Using cloth diapers away from home is both easy and convenient — and the feeling of leaving no rubbish behind really is wonderful! With the right planning and a few smart products, you can enjoy being out and about while making a thoughtful choice for your child. Here are our best tips for smooth diaper changes wherever you are.
Pack smart
Organization is the key to a stress-free day... well, as stress-free as life with little ones gets! Our wet bags are perfect for creating an illusion of control in the changing bag:
Medium or small wet bag: Store used diapers in a neat, odor-free solution until you get home. Choose the size depending on how many changes you're planning — or how many unforeseen events you want to guard against.
Small or mini wet bag: Perfect for keeping damp cloth wipes and other small bits close to hand. You can even add a little oil to the cloth wipes in the wet bag if you tend to use it at diaper changes.
Having everything organized means you don't have to hunt for the right thing when you need it — and perhaps, just perhaps, get a feeling that you've got it all under control. At least until the next "surprise" turns up!
Choose the right diaper for you
If you want to pack as little as possible, cover diapers are a fantastic choice. You only need to change the insert and can reuse the cover if it's still clean. If you'd rather have ready-prepared changes to save time, pocket diapers are an excellent option. It's a matter of taste!
Tip! Pack a few extra inserts or diapers too, so you're ready if there's longer between changes than you'd planned. An extra insert used as a booster in the diaper is a smart solution for longer stretches. A simple combination that works brilliantly on the go is a plain insert under a prefold — compact and effective!
Keep it fresh and simple
Bring damp cloth wipes and keep them in a small wet bag. It's both practical and gentle on your child. If you usually use oil at diaper changes, you can easily add a little to the cloth wipes beforehand.
Remember to pop a mild balm in the changing bag — perfect to have to hand should the need arise.
Make room for flexibility
It's always good to be ready for the unexpected. Pack a wet bag for travel to handle surprises like spilt food, sticky clothes or diapers that need to be kept separate. Our wet bags help you stay organized without having to reach for disposable products.
Feel reassured and enjoy the moment
Cloth diapers on the go are all about simplicity — and about the freedom of knowing you have what you need with you. Relax and enjoy the moment!
