remove stains!
Laundry Additives: Depending on the type of water you have (soft or hard), softening additives may be
necessary to get diapers clean in the wash. Essential oils may also be added to the wash water to add
scent. Though fabric softener is never recommended for cloth diapers, white vinegar is commonly used
in its place, as well as in a pre-wash rinse cycle to help combat ammonia.
Stripping: The act of removing detergent buildup or other contaminants (ammonia, yeast, etc.) from
diapers which usually involves multiple hot wash cycles, multiple extra rinses, boiling, dish detergent,
and less commonly a dishwasher. Not necessary if your diapers are properly cared for.
Sunning: The act of removing stains from wet diapers by drying in bright sunlight.
Cloth Safe Creams and Products
Use of diaper creams is not recommended by most diaper manufacturers. Other cloth diapering parents
have suggested that the following creams are okay for use with cloth diapers.
- Northern Essences Rash Salve
- Dixiebabies Bum Butter
- London Frogg Bum Butter
- The Magic Stick
- Jack's Magic Beanstalk Rash Magic Tub
- Grandma Els Diaper Rash Cream
- Method Diaper Cream
Other Info
You may also come across other types of diapers not mentioned in this book as there are innumerable
brands, diaper patterns and ever evolving concepts on how the cloth diaper should be. Two popular
alternatives to the kinds listed earlier in this packet are explained briefly below.
- gDiapers “hybrid diapers” which entail
an outer cover that velcros shut in the
back instead of the front, a snap-in liner
that only needs changed out if soiled
with poo, outer cover can be reused
until soiled which saves on diaper
laundry. Comes in S, M(which fits 13 to
28lbs and might as well be one-size),
and L to be used with flushable/
disposable inserts or the new gCloth
inserts. Many WAHMs also make cloth
inserts for these diapers. gDiaper covers
can be used as covers with a prefold or
flat folded up inside the liner.
-groBaby diaper system is a one-size
diaper that has a snap in soaker
(eliminating the need for the snap-in
liner of gDiapers) that is certified
organic cotton and a reusable outer
shell. The idea is that the shell only
needs changed if soiled with poo,
otherwise you just wetbag the soiled
soaker and snap in a fresh one thereby
saving on the amount of diaper laundry.
Has a “quick dry” inner mesh and front
Velcro.
Cloth Diapers in Day Care
The New York State regulations for day care centers dictate:
“The provider must use disposable diapers or arrange with the parent(s) or a commercial diaper service
to provide an adequate supply of cloth diapers. Non-disposable diapers must not be laundered in the
child day care center, and must be stored in a securely covered receptacle until returned to the diaper
service. When parents provide non-disposable diapers, soiled diapers must be placed in a securely tied
plastic bag and returned to the parent at the end of the day.”
Laurie Rankin of Family of Woodstock says, “Each child care program can decide if they wish to deal with
cloth diapers or if disposables will be required. Each program may also change their policy at any given
time. The policies regarding the use of cloth diapers in the child care setting is just one of many
questions that a parent should ask when they are interviewing child care programs.”
For your convenience I have listed a few child care centers that accept the use of cloth diapers below
but you could always share the quote from the state regulations with your care provider as well as
showing them some of your diapers and how easy they are to use if they give you any trouble. Many
care providers learn to love cloth after doubtfully agreeing to give it a try!
