  • Types of Cloth Diapers

    Contrary to what many think, cloth diapers come in a variety of styles, making them convenient for most life styles.

  • Prefold Diapers

    Prefold diapers are the rectangular shaped and feature three sections with the middle being the most absorbent. They are referred to by 4-6-4, 4-8-4 or more rarely 2-4-2, which represents the number of layers in each of the three sections. They may be closed by velcro, safety pins or simply folded into some covers. They must be covered in a waterproof cover to prevent leaks.

  • Fitted Diapers

    Fitted diapers are styled after the disposable diaper. They feature a contoured shaped, fitting nicely around the legs without the need to fold as with the prefolds. Many fitted diapers are made with velcro or snap closures for easy usage. Fitted diapers must also have a waterproof cover in order to prevent leaks.

  • Pocket Diapers

    Pocket diapers are a great alternative if you are looking for the convenience of a disposable diaper but are looking for environmentally safe, money-saving diapers. Pocket diapers feature a water-proof cover with a pocket built-in to allow for soakers to be added for absorbency. They normally feature either Velcro or snap closures for easy usage.

  • All-In-One Diapers

    All-In-One diapers are exactly that, they are the closest to a disposable diaper. They feature a waterproof outer layer and soakers are built in. They are normally made with Velcro or snap closures.

  • Diaper Covers or Soakers

    Diaper covers can be made of a variety of materials. Many cloth diaper users have their preference, but the most popular styles are made of polyurethane laminate or more commonly called PUL. Another popular choice is wool soakers. Despite the common misperception, wool is one of the softest and most absorbent diaper covers available.
