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.

Page 4: Cloth Diapers For Today’s Families - CD Doula Services

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 pull-

on (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.

Page 8: Cloth Diapers For Today’s Families - CD Doula Services

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.

Page 9: Cloth Diapers For Today’s Families - CD Doula Services

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.

Page 10: Cloth Diapers For Today’s Families - CD Doula Services

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!
